I've gained some weight in the last year and I'm 91-91cm tall depending on whether the brand wants to make me feel good or not. Going up a size (for an accurate belt size) should have led me to reasonable use of this belt based on the description, which sounded like it would fit a 40" waist (42" belt size). I did not "pull out" the belt when putting it on. It was snug but not cramped; It felt exactly like a belt should and clicked perfectly into place without stretching to the point of tension in the fabric. At first I thought I would like it because it didn't have a buckle. However, it put too much pressure on my pelvic area when I walked and caused me some pain/tightness. Men with a 30-32 inch waist may not be affected as they are too loose, but based on my experience I would not recommend this for anyone over 34 inches.
