Is There A Product For Abdomen Reduction?

I m looking for a comfortable stomach/abdominal product that my son can wear while sleeping. he is quite overweight and does walk on treadmill for 1 hr. every day, but the large abdomen persists...he wants something non-binding and comfortable to wear while sleeping.

Abdominal binders are available in the market. You should be able to get one from your local pharmacy.
However it will serve no purpose to your son and actually it could get quite uncomfortable while sleeping.
I hope you understand that it also will not assist in whatsoever way as far as reducing weight is concerned.
I would advise you to consult an obesity expert or a dietitian who can make an appropriate diet and exercise plan to help him in reducing weight.
