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!

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.

It will help if used daily. Get an ab belt back support. They really shed the pooch and cost around 12 dollars. I wear mine all day and noticed I'm slimmer. Doing ab workout would be beneficial too. Don't rely on one thing to solve the problem.

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.

Rian, the more I think of it, if I were you and wanted to do some exercises to get in better shape before joining a gym I'd work on basic pushups, free squats, crunches, walking/running/biking and not these straps. They are more advanced than the ones I just mentioned. Using these straps takes more balance and they are harder than just normal pushups, etc.

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.

Around the 2 hr mark I started to have some discomfort, I was using them during workouts which last about 90 min and I was fine. On the walk back I started some mild discomfort. They were great during the workout though.

Yes, it's working for me. I run everyday and was looking for items to help target my midsection. I read the other customer reviews and decided to try it. The belt is extremely well made. None of the seams or velcro are coming loose, and I've been using it each day for a few months. And it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Running, when wearing the belt, my midsection begins to sweat before any other area. The belt absorbs all of the sweat, it doesn't drip or soak through. Also, it dries very quickly. I get better results wearing the Ab Belt versus not. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

Kim, I am not a doctor, but have had lower back pain off and on for years. I am very active and excise every day with both walking and exercise bike. Also do strength training. I use the back brace only when I have a flare up of pain. Suspect that frequent use of the back brace would tend to weaken you stomach muscles because the brace lessens the sole dependence on these muscles. Just my opinion and hope it helps you.

Slowly, I have firmed up and my waist is slimming. I am wheelchair bound with mid section paralysis. It is slow but it seems to be working. You will need patience, exercise, and appropriate diet. Belly Buster gives me energy, lessens my desire to eat, and does not upset my system.

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.

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.

I workout with them. Very secure. Never had a problem with slipping off. I don't jog though

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

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.
