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.

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.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

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

I have not used the extra firm, however, the original is quite firm. It is way firmer than anything I've used at a gym or PT.

I don't feel I'm qualified to answer that question since I purchased mine for use as part of my physical therapy regiment for a broken back. It is rather firm, but how it will fit your space you want to fill...I don't know.

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.!

Yes, it's very comfortable. Soft enough....yet firm. Perfect for my post exercise stretching routines. I now own 3 of them in order to have them available at the locations I frequent.....home, office, and vacation home.

I apologize for taking this long to answer your question. My phone been disconnected so I was not able to check my email. I gave birth a long time ago,so I'm just trying to get the tummy somewhat back in shape. The truth is I have not really try it at work as yet. They are pretty tight which if good. I want yo use them when I workout. Hoping to see some results. Have you bought yours?

I would wear this shirt only while working out or performing physical exertion for a sustain period of time. The longest I have worn this style shirt was four hours. The compression pressure is more beneficial with the heart beating faster and/or all muscle groups engaged in activity. It has not not ridden up my waist but I have a flat muscular stomach. The size I wear is a small. My waist is 30 inches and chest 36.5 inches. I hope this helps.

The chair is very firm. It is good for my back. I would have preferred the seat to be softer, but it is ok. It is important to have your hips and knees at a 90 degree angle to relieve stress on the back.

This is a very firm wedge which is what I needed after tummy tuck surgery I slept well but upright

I checked to see if mine ever compressed like that, as it remains firm a year after I began using it and still works well. It is 6" at top, although I rarely rest my head that high & also use a pillow on top. As long as the upper chest is higher than the stomach, I would think it's doing its job. After my esophagus was removed, my stomach is high enough to be attached to my throat and I no longer have a valve to prevent acid from getting into my mouth. The wedge still keeps mr sufficiently elevated to prevent reflux. Had I been using this pillow for several years earlier, I would probably not developed the condition that required the esophagectomy.

yes, they are soft enough to conform to any shape and give support that way. I sleep on my stomach as well, but actually less on my stomach since I bought these pillows. What they aren't good for is someone looking for rigid support, a harder surface, or a boost up sitting. I bought two. They continue to be the best pillow for my needs. Certainly price for quality is good.

DO NOT put compression on your legs if you've had a blood clot until you get evaluated by a healthcare provider. You could be compressing your existing veins/ arteries that are bypassing the clot and cause problems. Sincerely, a nure practitioner

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 still learning UA's category myself, i'm 190cm and 90.5kg and for the time being, L size fits me comfortably, the "compression" style needs someone more slim though would look great if you dont have obliques
