I've reached the age of over 65 where physical activity is restricted for health reasons, so it's a little difficult to control your stomach even if you 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.
