Can these be used for the breast stroke? I just purchased a pair and they don't seem to work.

They are comfortable, work well in any water, activity I highly recommend them.

Absolutely not! I don't know how that rumor got started but it is WRONG. Fins of any kind, as far as I know, have never been meant to be used with the breaststroke.

I don't know that any flippers work well with breast stroke. That said, these are better than others I have tried.

I'm sure woman can use these gloves however it all depends on their hand structure. I would measure the hands as described and since these fit snug they would pay likely work with most women's hands. I've seen women with super small hands and larger hands and the main concern I think would be finger thickness and length. There might be a better alternative out there specifically made for women.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

I bought then for a friend who is a female, and they are perfecrt. If you want to get a pair that is sized, then you need to look at other brands, but I think these work well for all.

I am using one because of a Mastectomy and it has given me my full C. I would say yes it should work. I will warn you however that the breast forms are rather heavy and the nipple is VERY pronounced. In fact, I had to cut the nipple down because it made it difficult in wearing Tshirts. I tried a band aid but that did not work. I don't know if I would purchase this brand again because of the heaviness and nipples. Hope this helps.

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Also, consider getting the freemies hands free pumping flange attachments if you will be doing a lot of pumping. Tgey work much better than a hands free bra.

Yes they work very well. I would use this product for track , running, swimming.

I purchase these for my husband who has an abdominal port for his PD dialysis. He uses it for his daily shower but has never gone swimming. showering and immersing it in water is totally different. I would try the bigger ones so you have more space that is glued.

These are a replacement for breasts. They are slightly concave in the back and will not fit over existing breasts.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

I believe they would work with the Medela Freestyle. PersonalFit Breastshields say they fit Medela breast pumps.

I havent tried them in a pool, I have used to hiking and cross under little falls or quick immersions. I havent really use to swimming long distance, I have also used it to do ecuarobics it works.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

Hello...Just saying but these clearly state "Women's". I would not wear compression gear designed for a woman if I was a man (certain spots will get squeezed when they should not). However if you are a woman using a man ID: refer the CWX charts knowing that it is somewhat accurate (all people are build differently so going by weight and height rather than leg length and circumference is an issue). Your best bet is to try the exact brand and model at a local store and see how they fit.

I gave these to my daughter, she liked them and used them often. She said that she thought they would work for you if you keep your bra snug so that the cup stays tight against your skin, it has a soft part that goes against your skin. Hope this help.

I used them for my chest and back routines yesterday and noticed that for the chest flies that FatGripz seems to make it more strenuous for the chest. My trainer tried it himself and he noticed that it did work harder on the chest than without them.
