I didn't wear any of those garments while losing however, I did use firming cream everyday...different brands....and it did nothing. I guess I was so big for so long that it was hopeless, age is not on my side either...(55). Even though I have reached goal I still have an apron of loose skin and fatty deposits, lots of loose skin on my inner thighs, just below my backside, and on my upper arms. As far as I'm concerned its a small amount of grief for the pleasure and freedom I'm feeling after reaching goal.

Garments like that could help a little bit, but in the long run, I don't think they'll help a whole lot.

My breasts didn't sag much until I quit sleeping in a bra (long before surgery), and now that they do, starting to sleep in a bra again isn't going to get them back where they were, you know?

I wore a girdle after I got below 150lbs through till I had my tummy tuck.

It did nothing to firm the skin, at all. It made me more comfortable by lifting the belly off the pubic area, reducing the rashes and sweating. But nothing else.
