I've been wearing this belt for a week now, no problems. I've been wearing another brand for 2 years that I'm very happy with except it's had 2 falls. #1 It will stick to anything once you take it off. #2 it would ruin the shirt a bit where it lay. This rubber creature doesn't stick anywhere when not in use and doesn't stain my shirts anymore. It's thicker, but I wear jeans 90% of the time, so I didn't notice any extra bulk. 1 so. I have something that is a little hard to close. For the rest I'm happy with that.
