It is not comfortable if your stomach doesn't fit the belt

It is not comfortable if your stomach doesn't fit the belt, because the velcro straps rubs around the back area to much

Not for thin people. It has a limit of how thin it can get. Otherwise it's falling off of your waist.

add said fits up to a 34 inch waist, satisfaction guaranteed, all the "good" ad words. I have a 32 inch waist. looking to get back to a 30, so I ordered one.  This belt does not contour at all and does not take into consideration hip or ribs Therefore is very uncomfortable. I did contact customer service and their comment was "Did you measure the belt?"  Not a comfortable unit and not happy with the company.

The arms are tight and uncomfortable around the armpit area, and it is difficult to use the restroom. having to undress is not good. Otherwise it does slim you very well.

First, it's a quality belt flawed by its design.  They put the Velcro all the way to the end of the belt, so no matter the size you will have to feed Velcro through the D-Ring and thus the buckle will never sit flat.  This is not only a comfortability thing, it's a SAFETY thing as well.  The way these work is as your Bodyweight pulls on the belt while under load and it thightens up preventing the belt from coming undone (and you falling to your death).  Because the Velcro is under the point where it's sitting on the D-Ring (Buckle) "pinch point" it doesn't really tighten on itself very well.  You have to be pretty stupid not to understand this concept, and I have a feeling the makers of this belt are "mall ninjas" and not the type who use these in the field.  It's not a gun belt but if you read the description you would know that alread, so those complaining it's not rigid are idiots themselves.  It's not double lined so it won't be as stiff as their other more rigid belts however, that's not what I was looking for and if you carry IWB it will have zero issues.  The fix is very easy:  remove the first few inches of Velcro (the non scratchy part,  so the the Velcro that goes all the way around the belt) close to the D Ring (buckle) as I have shown in the photos!

Sizing:  I wear a 33/34 waist jeans (Levi/Lucky Brands) which are fitted but that's how I like them as I hate ghetto baggy.  If I want to IWB, I wear a 35/36 waist.  My ACTUAL measured waist with a cloth tape measure is 39-40" depending on the day (how much water & salt I have had the previous day.). The large is a perfect fit with about 8" of tail for the Velcro part of the belt to secure.  This is the minimum amount you want for it to safely secure you under load when using it as an actual riggers belt.  It's normally 8"-12" of slack recommended.  I have put on about 15lbs which I need to lose (currently 6'6" and 205lbs) however my waist size hasn't really changed as I still fit into my jeans; maybe an inch at most.  If I lose the weight, I expect to get at most another inch of overhang (9" at that point) so still in the ideal range.  I would like to see more of the scratchy Velcro part too as it's only about 5.5" and should be the full 8" (minimum, 12" maximum needed).

Obviously the belt wasn't made by professionals for actual rigging, just emergency situations where your dead if you don't so why not at least try.  Blackhawk's rigger belt used to be diecent but is now total garbage as the quality control (and now cheaper materials) have suffered due to corporate greed.  I would put this belt on par with Blackhawks old belts (which were/are made in Vietnam, but again used to be better quality).

Lastly, it goes on backwards, with the belt being fed right to left, instead of the usual go through the left side and wrap around to the right, like every other belt I have warn.  The belt feels like it was made by a left handed mentally deficient mall ninja.  It is however "doable" and again pretty good quality overall.

If they fixed the design flaws the belt would be worth about $50 which is what they are asking.  I'm sure they will steal these ideas, then charge me again for the fixed version.  I left government work and started a consulting company, only to find these greedy companies love my ideas but never want to pay.  Having your ideas and product suggestions stolen is bad enough, but having them be so greedy they won't even send you the updated one for free is pure disgusting establishment greed.  Typical.  Welcome to Obama/Post-Obama era America.

With a thick belt it is a real struggle to get on. Once on it is comfortable and forget it is there.

I like this but it's not wide enough for my stomach. I don't think I'm huge but I think it's made for a lot smaller person and what is the point of that if it's to make you lose belly fat.

The belt doesn't fit at all. It kind of goes up to the navel. It looks weird. On a bright side, the fabric is smooth.

It make you sweat yes , but its very elastic while you wearing it not really holding your abdomen still look like you have a belly .
I would say it really depend what you do with it and what you need out of it and .

If you're a little rotund, especially around the belly, this may not be cut to your liking.

On the other hand, it might drive you to workout a lot more, so that it would someday be cut to your liking.

I think it's ok.

The leg and foot parts are ok and works, but the belly part is waaaay too small, and I had to cut it open so that I don't feel like this panthose is squeezing my baby out. But after that, it doesn't stay well, and after sitting or walking for a while, it slips down wildly and I had to go to the bathroom frequently to pull it back up in place. This bothers me a lot! In generall it is a good product for providing just right compression, but for maternity purposes, I'd give it one star at most.

First of all, the site I bought this from did NOT advertise this as a men's belt. If it had, I could have saved myself some money and hassle, because this thing, even tightened to its max, does not fit a woman with a 26" waist/32" hips and probably wouldn't fit a skinny guy, either.

Even if it fits you fine (and I held it tightly around my waist to test this), when running, the thing will bounce around like nobody's business, especially if the bottle is full. In that, it's more like a fanny pack than a running belt. Unfortunately, by the time I'd filled the bottle for this test (with water, and I didn't drink from it) I felt guilty returning it. So I'm going to try to rig it to my dog's harness so he can carry water, too.

All that said, I loved the soft flask and I'm going to try the handheld version instead. Hoping for better - I hear summers in DC are brutal compared to San Francisco. :(

I find that the inserts are an inconvenience when I unclip to feed baby, its just very uncomfortable since the padding is pretty much in the way. It is also not true to size. I ordered a month before my due date so that it can be a comfortable size for me since I had gained more weight than I should and at that time, I was a 36B so I ordered a Medium and the band size was pretty tight and caused me to have plugged ducts, so I stopped wearing it. I just tried it on again, even after 4 months postpartum, its a little snug.. I am currently 127 lbs, 5'5", 34B.

The belt buckle pokes my belly which gets pretty annoying after a while, the material starts to wear after a pretty short period of time and looks really bad, don't buy this belt

I like the quality and the comfortable fit of the belt. It isn't too big nor is it too small.
I ordered a small. If I had to guess I would say that the small (top) part of my waist was about 26 in. and the lower belly about 28 in. I have easily dropped 2 in. In less than. 2 weeks by incorporating the belt with diet and exercise along with my homemade potion. Sweat literally runs down by belly during and after exercising. Photo from a month ago where I was not happy with my belly. Dont judge, This journey ia about me. It may be small belly already but I don't like having any pouch look in my belly. And controlling it now before it takes over is my choice!!!!

This shape wear is tight! It does smooth everything out but it is not comfortable. I thought the high waist would smooth out the midsection but it  digs in and is very uncomfortable to wear, especially when sitting.
