Girp6 belts are a great idea but it's not for anyone with a 'beer belly' and no backside! They only work for trim men and women with a flat belly and a nice behind. As you wear the belt, the belt material stretches a little everyday. You find yourself tightening the belt as it stretches. With a overhanging belly, it is very difficult to make the adjustment because you must jam your fingers behind the belt to pull at the free end. At the end of the day, the cuticles of the fingers used pull the free end repeatedly, get torn begin to bleed. The cuticles becomes really torn up especially in an office where the humidity is really low. The other drawback is that when the belt stretches, the free end, tucked behind the belt, begins to protrude, in an unsightly manner, from behind the belt. I dearly wanted the Grip6 belt to work for me. I tried two different belts, one from Amazon and one directly from Grip6; both had the same issues. I returned both and was promptly refunded. No hassles!
