**Update**The belt is now falling apart and the loops are also breaking at the seams. Will not buy again and will find another brand to buy. ------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------------------- -------------- ------------------------ My CTM elastic waistband is the best belt in my closet. All of my other straps become uncomfortable or feel very stiff after a few hours. This elastic waistband is very light and easy to adjust whether you're on an empty stomach or a full stomach. No one likes it when you go to a BBQ/chicken flavored family gathering and after a few plates find your belt is on the last loop. You can't adjust the strap anymore so it's ok lol. Well, this elastic waistband can accommodate a full stomach after you've had too much fun. The belt looks sleek and strong and the stitching isn't unraveling yet. There aren't any specific places to tighten the belt, so I love that you can adjust it to your liking. Will buy more flowers.
