Oh my god they are addictive! Well I decided to buy one of these belts to test it out. I took my original waste size and added 4 - just to make sure it was big enough. It was literally perfect because either way this belt is stretchy/stretchy and the belt clip goes through any part of the belt you want! Super comfortable, inexpensive and durable. I love it. My only negative feedback is the delivery time. I received free shipping which took a total of 9 days (still within the 'arrival time frame' but I was hoping as a core member it would have been sooner). That being said, I called Belts.Com directly to find out where they are (also in California, like me) so I bought a ton more from them straight away. I absolutely recommend this belt for all ages and all genders. Incredibly happy.
