The first thing to say about this is yes it works it holds your pants like a regular belt well made and quite strong but the problem i See if you make it tight enough to hold the pants (I've lost some weight so I have to tighten the belt otherwise my pants fall a lot) it connects to the 2 front belt loops, leaving one side is a hook, then it goes around the back and hooks the front loop of the belt on the other sides. If you look the belt loops are VERY tight. I mean, they fold backwards A LOT so I don't think they'll last more than a few months under that much stress. That means your front belt loops will snap so you'll get a new pair of pants or move your belt backwards have to, which makes it weird. While it's a good idea, I don't see it working long without breaking the loops. Maybe someone who hasn't lost weight or is wearing tighter pants, maybe it's not a big deal, I'm not sure but that's what I found out.
