Is this bikini compression or padded?

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

This bikini has serious compression. This is pretty much what the pro volleyball players wear.

Compression. One of my favorites - very comfortable, like a sports bra. However, if you have large breasts it may not work for you.

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.

No, the bottom is not padded. It's the same material as the sides. I've used it at a pool and put a bunch of towels down inside for cushioning.

It is. The outside of the bottom is a hard shell, but it feels like about an inch of padding beteeen that and the inside of the bottom. The inside of the bottom is still nylon fabric though, not something soft and fleecy.

This is not extra padding for comfort. It is just an extra waterproofing layer (very flat).

I think it is also neoprene, or some other synthetic material. It is very soft and padded, and it fits on with Velcro. The strap on the back is elastic. Unfortunately I couldn't stand to sleep in it long enough to see if it "breathes".

It is not padded. Though it's a pretty wide strap. 2 1/2 inches give or take. I wore it more messenger style than as a purse.

No it is not padded. We found these chairs to be uncomfortable and ended up returning the set. the lower edge of the upper back rest was painful to rest against.

I don't recall if this is padded or just the custom one I had made before. Sorry

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.

It feels like the fabric used to make diving suits. It's very pretty and well padded. I really like mine.

@Christina: Yes - this seat is padded. My daughter loves it. She has been riding her Strider since she was 2 yrs old and is still riding it over 2 yrs later (along with her "pedal bike"). The extended seat really gave it a lot of extra use.

It is padded. Basically feels like sitting in a car seat. Adjustable front to back and recline.

Padded in a thin way. I'd guess 1/4" foam between two heavy plies. Great quality!

Can't completely answer your question because my seat is padded. Is rather have the few ounces more of gel on a bumpin down ride than having a numb crotch. To answer your question, it's not allot of padding but it's comfortable. The short itself is a great style and fit, and you could wear a different under short wit more gel if you needed to.

It's only a mattress cover. There is no padding to really speak of. I would call it fluffy as opposed to padded

Lower bout is 8-1/4" without compressing padding, 8-3/4" with padding compressed.

I'd say about a 3, It's pretty well padded and is worth the cost for protection!
