Undergarments for loose skin?

There are old posts that I found, but they are like 10 years old. I have Spanx that I have been wearing under dresses and I'm wondering if anyone has other products they have used they like. I'll be going to Europe in June for 3 weeks and know I will be walking a ton and want to make sure I don't get rashes from skin rubbing. I've got belly skin, "apron" skin, and leg skin. It's going to be warm and I'm also wondering if there are any lightweight/cooler options than Spanx as well.

I like the Flexees brand. They have different styles and "strengths" from which to choose. I buy them a couple of sizes too big; that way it helps keep everything held in, but I can breathe and don't feel like I'm going to pass out.

I have found them at Kohl's and Target. I think Wal Mart sells them too, but I'm not 100% on that.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Look for "compression" garments marketed towards athletes, especially knee-length shorts. They're moisture-wicking, and they're great at helping you stay cool!

I buy mine at the local sporting goods store, and sometimes they have them at Ross. Check the men's department as well as the ladies' section!

Whatever you use for compression, use lots of gold bond powder!

It looks like LIPO IN A BOX is going out of business.

Well Hells Bells! I guess I won't suggest that product again. Would this be too warm for you in the summer?

Maybe - need to see what already have.

I have several in black and a few in beige that I havent worn all winter - time to dig them out and see. I really did not need them until the surg I had last summer and then I had the iron-laced post op garments. I go back to see Dr Michaels in a few weeks - he, or his staff, usually have the info on all the garments.
