This is my fourth Jasgood belt. I was losing weight (from 40" to 33") and needed a belt that I didn't have to constantly punch more holes in. The first ones I ordered were two packs. I cut my hair to fit and found it difficult to pull it tight enough when I was putting on my big jeans. Leaving the strap long gives me enough of it to grab a firm hold. Loved the elastic loop holders to keep the long strap from dangling and ordered extra loops as they are easy to lose. I now have 4 different colors of these wonderful belts.
