What are they called & where do I get them

Anyone know what those thingies are that you use to expand your trousers, that kinda fasten onto your button & the buttin hole of your trousers so they're not to tight.

And if so where can I get one from.

My trousers fit fine until mid afternoon when all of sudden they feel a bit tight. In an ideal world i could sit at my desk & just undo the button, but unfortunately my job thats not an option.

I think it is called a belly band?? I would think you could get them at any maternity store, and perhaps on ebay.

I just used a hair bobble - works just as well and you can get them anywhere

Sorry to sound thick Marley, but do you just tie it through the button hole then fasten it over the button.

belly bands but they are crap, all depends on the size of the button on your pants - better to use a hairband/elastic band

I used a hair bobble and just looped it through the hole onto my button

Thanks I have loads of hair bands so can stick a couple in my bag.

Don't feel so fat & bloated today.

i like to combine a belly band with a hair tie looped through the button hole then over the button. then the belly band or a long top hides it. i like to wear some old-man type braces as well, to hold up my trousers, as my job is very active and they just won't stay up otherwise.
