| |  Ladies...sites, sensors and "spanks"
So spanks are these wonderful non-girdle like things that suck it all in, smooth it, shape it etc. Exceptionally great for reunions, holiday parties and such. Problem is we aren't supposed to wear our sites where they get pressure from clothing, so do you think these count? If you have any idea, let me know...last time I called Mini-Med with a question regarding my mamogram I got a younger male who had to go ask someone else. Would rather hear from someone who wears a pump. Thanks!!

| | Heh, I think it's fine.  Occasionally I wear spandex leggings and they're rather tight, my sets are fine.

| | | I would try it also. I have no problem with tighter levis. The only time I run into trouble is if it is on a waistband where it rubs. Compression should not cause much of an issue.

| | | As long as the waistband does not rub my set, I dont have any
problem. I try to plan what I am wearing if I can when I change my set, so it is in a good location. Since I can now use my arm for some sites, it makes it alot easier.
On a side note, I got one of those Kymaro Shape and Slim, that is advertised on the tv info commercials, it smoothed me out some , but I did not go down a size. It is comfortable and I think the top part might help my back since it helps with posture. |

| | | I wore "spanks" too, a slip (wonderful invention!!) and I've been fine. Same with undies. No problems. I think because it's an even pressure and not like a belted waistband, it's OK. |

I prefer to wear form fitting shirts and blouses. I've never had any problems with pressure on sets in the abdomen area.
