Nothing I hate more than my uniform shirt slipping over my duty belt. This rubber belt was definitely effective in preventing infection. Bought because our new uniform pants don't have an elastic waistband like the previous ones. I ordered in January and in October I had to order a replacement. There may be too many holes in it because the rubber between them will tear and get out of control. A large piece broke off 2 months ago and now it barely fits. Hoping to get through the next few layers before it arrives.
