You get three straps, so to speak, but really only one buckle that has to be removed from the strap it is attached to and glued to the other. So you can only use one at a time. I wasn't aware that this was the case. I suppose if I had read more closely I might have spotted it. Also, the straps are too long for the intended size. For example, I ordered the 36" straps, which easily fit a 42" waist, meaning the extra strap goes almost halfway again.
