male only Spanx Tops? Lol...but Serious...

[esheldon76 50]

Saw these when shopping today. Spanx tops for men. Looks like a typical Under Armor compression shirt, but then I thought of the brand (Spanx) and remember my wife using some of those undies to help with the muffin top thing and started thinking. I'm down 95lbs (started 333, now 340-ish), and have a little bit of the muffin top myself, but also the man boobage is there a little. Something I think a "spanx" would be aimed at helping. If that's the case, does anyone know if one of these things are the same as the Under Armor compression shirts, or if you're familiar with Academy and their BCG line of clothes which has the same thing I think. Wouldn't mind having a couple for undershirts for work/etc, but would rather pay the generic (aka BCG brand) prices, than the crackhead "Spanx" prices. If the Spanx brand is magical and does a much better job, then I guess that justifies the price, and maybe I'd go that route, but all this just kind of made me think about it being an option rather than a joke after I got home and started thinking more about it. Thanks in advance for all your input.

I don't really know enough to know if there is much of a difference, but I do know that plenty of men wear the compression type under clothes after WLS.

Last time I was buying dress shirts, the sales guy tried to sell me something similar. He showed me the one he was wearing.

Couldnt make myself do it. But he said he swore by them.

I've tried the InstaSlim shirts. They work well, but I can't say how they stack up against others because I haven't tried any others. https://www.instaslim.com/

I don't "need" one, but would like to make things look a little better upstairs from time to time. Might have to go with a cheap one just to see how things "could" be.

My ex used to wear underarmor compression shirts and compression jockey-shorts. He went from 450+ to 180 and even with a Tummy Tuck he had loose skin. He bought them at sporting goods stores like Big 5 and I think Target has a C9 brand. They looked really good under regular clothes and you couldn't even tell he had them on.

I have yet found a compression garment that actually compresses. Nothing can draw back these thunder thighs and booty

I've tried the Under Armour, BCG brand from Academy, and the Insta slim. The Under Armour and BCG are the same. The Insta slim is almost the same but the sleeves are slightly looser like a regular t shirt. I've never tried to Spanx. The 1 problem I have is that all of them tend to roll up on me. I can't figure out how to make them stay down. I do have a very long torso, I'm 6 foot 1 but only a 30 inch inseam. I'm all torso.

esheldon76, did you ever come to a verdict?

[esheldon76 50]

Nope, but its because I just haven't remembered. Ha! Now that I've been reminded I think I'll go find a cheap one at Academy and see how I feel.
