I'm in good shape but recent surgery left me with the need for high abdominal support when I work out. Is the compression firm?

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants

This kind of depends on what you call firm. It gives me just enough cushion so that my bad hips are on softness.

It is not padded. Bout i think it is not compression either. Depending on your size and anatomy you might feel it a little strectch. But it looks great and shapes very well.

It's not rigid so it's flexible but you can wrap it as tight as you can stand it. I would say moderate to light compression depending upon how tight you set it.

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

Compression as in tight sticking to your body and showing every parcel of your body. Thanks for asking.

It is not too firm...It melds into my body, so it gives me support, but is not stiff.

I'm the same way. Definitely worth the buy. It's very stretchy too. I got the XXL and it helps with back pain, and weight of my belly (now 6 months).

It is very comfortable. It did compress quite a bit within a relatively short time after I began using it. I am a relatively small build, and it still gives me more than enough cushioning. I can't say how well it would hold up with someone obese, but I think it would be OK. good luck.

With proper sizing, the abdominal support was in a good location for support (from my experience). The closures are pretty easy to connect and disconnect, so you shouldn't have any issues, if you chose to remove for urination purposes. I also found this easy to clean by popping it into the wash with other items and letting it air dry. I hope this helps!

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.

Yes, I do consider it firm. I've owned mine for a few months now and it's as firm as the day I got it. It is still comfortable and helps fill the space between my back and my leather chair where I needed added support.

In my opinion, Yes! I had this belt and used it specifically to work out in. It's probabaly better to have it on when exercising as supports your back really well.

This item is a fitted fit, so it is designed to be a next to skin fit. It should not be as tight as a compression fit.

for me, it give ample support . it does not collapse much because of the inner removable dense memory foam core. (make sure to break it up before inserting. it comes packed tight like a brick and requires fluffing)

I'm a side and stomach sleeper. I think the pillow is fine for sleeping on your stomach. It has enough give to make it really comfortable and so far I have no problem doing so. I could not tell you about the high Loft or low loft, plush or firm, etc. my description is that the pillow is thick but has a good amount of give. I would not consider it to be firm but on the soft end.
