How well do these work for holding stomach flab in place when you're exercising? I need something that will ease the "jostling stomach pain". Thanks

I lost 200 pounds and have a little extra skin in the stomach area as you can imagine. These don't really support me enough on their own I actually pair them up with another pair of compression shorts. But my main purpose is the compression for my hips so I'm not really focused on the stomach so much but that's where I get my support

They aren't compression shorts, just spandex. They don't help hold anything in place really.

I guess it depends on how much flab you have to hold in. I bought these to use for swim shorts and I think they do pretty well at holding stomach in and thighs look slimmer. Of course the top comes down over some. I bought 2x even though I wear size 18 cause I did not want them so skin tight I couldn't get them on. They work fine.

These are exactly what you want. Hold in the flab and are so comfortable you won't even know you have them on!

not at all. this is what I was expecting when I bought it, but alas, no go with these...sorry.

I use them lifting, stationary bike, row machine, sit-ups, pull-ups, and indoor climbing... and they have never just fallen out. The top ear clip thing really works well. The only times they've fallen out have been because the incredibly sticky cord catches on my shirt or the gym machine. If you're a little conscious of cord management (use the included clip and/or put hand on cord during sit-ups), they should be just fine.

We do several different ones. This may sound crazy but, if you are sitting on one of the noodles and peddaling (like on a bike) and rowing with the paddles, you get a pretty good workout. I like them because I really feel it in my arms.

I workout with them. Very secure. Never had a problem with slipping off. I don't jog though

I've tried working out with these before, they tend to fall out depending on how rigorous your exercise is. If you like the brand, then I would suggest getting the A5i Sport. They fit over the back of your ear and are nearly impossible to knock off unless the cord gets jerked. http://www.klipsch.com/image-a5i-sport-headphones

These may not be long enough to satisfactorily maintain position on an overweight person. I frequently use these to hold ice packs on my lower back and it barely wraps around me 2 times with a 32 inch waist. I use two of these bandages to hold the ice pack on my lower back and it doesn't slide around. I believe all bandages would roll down on an overweight person due to the angle caused by the belly; however, I believe you will not find a better bandage on the market.

I've done pretty intense exercise in these pants (plyometrics, running) and so far the inside band in the pants have not slid down while exercising. However, I've only had the pants for a couple months. Who knows what will happen after multiple uses/washes... With that being said, an inside band that starts to get loose could also be a sign that you're losing inches from the waist!

I rock mine on the elliptical, rowing machine, lifting, core work...they move a little on a treadmill but that is because there is more impact with running/jogging. I can't keep ear-buds in my ears, my beats saved the day!

I think it will help clenching. You will still be able to curl your fingers a little but the padding in the palm area of your hand will keep you from clenching. I am using mine and it is really helping with my hands/arms going numb. I put them on and adjusted them to be tight but comfortable and I can still slip them off and then on again without undoing the velcro.

That's up to you. For my clients that I train, I encourage them (as my trainer did when I first got one) to wear it all the time. Especially when you sleep and work out. The more you wear it, the more effect it will have. Consider also using a salve like Preparation H on your stomach underneath it as well.

I don't know if it really tones your stomach as hard core ab work does. I use mine often while watching TV. It is just fun and if I get a slight toning benefit, that is great.I exercise regularly and my stomach is getting toned, but the lose of weight and overall exercise with the hula hoop all account for that. Be aware, the waves in the hoop with the weight can make you a bit sore, and I even had a small bruise by my hip bone at first, but your body gets used to it. I love my Hula Hoop :)

HI Sierra! I bought the product, because I wanted something to help with my legs and belly. I have had two kids. I have a friend that recommended this. I didn't use it as often as I should of but seen results. For your Question I used it on my stomach were I needed tightening and on my legs . It also helped with my stretch marks on my stomach. Hope this helped.

Yes. I have been very pleased with them. They have helped with my hot flashes. No stomach problems.

Bobby, Most likely not practical for burpees. Its a pain to wear doing jumping jacks. You can make it fit snug around your abdomen but it does shift some doing any jumping up movement. Hope that helps.

I have wear them a few time in the past week. I have knee problems constantly and when running on the mill more than 3 miles, I could not stand the pain. I've tried knee straps and although it helps, the pain persist.Then I tried the Gel Force and the results are GREAT! It feels weird at the beginning, but after a few miles, I had no pain or discomfort. Recommended!

This was easy to put on and take off. Of course, I would recommend that you do this sitting. Now I didn't like this product, because it didn't reinforce the hold to my lower stomach as I had hoped. I hoped this was helpful.Cynthia

Good Day! If you wear it during exercise it will help to pull excess water and burn fat. I am a personal trainer and I use it myself and highly recc. it for all my clients. You have to wear it consistently however, as it is not a miracle worker :).
