Can you wear this if you're not post-partum, but just needing some support while losing weight?

I am not a medical professional. Figured I would state that. The garment provides support for anyone going down in size. Both post partum and lifestyle changing.

I would certainly keep wearing this after loosing the baby weight. It makes for a great retainer of all things flabby. Haha.

I use this belt to support my abdomen and back, and it is great for that. I see no indication that it will help with serious weight loss; I do sweat somewhat when wearing it, but do not lose weight. Doubt it would help with weight loss.

I don't see why not - though if you move around a lot or sleep on your side/stomach, they may shift or come off. I didn't wear them for extended periods of time, but as long as you're not using the ventilated shell for milk collection you should be fine.

No, just the shirt. I'm pretty busty and wear a regular sports bra under with swim bottoms and that works well for support. I wouldn't wear alone because it wouldn't leave much to the imagination when wet.

I only wear while walking or working out and it is quite comfortable. It doesn't breath well due to the neoprene so I wouldn't want to wear all day.

It says you can wear it against the skin....however I choose to wear it over a fitted tank top or shirt...I wear it mostly at night....really tight...and when I wake up my shirt is damp....you are supposed to wear it while you work out or move. I have to say that if you choose to wear it against the skin you will sweat and you will have to wash it...and watch out for the Velcro which does snag some materials.

I never wore it at night. I really don't think that would be necessary since you're not using those muscles while laying down.

I would say that yes, if you are of a medium build, you could wear it discreetly under a shirt. Amazon has a very liberal return policy, so you can easily return it if it doesn't work out for you.

No you cannot wear this device under clothing......The weights are much too bulky.

Not really, if you get the right size. I got a small one first and had to return it for a medium. It is unbelievably supportive; after trying two other brands, I was skeptical. But, it really really works. I definitely recommend purchasing one.

Yes, you can wear it while exercising but it may not be very comfortable after a half hour or more and you will want to be careful that it stays in place and doesn't go flying off since it is not designed for such. It takes constant readings -- showing your heart rate as well as your oxygen/blood saturation level.

If you wore a loose shirt or tunic over it, you probably could wear it at work! It might feel bulky though; you could always wear it for part of the day and take it off :^)

I am 5'3.5 and was size 6 pre-pregnancy, and this band worked well for me. It is just a basic elastic band. Sometimes I had to wear it more at an angle - higher on the small of my back and come down to the bottom of my belly for best support, but it worked!

Yes you can wear it under your normal clothes. You might look like you gained a few lbs but if you wear a loose fitting dark shirt it will help. Some of the other Mueller back supports are better from an appearance basis.

I would think this support is only to be used while being active... leaving it on for a lone time may cut off your circulation to your lower part of your arm... If you wear these kind of supports for a long time your lower arm gets a funny feeling... probably restricting blood flow... I use mine to protect for a partially torn tendon in my elbow.... just for support.

I personally didn't wear it at night because I felt my body just needed a break from compressions stockings and the extra support but I don't see why you couldn't if you are feeling like it's helping and if you are comfortable enough in it. I found it to be a huge help and was even able to stop wearing it after about 7.5 months of pregnancy. Hope this helps!

Not really.. It aids in muscle support following a surgery or pregnancy. It won't make you lose weight on its own.
