Don't laugh but I have a middle age pot belly! Will this shirt highlight it or help hold it in?

They are usually worn tight to help keep you warm in the water. It's stretchy but not like a spanx or that type of thing. It may help a bit though.

I'm 40 and have a very active body. This shirt is TIGHT! It will highlight it. I am 5'11" and 150 lbs. I ordered a Large because of the previous reviews. I brought it to Costa Rica surfing and was annoyed by it the whole time! It was to tight. And every time I looked down I was reminded that I definitely didn't do enough sit-ups to be wearing that shirt. Also it was very tight in the arms and neck too.

I may stretch to the top of your hips. However, I wore this short for days and if did not help me at all. I would not recommend this shirt. I foundthat lower back support braces work best. Again, I do not recommend this shirt. For the cost it should give some support.

it probably would, i'm a 32 inch waist, and i have plenty of slack and then some, which goes around to my side, but it depends on you pot belly though, this size fits most, but i'm sure they have larger ones.

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

You could where it under your shirt, but it is very big and bulky. If you had a sweatshirt or jacket on then maybe people wouldn't be able to tell, but with just a shirt on you can definitely tell. Not ideal for the workplace, but good at home or while feeding or pumping you can wear it on the other side.

On its own absolutely not. If you use it while working out the compression and added warmth of the belt HELPS burn the belly fat. I am using postpartum and have noticed a big difference in sagging skin, it's much more taught.

Yes it will....it may actually look better! Because you can pull it out far as you want it

Hi. I did not use the string that goes on the top of my belly. On the back part there is a second string attached to the front part, so stick them together as you want and do not separate them when you put it on. Use it as a belt - wide part on your lower back, small part on the bottom of your belly. But I would recommend it to wear it only when you are standing or walking - when you sit - it may push your belly and make you uncomfortable.

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 :).

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.

Don't know, but look like it in the photos. If you are in a hot climate and you have light duty, you will love this shirt. Feels like wearing nothing at all. Very thin material so might not hold up well if you handle a jackhammer all day.

Im also a 42, i got the large and its still pretty tight. Keep in mind this shirt doesnt do much for keeping your back aligned, although it is good quality material.

It has a bit of weight to it, so it would probably not be ideal as it may be floppy.I have used it on scrub bottoms with a drawstring and it's a bit irritating to your skin after a while. So You Need A t-Shirt Under And You WILL Be Good To go.Great on scrub pants pockets meant for scissors, that sort of thing, because it's a sturdy pocket.

It will show through if it's a light color t-shirt. The issue is it will not stay on for more that 5min- after you need to press the button again.

If its too large it will go up. If its the right size for you and it will stay fit on your body than you will have no problems.

It has a nice decline. I have not used for sit-ups yet, but It probably will work great.

It definitely should!My girlfriend and I had the same thought when I got them and I did try while wearing a black shirt, and fortunately it did shine through!I would say the lighter the shirt, the better you'll see the detail!
