This does what I wanted but is VERY stretchy. So much so that the belt's job almost doesn't get done. My pants sag a bit to be uncomfortable and I have to adjust. I think it could use a little less stretch as a lot of bending and twisting will eventually loosen its hold. I wanted the belt to buckle in the front because the end of a regular belt always slips out of the holes and dangles, which is very annoying. I love the idea behind this product, I just feel like a less stretchy, stronger material would work better.
