  • Seize the day! Be free of your burden...
I have been using Underworks 974 black cotton concealer. Get a size one smaller than what you would wear for a t-shirt. Got some other ones but returned them and got a refund easily and replaced them with #974. So you could order a couple of different types so see what you prefer. It also shapes the abdomen area pretty well for an overall toned appearence. Havent tried other brands so cant say this is better definitively but works well enough for me!

The binding is pretty good and the cotton on top makes it comfortable and hidden. Wear typically most of the work day and to gym in the evenings and it withstands it.

Have been using it for the last 2 months...it has been put through lotsa machine wash/dry... no problems yet.

Tip: Wear something like Hanes TAGLESS ComfortSoft Crewneck Men's Undershirt *underneath* the binder so that that can absorb all the sweat and the binder remains clean/fresh for longer and can be reused. These undershirts are really thin so you dont really feel an extra layer and they protect your skin from the binding layer spandex. Get an undershirt that cover the underarms def.


I read your post and it put me over the fence on getting the 974. Got it last week and I love it too. Works fine and the tshirt underneath works great. No chaffing. :)

After my 3 weeks of wearing my compression vest for 24/7, I'm allowed to wear it day or night for the next 3 weeks.  I'd rather wear the compression vest at night and wear a vest from underworks or another brand during the day, since I'm not finding this vest comfortable, slightly restrictive and considering i'll be a lot of active during that, i'd rather go with something a bit more designed for everyday use.  Can any of you recommend me one?
Thanks

I use GC2 compression because it's more affordable and seems to have the most value for what you pay for(as in compression and long lasting).

I have some of their black tank tops.  One of the best purchases ever.  Not only did it make me less aware of my boobs, but it's virtually invisible unless I lift up my shirt.  If my shirt collar droops a little, all you'll see is my chest hair.  Which is great because I was always afraid that a compression vest would be obvious.

ive had a veronique for well over a year now.  it was great and held its elasticity for a long time but is falling a part now due to wearing daily and washing quite a bit.  i would recommend and rebuy but ive seen some package deals out there and might try looking into those if i see some decent user reviews.

this is what i have

I evaluated many garments before picking the ones shown on your first link. That link can take you to with and without demonstrations of how effective the garment is at different body weights and with animation.

Hope this helps,
