HIKERSOriginal Hidden Suspenders for Men Under Clothes - Button Fly

Suspenders. Yikes! I feel rediculous even saying it, but the status quo was unacceptable. I have a round figure and everytime I get up I had to pull my pants up. When I would life something or carry something, I ran the risk of my pants falling unless I was careful about how I moved. You get used to it. You learn to be careful. I didn't even realize how much of my mental focus went into that until i started wearing Hikers.The benefits were immediate and extraordinary, even though I ordered one that was too large for me because I just assume I should get large versions of everything and didn't bother measuring. So these are not as perfect as they could be, but they are still a massive improvement. You know those reactions men have on hair-growth commercials about how they feel younger and more confident, etc.? That's how I feel while wearing these.I used to be very careful about how I got out of my car, what I was carrying, how fast I would sit down or get up. I would even time getting up from a meeting so that others were not looking at me. Since I wear my shirt tucked out, pulling my pants up means exposing my stomach. No one wants to see that, but it's better than the alternative. Now, that's no longer an issue.So not only am I more comfortable and confident, I'm much more mobile. Which makes sense -- these things were made so that men can work and be active, right? Well, I definitely feel more active. I get out of my chair and go. I walk more briskly. I can carry more stuff in each trip when carrying things between rooms.They do have some side effects that take a couple days to get use do, but those go away. There was a constant pressure on my shoulders the first couple days which, while not always noticeable, did seem to leave me more fatigued -- like if you wear uncomfortable shoes or something. But I think it also develops some muscles in that area because now I barely notice at all.Going to the bathroom was a bit of a trick, but I've figured it out now. (For me, the trick was to manipulate the belt loop around the hook while holding the hook steady, instead of the other way around.)The Hikers seemed pricey to me when I bought them. Now, they seem like an incredible value. I should have done this years ago. They might even be useful if you're trying to lose weight, as they allow you to more active and not be so cautious about limiting your mobility. Huge difference. Buy these. If you have even the slightest inkling you might benefit from these, it's probably more true than you realize.But measure them first, as the site recommends. If you don't have a clothing-style measuring tape thingie, you can find one for $4-$6 here on Amazon, and if you're a big guy, really you should have one of these tapes and watch a youtube video about how to take measurements because most of the clothing sold everywhere isn't made for us and costs more -- so it's not good to just guess.

Hubs was a little uncomfortable about using suspenders. Another gentleman had told me that he wears them every day and finds them to be super comfortable and effective. So I ordered them for my guy, he finally tried them out. He had to admit that he did not have to tug on his pants throughout the day. Five stars. Order them for him & make he try them. Hey may not admit that he loves them which he will.

This is the perfect alternative to standard suspenders. No metal parts to gouge your skin. Completely TSA friendly. They fit great and do the job. However, I can see how the front button thing can wear easily, as seen in the pictures from other reviews. If the manufacturer would replace the weak rubber parts with leather it would wear very well and support the price tag. I may buy another for when this one fails - I will find leather and have it sewn in by a seamstress or shoe repair shop.Update: went to manufacturers website - they offer belt loop clip replacements both in nylon and metal - also offer three belt loop versions to eliminate the button loop issue, two front clips one rear center clip - same sizing options with 10% discount for signing up. I expect the spare belt loop hooks will make one suspender last for a very long time.

With the weight gained from working at home in this post-COVID world that we live in, I lost my natural waistline and my hips no longer keep my pants from falling down. I was looking for traditional suspenders (which I'd planned on wearing under my shirt) when I found these, which are designed expressly for that purpose. I'm wearing them today for the first time. Measure accurately per the instructions and you should get a good fit (men should be familiar with the "measure twice, cut once" logic of making sure the measurement is correct before proceeding).I secured the back hook on the center belt loop on the back of my jeans, pulled up my pants, felt behind me for the front tab (made sure it was not twisted), pulled it over my head, secured on the button of my jeans and the mission was accomplished.I've seen at least one review regarding the perceived problem with the suspenders stretching or a lack of durability in the elastic. The product has to stretch to do its job. And I appreciate the extra holes that adjust the back clip. Women who wear bras (should) know that you always start with the loosest setting and tighten up as the elasticity starts to fail. Men should be made aware of that concept.I've also seen reviews from men who complain about having to deal with removing the contraption when faced with having to tend to certain bathroom necessities ("#2"). As a woman who is faced with having to pull down her pants for every bathroom visit, I'm not seeing a reason for any drama. Unhook the front tab from the button, pull down pants (which causes the front tab to ride up to rest at your throat), reach behind to pull the suspenders clear of the line of fire, do your business, pull up your pants, pull down the tab, button everything up and be done with it. That explanation is far more complex that the actual deed.As far as construction goes, I can see where the front tab that loops onto the button may be the first thing to fail. And when I sit and the elastic relaxes, the "Y" where the elastic shoulder bands meet the front tab rides up and feels scratchy against my skin (when I stand up, this same "Y" rests against the front of my bra so I don't feel it then). The suspenders would be more comfortable when sandwiched between an undershirt and the regular shirt. YMMVOtherwise, the wide elastic bands are comfortable and the product does exactly what I need it to do: Keep my pants up.
