Esteem Apparel Original Max Men's Slimming Chest & Body Shaper Compression Shirt

I rarely write reviews, but this product absolutely deserves one. I suffer from hormonal gynecomastia. I’m not overweight - in fact, I’m quite slim - which makes my condition much more noticeable. Over the years, I’ve tried several compression vests, but none of them delivered the results I was hoping for. This vest changed that. It has genuinely given me my confidence back. At first, I thought the price was a little steep, but after wearing it, I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. It has almost completely flattened my chest, and I now feel comfortable wearing clothes that I haven’t had the confidence to wear in years. If you have gynecomastia, I highly recommend giving this vest a try. You don’t need to be overweight for it to work effectively - I’m proof of that. It’s made a huge difference to both my appearance and my confidence.

Purchased for 14 year old grandson with gynaecomastia . He is very happy with this product. Fit is good and size was correct using the size guide. He pulls it up as advised And finds it easy to use . Fits well under his t-shirt and shirts.

I mean, it is not that bad, actually somewhat pretty good! (and not expensive either! High-Quality Bargain!). As long as you step into it, as instructed, then pull halfway up to your upper-chest & then put one arm in at a time, it is actually relatively easy to put on, and take off, by taking your arms out, one-by-one and then pushing it down your legs... It is not going to dramatically "change" your appearance/belly fat, but it will give a more "healthy-looking" shape to your usual physique, compared to without... It is especially good for people whom have already lost a lot of weight, far too quickly and have a lot of unsightly LOOSE SKIN, it is perfect for such scenarios... Just do not expect it to magically make you look like you have "lost" 50kg just by wearing it! I think that it is really good for confidence, as without it, you wish you were wearing it because it does make you more conscious of the difference and as long as you aspire to lose weight and not gain... it will give you that motivation to shed them extra pounds!.. Like I said before, if you have loose skin, this is perfect! But if you have a distended gastro/beer-belly, than don't be disappointed when it doesn't "magically" disappear... it still has to go somewhere!!! I would definitely recommend this product! It looks great, feels great and is somewhat discreet in the sense that it only looks like a vest / tank-top underneath more opaque/thin outer clothing; which if you are none-the-wiser, you just would NOT notice it as anything other than a stylish, expensive-looking undershirt / vest. High-quality product! I have used this for a good few months now and have not really noticed any distortion, warping or loss of elasticity/effectiveness, even after multiple washes of varying degrees of temperature/stretching over body to put on/take-off the garment... AND I literally ONLY OWN THIS ONE, I have NOT got any back-ups, or anything similar, I only have THIS and so far, I still do not feel the urge to buy a replacement OR back-up anytime soon!.. ***(EDIT)*** The reason that I decided to purchase this, is because I have been on a lot of really strong, potent medication for some years now and it has been causing a plethora of unwanted side-effects!.. To name a few... I experience a severe amount of bloating (seriously distended, hard stomach), which also causes hemorrhoids + constipation; I have noticed quite a steady rate of weight-gain, regardless of the amount of exercise & dieting I do (it seems like the more I try to control my weight, the more I gain?!)... I have tried every common method of treatment, with absolutely NO results whatsoever! I have been prescribed multiple times the standard doses + various forms of the similar treatments for each of the symptoms, to no avail... I have also tried every possible remedy + store & over-the-counter medicants, with absolutely NOTHING that works - I may have to have steroid injections and/or surgery to treat these particular symptoms as all other methods have been useless! I can 'suck'-in my stomach, which brings it back to it's very muscular shape (as I used to bodybuild, naturally and still keep up regular workouts/training) - but as soon as I 'let-go' relax, my gut makes me look like I am a 4-5 months pregnant male AND my stomach hurts + feels like it is about to explode from the extreme pressure when fully-relaxed! So, subconsciously, my body tends to keep my gut partially 'pulled-in' to automatically relieve the severe pressure & pain - which is not ideal, or good! This vest is somewhat helpful, but not totally, as my stomach is ridiculously hard & distended, not soft, loose skin/fat. (I suppose I may have a small amount of visceral fat behind my large abdominal muscle mass as I am not "fat" but very big 'muscularly' - I mean I am 163cm but built very wide and endomorphic). ***

