I've reached the age of 65 where I have limited mobility due to health issues, so it's a bit difficult for me to control my stomach, even if I watch what you eat. I found myself wearing suspenders that didn't get in my way around the house or business. However, when I visit friends and family, I prefer to wear a belt. If you eat a little, you need to loosen the belt. This is the perfect alternative to your standard belt or suspenders and is much more comfortable.
