I bought this after a friend recommended it because she liked it very much. I've always hated belts because the buckle always felt awkward and I always felt like there was a gap between the notches. This belt is so minimalist you'll forget you're wearing it, yet it's durable enough to get the job done. I was concerned that the "buckle" could easily come loose, but that never happened. I love the sticky backing that keeps it in place and it's 100% adjustable to the length you want. I came to write a review because I've had it for 6 months now and I'm so happy with it that I felt I had to up the rating. I just saw in the description that the plastic is a recycled material which I don't remember when I bought it but I like that even more.
