Thank you! I will check these out! Yea, I still have a lot of boobies left lol so that makes it hard too and puts extra strain on my back. So I am thinking I need something a little extra for them too LOL

 I wear and swear by compression gear.  For me there are multiple benefits aside from just holding it all in.  It also keeps a lot of chafing from happening on the longer runs and rides, and more importantly, it provides a lot of back support.  When I do a long ride without the gear my back is aching much worse than when I wear it.  


I get mine, though I think its more dude oriented, from http://www.easyliving100.com/servlet/StoreFront

Thank you! =) I will take a look at these! Do they help with muscle soreness too? I am ALWAYS stiff unless I take like 2 days off..

I just let mine flop. One time I got into a nice rhythm and there was a good beat going. I don't attribute my back pain to the extra although maybe I should.

LMAO! Yea mine makes an interesting beat too. Gives a whole new meaning to "beating to your own drum" lol (or however that saying goes, I am too cold to think straight right now) =)

Pretty much same advice here... cycling I haven't needed compression at all, but as soon as I started running it was a must do for my roll in the middle.

I have noticed that when I am spinning I hear a flopping sound too but I don't know if it's my chest or my stomach lol!

Mine flaps worse on the bike! Well, it's not my panus that flaps. It's this bit of skin above my belly button. Flap, flap, flap.

Like everyone else, I use compression gear to help reign things in.

Like others I wear compression garments both tops and bottoms.  I wear as tight as I can and still breathe comfortably. Kohls always has them onsale for like have of what UA sells them for.
