Has anyone found and loved compression underwear? I'm looking for something that is bikini (or traditional underwear) cut, not shorts and something designed for fitness, not shapewear.

I saw a couple pairs recently at Eastern Mountain Sports, but there didn't seem to be my size so I didn't dig in or even remember a brand.

Oh the glamorous lives we lead after 145+lbs of WL right?

I'm looking into this and it seems like you want to be looking for things called spankies, racing briefs, and bun huggers.

Well, pretty awesome nicknames I guess I was hoping someone could say "Yes! These are awesome" because I don't know if what the general population is using them for is the same as what I need after MWL.

I am still looking around. I feel like I've seen what you're asking about before. It's just a matter of finding it again! You might try posting in the exercise forum if you haven't already?

Would they be for wearing under something?

If only it was my lower abdomen that needed girdling (is that a word?)

I don't think you'll find compression bikini as there isn't enough material to compress anything. I wear athletic underwear made by puma, adidas etc... I love it. Find it at TJ Maxx usually.

If you want it for working out, the have compression leggings and shorts. Honestly Targets line is great. You can order online. And they are always putting it on sale.
