As someone who likes to work out in the gym - including lifting weights - I put alot of strains on my 63 year old body. In addition, I am eight years out from major abdominal surgery and my exercise caused an internal rupture to the incision within the first year. I tried many solutions but initially all I could find were separate compression shorts and tops that curled or rode up or down and thus were not satisfactory. Then I found Underworks Compression Tanksuit and for years now my problem has been solved. I even slip it on when doing household work (like painting) that involves alot of standing, bending, and stooping. It works like charm.
