Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone out there knew about a good men's body shaper.  After DS and 250lbs of loss lets just say as we all know the skin needs to be tightened.  Anyone know of a good comfortable men's body shaper out there that works for men?  I mean I don' t know about wearing a womens I'm not really interested in cutting off the circulation to the boys since I really can't stand briefs and usually wear boxer-briefs. Thanks,

Its just me, only a little smaller.

Here you go.  It will keep everything nice and tight and looks great under a suit! http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear/Wet-Suits.html Actually, what I have heard a lot of people here do is wear the Under Armor.  My two big issues are the upper thy and for that I use a compression short when I run.  I don't find them to be to constricting.  I am also a boxer brief guy.  I only have one pair of actual Under Armor.  I usually get what's on sale.  I have used Champion, Nike, and Walmart brand also.  You can find them in sports clothing stores. My other issue is my pannus.  It just flops around when I run.  I have not found something that is comfortable for that yet.  There are compression shirts available also.

Scott was right about the UnderArmor type garments.  I wear a sleeveless compression top and compression shorts when I run, lift weights, swim and bike.

Ok, dumb question time. If you don't mind me asking, what do you wear under the compression shorts when you run and workout? I have seen some that say they have a built in jock in them and others are just the shorts. 8 days to go!

I wear absolutely nothing under them.  You don't need to.  They 'compress' so nothing, including bill and the twins, flops around.  I guess you could wear a jock strap under them but it would be overkill.

I am a firm believer in Under Armour. I wear UA every day. I have the comression shirts and shorts. I where boxer briefs also. What I do is wear the UA shorts under and then the boxer briefs on top, then the clothes. Also the same on the tops, UA, undershirts, then shirt. It does get a little warm sometime, but well worth it.
The UA are expensive, but they last. I have had the issue with other brands - Nike, Champion, etc loosing their elasticity (sp?). I spend the extra so it lasts longer.
I also buy them on sale. I have got some WILD colors for next to nothing. Hence the reason for the stacking of the clothes!!!
Good luck. Also check the online store for clearence stuff - www.underarmour.com

I recommend the Under Armour as well. I had a tummy tuck last month and needed to find some compression garments. All the women talked about Spanx and there was no way I was going to wear women's. I bought Under Armour shorts and shirt and they have been great
