My wife actually asked me to buy these for her as she was tired of strugging with jeans that were too loose around the waist; on arrival they seemed well made and were easy enough to attach to the belt loops of a pair of jeans, and certianly did the job well enough to keep her happy! Unfortunately however, after a few uses one of them started to pull apart - I should add at this point that this wasn't due to excessive stretching of the product, in fact they were still relatively loose. It hasn't actually come apart and still functions after a bit of judicious sewing on the part of my wife however I've had to only give 3 stars as a result.
