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.

This product is great for supporting your knees for a short time during intense exercise. If your looking for somthing for all day use, i would recommend getting a compression sleeve. They are comfortable and easy to put on and maintain.

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

Not typically, I understand it to be more for aiding in holding the belly up against gravity...ie while standing. Plus you don't want to wear it 24/7, you don't want to have the belt compressing the same area for that many hours on end.

It's ultra firm, so my legs never leave a depression in it. I just lay a soft towel over it. It doesn't cut off my circulation.

You might try a Mueller 6753 - Adjustable Back and Abdominal Support. See http://muellerrx.com/adjustable-back-and-abdominal-support/

I'm the same way. Definitely worth the buy. It's very stretchy too. I got the XXL and it helps with back pain, and weight of my belly (now 6 months).

Compression. One of my favorites - very comfortable, like a sports bra. However, if you have large breasts it may not work for you.

I don't believe the sleeve mechanism on this support is intended for compression. This sleeve component is really only used to support and stabilize the shoulder. I recommend using the compression sleeve if you require muscle support, while this shoulder support provide the ortho/ shoulder stability.

That's up to you. For my clients that I train, I encourage them (as my trainer did when I first got one) to wear it all the time. Especially when you sleep and work out. The more you wear it, the more effect it will have. Consider also using a salve like Preparation H on your stomach underneath it as well.

It is not too firm...It melds into my body, so it gives me support, but is not stiff.

I'm a side and stomach sleeper. I think the pillow is fine for sleeping on your stomach. It has enough give to make it really comfortable and so far I have no problem doing so. I could not tell you about the high Loft or low loft, plush or firm, etc. my description is that the pillow is thick but has a good amount of give. I would not consider it to be firm but on the soft end.

I ordered large knee brace, and it fits very firm and tight on my knee (my normal pants size is extra small to small). I was thinking about buying the extra large brace too for not-so-tight compression of my knee. The quality of this brace is very good.

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

I copy directly from the box "20-30 mmHg Firm Support, Graduated Compression." I will not hesitate to purchase this brand again.

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.

It worked fine for me following a total hip replacement. It is very firm and five inches high.
