Do I wear it alone or with something underneath to help absorb the sweat,-- if so do I need to order a size larger then ? Thanks!

I would suggest wearing a wife beater or a really thin shirt so that your sweat gets soaked up.

You can wear it alone or with a simple tank top underneath.. If you're a small order a medium if medium than large. It has to be a size larger because it will be skin tight. I only had to use it for a month and half , I've lost 25-30 pounds. You're welcome!

Order the size you need, nothing larger. I do wear a fitted tee-shirt underneath to help catch some of the sweat and so I won't feel so yucky. :). You will sweat :)

I agree, you need a large. I am female size 81/2 and feel that a large for me would have been better because of circulation. I use s/m but limit my keep on time. It really works.

We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete. I am busty but could probably wear the L, but I like the looseness (and its cheaper just to share the ones we have) Tight when working out is uncomfortable for me. We actually haven't opened the 5XL yet. My husband is a 3XLT, so to accommodate for liking it loose we ordered two sizes larger. They definitely make you sweat. Best to take off outdoors when you're done with your workout.I just noticed the reply below about the ripping/tearing. We've only had to replace ONE suit and I wash after every work out. I wash, use downy on the rinse cycle, and then hang to dry. We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete.

I wear it over a light shirt, but under a jacket or sweater because I had read reviews that said it can irritate the skin if worn under a shirt. It is elastic, but it's not so firm that it would cut into the skin unless perhaps you wore it all day. The manufacturer recommends wearing it for short periods of time, and I think that is good advice. It's not meant for wearing during very active times either, in my opinion. I also don't think it would look very good under just a shirt unless you have no back fat at all!

Hello Anastacia! Well I wear a size 6-8 so I purchased a small. Mind you, I wear my shorts over my tights/leggings during workouts because if you go to the gym I looks gross with sweat flowing down your legs. If I were you i'd buy a large if you wear a 16. Hope that helps

Hi and yes - I wear this while running and am very comfortable when doing so. Colder than 45 degrees, I wear this over a dri fit long sleeve shirt over a tee shirt. A few miles into the run, I may have to unzip a bit (when weather closer to 45) and if it warms up, I've taken off and tied around my waist to complete my run - it's very light and lends itself to this well. It's been a great buy for me.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

I wear mine for working out and I just make sure I wipe them off after with alcohol free wet wipes and then dry them. Unless you sweat an unnatural amount you should be fine.

I wear mine under my helment and it does fit more snug because of the sweatband but it keeps my head so much cooler.

Only have worn it for 1 hour during workout. It will get wet but not a wet feeling under as I wear it tight.

Yes, it sweats if you put ice water in it. I bought a neoprene water bottle sleeve to put over it...problem solved! :)

I am the same size! I bought a medium for versatility - there are times where you will want to wear this under your clothing, and times where you may want to wear it over your clothing. I hope this helps!

I wear mine underneath clothing without a problem. I don't have directly on my skin though, I wear a T-shirt or Termal top and then put the Body Rite on over it. Love this this thing to bad I did not find this years ago. Best 30 Bucks I ever spent!

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

Yes I do. I also wear inner's. Because you sweat a lot in it. If you don't all the sweat will be dripping down from your body. The inner's soak all the sweat.

If you can, get an X-large they have it (not sure that they do). Even then, I suspect it will be too tight. I got a large and I am a 40C. Could not wear it. I did manage to get it on, but it painfully cut into my underarms and under bra area, and my shoulders were still rolling forward.

I wear them next to the skin as the band cause the skin area to sweat a lot and give it circulation. So you can wear anything over it. I have worn shorts in summer. Now I wear them under my pants.
