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.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

I can't be sure but do know it's better than nothing. I almost think the compression may be too light.

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

This product is very firm. If you liked the "give" in the mesh and that was sufficient support, you might want to go with that. But if you felt you needed more support, this will hold up better over time.

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

Yes they are but not the kind of compression that requires 2 people to put on & off. I bought large just becaue I didn't want to deal with that & these really fit the bill, they give support, they give relief & best of all I can actually put them on myself & they don't cut off circulation @ the knee cap. I love them, they are not PRETTY, but they do the job & I would never take a long trip by car or plane without wearing them & they don't make your skin sweat or itch. Highly recommend

Yes, there are compression tubes. This is a very, comfortable and functional product!

Hi, Yes, the mattress is a great combination between firm and supportive. I hope this helped! I love this mattress, in my opinion this is one of the best mattress I have ever slept on! I will recommend this mattress to anyone who is looking for a great mattress at a great price.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

Yes, I do consider it firm. I've owned mine for a few months now and it's as firm as the day I got it. It is still comfortable and helps fill the space between my back and my leather chair where I needed added support.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

I would wear this shirt only while working out or performing physical exertion for a sustain period of time. The longest I have worn this style shirt was four hours. The compression pressure is more beneficial with the heart beating faster and/or all muscle groups engaged in activity. It has not not ridden up my waist but I have a flat muscular stomach. The size I wear is a small. My waist is 30 inches and chest 36.5 inches. I hope this helps.

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.

I'd agree that it is quite firm. It's not exactly soft. It is soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to support the body weight.
