Need some advice.  Over the past 9 months I have lost over 200 lbs.   Good for me, bad for loose skin.  I am in need of compression cloths, but have no idea where to start.  Can someone point me in the right direction.  I have "stuff" flapping everywhere, and it is real annoying.

 Others probably use some name brand stuff, I bought some tops from here and they work pretty well holding me together, more than the standard compression stuff from the big name guys:

Most of my compression clothing is from Under Armour. They are pretty cheap and you can get it at Wal-mart, I'm told. (I get mine from Sports Basement, a local chain.)

Walmart carries Starter brand (Under armour knock-off) and it works for me.
Having gotten involved in HS football and basketball officiating, the officials clothing sites (purchaseofficial.com, getofficial.com, honig.com, and numerous others) carry a good array of compressin and sweat-wicking shirts and shorts also.  I like the shorts that come up higher so they hold my stomach/lower ab flab and that is suppported by a stretchy shirt that comes down and they overlap.  So Walmart is a cheaper alternative. But there are options.

I have found that you get what you pay for. When I bought the Walmart stuff, I didn't wear it more than a few times. The mid priced champion stuff was okay but didn't last very long. The Nike and the Under Armor were the most expensive but are the best quality.

200 lbs in 9 months? Wow, way to go!! I just got an UnderArmour shirt through eBay, you could probably save some money that way.

TJ Maxx and Marshall's carry Under Armor and are cheaper than getting it at big department stores.  They also carry Nike, Reebok, New Balance & Spyder which some times have compression stuff as well.

I go to an Under Armor Outlet now and buy all my stuff there - it's easier than searching around for exactly what I want.
