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.

The same night I started taking a tablespoon before bed I slept better, so that was immediate. Within a week or so my hand and wrist pain was alleviated enough I didnt have to wear a brace after typing all day at work. I also stopped taking ibuprofen for my knees around this time after workouts. And after about 2-3 weeks or so I noticed my stomach problems werent as bad as before I started the gelatin. Pretty amazing!

Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower. I cannot give an honest answer as I am usually sitting behind my PC while using these ear buds. Still,they have lasted longer than any other set I've owned (considering my cats and my jumbled work area).The quality sound and durable cords are the best thing I can tell you for sure. Hopefully another user will be able to help you with the "work out" question. I have no problem with them falling out but then again, I am not chopping wood or jogging with them in. Wish I could be more help~Cheers! Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower.

It helps lose water weight, you will see a different in your stomach but it only works actively if you work out with it on. The most you sweat while it's on, the better the results.

Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.

I'm fat too and I haven't had any problem with it coming off. I put it high on my hip, where there are no rolls, on my abdomen, high up by my breasts, and by my belly button. The problem I've had is it only works for 1-2 days. I wonder if this is related to a higher dose being needed if you are overweight.

I am sorry for the delay in answering. This stuff works but I have a hard time keeping something wrapped around my arms and thighs for it to work. Everything seems to slip off. I use it on my stomach with a wrap and that is great.

I didn't have any gas problems as much as nauseous but they definitely helped ease all my stomach distress. I have Celiac Disease so these are a go to. Hope this helps.

Don't think that would be a problem as your stomach acid will break that down. Eating, talking can loosen them. Crest came out with the stronger adhesive. They really stay in place. I haven't seen them in retail yet. Amazon has some.

I rarely use them now because I'm rarely home and I'm single ...but when I did use them...yes..I only used them at home. I was not confident in public or at work. I was scared it would fall out. Lol. I wore mine while house cleaning since the box indicates they work best with you standing as opposed to sitting. Lol..my daughter would ask if I was ok because I would walk funny for awhile. Then you get used to it being in there because you learn to squeeze that muscle. Don't use them for too long at a time or every day because like with every muscle you will get sore. Haha..

It does what it supposed to do, you can feel you and contracting with higher settings; does it help losing belly fat? Maybe it contributes about 10% at most; I feel that sit ups are more effective. It's an individual case though, it can work much better for you. Bottom line the product is good; I have had it for a long time now; it's of good quality and does work

If I've been retaining extra water it will stay off. But aside from shedding all excess water, I think it helps tone the stomach.

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.

They can't "build" stomach muscles. If you are new to working out, they can be used to incorporate many more exercises into your workout routine. If the bands help keep you active and burning calories along with a sensible diet, then you will be able to "see" your stomach muscles. If you are somewhat advanced, then you can get creative and assist in "strengthening" the abdominal and core muscles, but you must be careful with the bands.

really good, they won't move around at all, i use them all the time when lifting weights and on the stationary bike. The sweat can be a problem, but just wipe it off from time to time and it shouldn't be a big deal.

I have found that they slowly slip out if i am jogging. If I am just lifting they remained in place. I also make sure to wipe any sweat off after use to prevent issues.

There ab exercises that you can do with them. It all depends on which ones you want to do. One exercise I've used them for is 60 second decline planks (that's a killer)! Plus they come with a workout that you could work into your own routine. The balls have a good grip and are durable. Hope this helps.
