I used to buy a lot of my clothes through king size direct or through the old casual male. I know KSD sells a few of these male support undergarments.
I always wondered about the male "girdles". I am getting the loose skin syndrome, but I don't think I would wear a girdle. I do wear compression shorts though, and it does make my things better, especially when I run.
I wonder if any guys wear them or have worn them?

I haven't lost enough to consider a "mirdle" yet, though I do wear the Under Armour compression shorts when I'm exercising and find that they are just right for me. I will probably continue to wear these right up to the point I have the excess skin removed.

I wear spandex shorts under my exercise shorts to keep the jiggling under control on my thighs. I also found compression shirts at Wal-Mart very cheap. I wear them when exercising too. I don't think I could wear them when I was not exercising, though. Seems it would be uncomfortable for daily wear. Maybe I'll try it this weekend to see.

As for the boydle...just not sure. I'm more embarrassed by the excess chest skin than the abdomen, so if I pulled in the abdomen, it would probably make the chest skin look worse.

I was a regular customer of Casual Male. Great store. It was one place where I did not feel freakishly big. Sure is nice to not feel that way anywhere now!
