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!

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 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.

The bands u c really do support the muscle area and sort of stabilizes them so that that u can get the maximum workout. I have two pairs of these, the other pair has the bands that criss cross right above the knee area where I tend to have arthritis problems, they help support that area. The pants shown I use for daily running as they support my tight hamstrings which assists in keeping me from reinjuring that area. They come with directions on how u are to put them on in order that one places the bands correctly on the leg. Well worth the $$$.

Not bad, not great. I've been alternating between light jogging and fast walking and for that they work pretty good. However I find that I have to readjust them every couple of minutes because they don't stay as deep in my ear as I'd like. To be fair, I have always had a problem with finding earbuds that fit my ears well, so you may not have that problem. I've only had them actually fall out of my ear once though, so I think that's pretty good.

Here is the review that I wrote after buying this product... After I do a set, of different exercises, I use these bands as a superset to really fatigue the muscle group that I'm working that day. I have used a lot of different bands, but none has ever worked as well as these. I'm buying another set, so I can alternate sides during a set. GREAT PRODUCT!!! AND great service from AMAZON.COM Now, to answer your question... I haven't used them for leg presses, but they are definitely strong enough; you may have to wrap them around, to make them shorter. You can either sit down and wrap them under your feet and press, or lie on your back, and press up. Just make sure that when you bring your knees toward your chest, the bands are short enough to still have some resistance. I think they will work fine for leg presses; hope this helps.

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.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope I'm not too late. I would believe so. I exercise in mine regularly. Though I am not a runner. They hold in place quite well.

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.

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!

Same here, but I do notice a difference in the waistline of my pants and I'm trying to keep my abs tight every second I'm doing the work out. As long as I can see the results I don't care about feeling the "burn"!

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.

I actually wrap them around my ankles, or right above. Then in my routine, I walk sideways. I admit, I'm still on the "light" band! And I do feel the work being done for the outer hip area as well as the upper thighs. Fantastic workout.

I mainly use them on an elliptical. I also use them while lifting. I've yet to have any issues of movement. They stay in place very well.

This is a light belt designed to help hold minor hernias in place. It is not intended to help prevent them. I would not recommend using this belt for any exercise program.

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

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.