I think I ordered the wrong one or the product has changed. Previously it was a netted material that would wick moisture very easily and remain comfortable and almost unable to tell I had it on. Even in 30+ degrees. This one however is a more opaque material with a sheen to it and isn't as good. It's also got a seam running through across the chest area that can sometimes go through a t-shirt and obvious you're wearing something underneath. I'd give it 3.5/5 whereas the other one was 5/5 and I had 3 which lasted me absolutely ages. Also the sizing is slightly off with this one (however it could be because it's new and needs to be broken in/washed) Time will tell but the L size I bought seems appropriate. Overall it's good, but if comparing to the other line, it's inferior by miles. The other was worth £20-25, this however could be placed in £10-15 bracket based on the differences. If you never wore one before, then this wouldn't be so bad but it also wouldn't motivate or inspire you to carry on wearing these.

Ordered a large and was a bit too small. Was contacted by the team and they sent me extra large super quick. Excellent service and great product.

Overall it does the trick and works pretty well. However, the quality of the stitches is rather poor. As you can see from the picture the stitches have come off across a rather significant portion of the fabric. Surprisingly, there is no option to send this to be fixed by the manufacturer. For the price, I would expect the finishing to be considerably better

I have just received the vest and I was a little bit sceptical about it and I am glad I took the gamble. It's not the easiest to get on and will take a bit of getting used to as it is very tight which is too be expected. Now don't get me wrong you don't put it on and look like you have been to the gym every day of your life, but it definitely pulls in your fat bits and makes you look slightly slimmer and helps to smooth out your lumps and bumps. I bought it for a night out and after putting on a lot of weight it had really impacted my confidence and I didn't feel good in anything that was slightly figure hugging and especially across my stomach (middle age spread has set in), but this has definitely given me a little bit more confidence for my night out (it's been years since I had a night out) and I will definitely be getting it in white. The size guide is correct and I was a bit unsure as I am a XL top normally and for my height and weight (5.10 & 234lbs) it recommended the large and glad I followed it and ordered the large. I will start wearing it next week and get used to wearing it before my night out in a couple of weeks as it's a bit strange wearing something so tight. If you are looking at this vest I really recommend ordering one as it is worth every penny and I never leave reviews but I had to for this vest and I really am a happy customer and look forward to ordering it in white when I have a bit of spare money.

Not really sturdy enough to have any effect. Might be useful if you have a tiny bit of excess fat, but otherwise pointless.

However, just take care of sizes, but overall quality is very good.

Also es trägt sich sehr gut, ist schön lang, so das man es in die Hose stecken kann und auch wenn man seine Arme hebt, rutscht es nicht aus der Hose, somit gibt es kein aufrollen und man hat anstatt einem Shirt einen BH an. Wirklich super angenehm zu tragen. Der Bauch und die Hüfte liegen sehr eng im Shirt, sodass man ein Hemd anziehen kann und alles fest sitzt. Zuerst dachte ich, oh nein xxl ist viel zu klein, das ist doch L und passt niemals, aber keine Sorge es passt perfekt und soll auch eng Anliegen. Nach ein paar Stunden tragen habe ich es garnicht mehr bemerkt. Ich hab schon gleich noch eins bestellt. Es rutscht definitiv nicht hoch. Absolute kaufempfehlung. Mein 3.es Shirt. Alles sehr schön straff.

Great product, my weight is 135 and my height is 192 and the size is M. It fits me very well. Follow the wearing instructions correctly. You will get used to wearing it. I feel the right look and the consistency of the clothes on my body

Comme dans la description.

He clicado donde no debia. Sigo con la opinión. Para reducir la barriga, pues bien, nada del otro mundo. La unica reducción es deporte, comer menos y mas sano, así viviremos más, pero se nos va a hacer laaaaargo. En cambio al menos en mi caso, la camiseta hace que deba poner la espalda recta, quiera o no, lo cual es muy positivo. Estoy encantado con ella, de tal forma que he comprado 3 mas. No se si al resto de compradores les ocurre los mismo, a mi me va de maravilla para la columna.
