So I really liked this belt. First. It's comfortable to wear and stretches so as you get bigger this belt will be great after 4 months of ownership and this thing is useless. The equivalent of a drawstring around my waist, if not worse. I keep pulling my pants up or pulling them up because that thing just doesn't work. In my case I lost weight and it doesn't seem to stretch back after stretching. Now that I'm wearing it, I have a feeling that a shoelace would work better as a belt. It keeps my pants from sliding down completely, but it doesn't really do more than ONLY support my pants. For the price, I think there are better ones on the market
