I had bought the 997 double front compression, the Tri Top, and compression shorts. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me get in the 997 (ordered it too small, ugh x.x). So I will be reviewing the other two products I bought.

Let me tell you, when I first opened the package, I was VERY nervous about getting it on. Being unsure if I had picked out the right size, I just plunged into each garment. The Tri Top was a struggle to get on, but I managed to get it on over my head (there was no way it would fit around my hips lol). And OMG... I immediately fell in LOVE. The Tri Top, best thing that ever happened to me. It fits PERFECT. And the compression power, WOW! Here are some comparison photos:

Holy crap the compression is AMAZING. I HAVE MAN PECS NOW YES!!! *happy dance* Not to mention it's so comfortable! I can BREATHE IN IT!! I don't find the seams digging in either, it's awesome. The only peeve I have about it is the back rolls up a TINY bit (like less than an inch), but I think I can easily solve that by folding an inch of the bottom under and up. All in all, I give the Tri Top a 4.5/5

Now onto the compression shorts... Well, they seem to be made of a different material than the ultimate compression of the tri top/double front. The shorts feel silky and smooth. I tried them on, no problems at all getting in them (although this worries me that because they are easy to get in, possible little-to-no compression). They /are/ comfortable and breathable, I'll give them that. But I don't think they've given the illusion of smaller hips at all, which disappoints me. My hips/butt may appear to be 1-2 inches smaller, but that's the only difference I notice. If you're looking to buy these supposed 'compression' shorts to make your hips appear smaller, don't waste your money. Well, since I can't return bottoms (dang it), might as well put them to use. Score 2/5


I love the Tri Top so much, I'm thinking of just exchanging the 'too small 997' I ordered and getting a black Tri Top in the same size instead. =3 *hugs Tri Top*

That looks great, what a difference.

Yeah man, lookin' great! 

The tri top is indeed the greatest thing Underworks ever invented.

Whoa, nice! And it's comfy and breathable, too? That's pretty fantastic!

Good to hear at least one of the things you ordered worked out as you hoped for. 83

I'm glad I didn't go a size smaller than the size recommended, or it probably would have been very uncomfortable. XD;;

I just got my new tri top too, and its soo much better than the 997 so far.  Although i did nearly pop out my shoulder getting it on.... have to be more careful about that.  Pretty comfortable once it was on and pulled on.  My stretched out 997 feels loose in comparison now.
