thank you -Hipsi belt

kkards

this belt has been recommended a number of times on this forum, but I've always resisted buying it, some how $50 seemed like a lot for this item. and I wondered if it would look cheap and if it would really be as smooth and "invisible" as it claimed....well, I should have know that if fabbers were recommending it, it would be what, well, fabulous. I finally ordered it last week, it arrived on Monday, and I wore it twice this week...I ordered the navy, and now I'm going back and ordering the white and maybe the black

I have black and the kind of beige and I love them. I mostly rely on them for s smooth look with untucked tops because my pants have slight variations in rise hence the “ waist” measurement might vary enough to require different size belts.
I still use “ real” belts, but these are definitely wardrobe essentials.

I have 4 beltaways and love them. It’s been over 5 years at least since I purchased them and I have had no problems. I have the original design, but there are more options now. They are cheaper than the Hipsi.

Oh I've never heard of these ... What's different about them, are they stretchy? They have some cute patterns!

I have 4 colors and 2 buckles. While a great belt can make a statement and elevate an outfit, I love the simplicity and versatility of these.

They aren’t particularly stretchy but have a clever hidden adjustment that works really well and enables them to be worn with high low and mid rise pants. And they stay buckled but open easily.

I wrote about why I like them here.

I bought one maybe two years ago and have never worn it. I suppose I don't know what the reason to have this belt really is - which is a little dumb, but....

I have one and I don’t wear it a ton, but it sure comes in handy for when I wear certain pants that tend to slide down my hips — it helps hold them in place while not creating any bulk under a thin or fitted top. It’s polished enough looking that I can also semi tuck with it. People argue you can do the same thing with a regular belt, but even my smallest belts have hardware that sticks out, or the leather creates a bulky line around the waistband. My belt is navy and I’ve thought about getting a black one too.

unfrumped --yes exactly re different rises....i was finding that as i started buying higher rises by belts had to much "hangover" and it was driving me crazy...but i still have lower rises....this belt was so easy to adjust...
TG--its not super stretchy, its just stretchy enough...
loved that i was able to wear a tee untucked one day with a pair of high waisted jeans, and then a semi tuck the next with mid rise jeans, with out adding bulk and having the belt get in the way--and bonus, my pants stayed up

Unless they are high-rise, my pants routinely slide down my hips - it's a rectangle thing - and the Hipsi is a lifesaver for me. I've recommended it here several times. I have two and always wear them with mid-rise pants, especially jeans. I like the adjustability, and I love the very flat profile. If you are untucked or wearing a fitted top, they don't poke out like a regular belt buckle would do. But if you tuck or semi-tuck, the buckle looks nice enough to show. I never calculate cost-per-wear, but if I did, I am sure I am in the negatives for both of these belts at this point. So glad it is working for you, kkards!

It’s not just a rectangle thing! My hips render me about as far from a rectangle as you can be, but my pants slide down too, because waists are routinely too big. So I think these belts are very useful for a variety of body types. I have to thank Vivian for introducing these belts to the forum years ago.

kkards, this turned out to be a great tip for me. I have the middle weight shift, straight hips and a small butt, and I've been going crazy with pants sliding down. I have a hard time finding regular belts that I like and will work. I bought one in navy and it is great so far. I love the way it adjusts. Now I want some in several colors.

Years ago I bought an invisible belt--the plastic kind. Even though I soaked it and hung it outside in the sun for days, it still had that horrible chemical smell and I couldn't stand to use it. It had other flaws too.

So thank you for bringing this item to my attention!

I love mine and need to replace/ upgrade because I wear it so much the elastic had started to pill. But they don't deliver to Canada, so it will have to wait until I make a US crossing...
