Does anyone know where to get a decent abdominal binder (solely for cosmetic reasons). Have tried a couple of different ones but they seemed to make little difference

I got mine at a clothing store. You can usually find them at any clothing store in the womens lingerie section.

Try these http://www.opposuppo...abdominal.html# I use the 1060 - last for ages - especially if you firm them up by putting them through the tumble drier now and again. They have both stockists and online suppliers - although you have to email them for the details of the latter. I'm trying to remember the contact details and will post it if it wanders into my brain

They definitely make a difference! It keeps those organs pushed in where they belong.
If you don't try, you fail.
