Could you use this as an undershirt? Would it be extremely noticable? Also is it hot/retain heat?

Yes, you could. It isn't as hot as I thought it would be. It is tighter than most t-shirts and I had get used to wearing it. You may have to wear it for a few short periods before trying to wear it all day.

The fabric is quite thin and can certainly be used in place of an undershirt. It would not be noticeable at all. My husband wore it before our hot weather hit, so I really don't know the answer to whether or not it retains heat. However, given the unqualified recommendation of athletes, I doubt it -- but I don't know.

Yes, you could, although there is a model that LOOKS more like a traditional undershirt. I haven't tried that model. And yes, heavy duty spandex, and it is very warm.

You can see the shirt a little under certain shirts. My son said it doesn't make him hot and he usually gets hot easily.

It's not evenly heated. I sent my back. It ruined quite a few shirts. Hope this helps.

The only thing that will make your babes hot is the heat! : ) it's a nice soft fabric. You can always put a light cloth over it ( like a pillow case) if you get worried.

My son loves his, and has been wearing it as an outer layer over other shirts (tees and turtle necks) this whole fall. I would think biggest issue might be getting too warm once you were indoors. That, and getting a size with some extra room for the layering.

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!

I think it would be warm for the dog to wear it for a long time. I think it is made out a thin fleece type of material. I have central air so it is not a problem for my dog, Lizzie. It does seem to work, although I have only had to use it a couple of times. My brother has two dogs and the thundershirt works for their dogs. It s

It's not too thick to be overly hot. It hangs pretty low on my queen size bed from side to side but I don't have it at the top to make it look better at the bottom. So i don't know how well it would fit a king.

i'm 5'10, 185-190 lbs and wear this in a large. i would say it runs true to size but also it is longer than your average shirt (like hanes or FOTL). it's good if you wear it as an undershirt, as it won't untuck nearly as easily as those other brands. it's a higher quality shirt, too, imo. the only other shirt i like as much is the hanes beefy T but those are a little more expensive.

I would not - the vibration is too strong/noise-y and they do not recommend that you have the heat against you for a long time. Not to mention, it's like a cushion, so it would be like trying to sleep on a little square cushion that is too loud and hot.

I have it underneath my daughter's regular cotton sheets and she's never been hot or complained of any discomfort. So far I have washed it twice and it's still looking like new. It is the same quality as a crib protective mattress pad.

I did not ever feel too hot using that product. If you weigh over 150 it might lose its resilience. I weigh 180 and it lost it's support and stayed out of shape.

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas so it gets pretty hot here, especially with humidity. It was pretty comfortable for me and I suspect it would be comfortable for anyone as long as they don't wear it while going commando and with an undershirt.

I put this cover on my child's mattress, because he has a cheaper mattress, however, he has had trouble laying down for his nap, and staying in bed, so lately, I'll lay down next to him for a while till he gets sleepy. Once or twice I've fallen asleep, and no it didn't get hot or even warm. It was very comfortable. But I haven't slept on it for an extended period of time. Sorry about the lengthy answer.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

Yes. I personally have concealed it under a fitted vest quite well, but not my blouse. It could, but it would definitely add maybe a couple of inches to your waist. The main consideration is the edges of the plastic plates will be very uncomfortable against your skin and will need some kind of cushioning, and it will make you sweat because your skin can't breath, so you will definitely need a vapor barrier. Maybe an undershirt? You will just have to experiment with it for comfort, but it isn't all that terribly bulky.

I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this. I personally have not slept on this, so I can't answer. I bought this for the futon, when we have overnighters staying. I haven't had any complaints that it makes you hot, though.
