I wish there was one that was strong enough to hold in this umbilical hernia.

@@OneDollarBill does it help with compressing down the moobs?

To an extent. There is only so much that can be done. I guess it also depends on the moobs in questions too.

I have been using both Under Armor and Reebok compression tops (short/no sleeves) and bottoms (compression pants to the ankles) for about a good month now. My leg muscles don't feel bad at all after doing long term cardio like I would normally feel without the compression gear on. It also tucks in some of the unwanted flab and makes clothing feel a bit looser than without it. So far I enjoy wearing them and probably will always wear them from here on out.

I use Under Armor short sleeve compression top when going to the gym. Really does hold things in and even makes you feel a little better during the workouts.... ;)

Hi guys i dont normally do this. But i have bought three of these recently, two white and one black, and they are uber comfortable and very forgiving, they hold in the moobs better than any shirt ive worn, even the Spanx isnt as good, and the loose skin control in the tummy area is amazingly good, and these are cheap. im not associated with them at ll. but i thought these of you on a budget might really love these, i know i do and for reference i buy them the same size as the shirt i should be wearing. so basically the same size as the shirt you would wear if your stuff was more tucked in.

@@Stevehud Thanks for the heads up. I looked at the listing but I don't see sizing. What size would you guess compared to UA? I am in a XL in UA right now

I sent a message to the seller asking for sizing info. If they get back to me I'll post it here for everyone's reference.

WELL I GO BY ME, but im down to the point where im wearing a size large shirt, but they have some rumples so to speak lol from loose skin and etc. I bought size large in these shirts and they are the exact right size to hol dme in. so basically if your wearing a xl but very comfortably, i.e. it hides things and could probably wear a size smaller shirt without the bulges. Well let me put this another way i wear some xl's because they look better due to things sticking out , moobs etc, but i fit into a large very well. so i bought the large in these shirts and they fit great for me. so id say whatever size you think you would fit into well if the skin was tighter etc. thats the size to go with. also lets face it at under 10 bucks, its worth taking a good guess as well.

@@Stevehud Thank man. I was thinking the same thing. At the price point I won't be out much. Plus I am going to get them in smaller sizes so if I can't wear it now I'll be able to in the future.

the best thing about these besides the great compression is that they are soft to the touch and feel nice on, they don't dig in to your skin or feel like they will cut off your circulation. Now also as a hairy guy ( very hairy body, not so much up top anymore lol.) i recently wore one of these for 18 hours ( on my recent business trip) and although i was a bit itchy toward the end, i wasn't dying to get it off and had no circulation or soreness or chafing or any of the other things that you can get from many types of compression shirts. They say hand wash, but my wife puts them in a lingerie bag and washes on cold and hang dry, and they come out like new. when wearing a polo shirt or a smooth dress shirt etc they are a necessity for me. anytime i find something that works, i post it.

I have the same problem. I need something to hide the umbilical hernia.

I also have the umbilical hernia that is pretty big. I also can't find shirts that are log enough. Some time they are mot log enough or roll up. Any suggestions on shirts. I am a 3xl, do they make 3xl long?

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
