I am female, and I hate the shirt stays or garter straps or whatever they are called. For years I have been wearing nylons, even under pants. I tuck my blues shirt into my nylons. It works wonderfully. It keeps my shirt in place very well. No ballooning out. I also have my shirts tailored, so that too helps.

However, I'm not wearing blues everyday, and nylons don't last. I'm spending a lot of money on replacing them every couple days. Not to mention that, in Texas, adding the whole extra layer of clothing is not ideal when it's 100 degree and humid to boot.

I saw this and it made me think of how I put my shirt into my nylons. It's like having the nylon waistband, but without the nylons. Has anyone used it?

Does it stay in place? I'm worried that, as a women, it would go over my hips. Because my waist is slimmer, it would ride up, and then stick out of my waist band. Many men's stomachs are bigger than their hips, unless they are in great shape.

I'm just wondering if this will stay in place.

Didn't know such a thing exists. I do have a slightly bulging stomach, but understand what you are saying about women.

You could buy it and test it out at home on the weekend and see how it works out. I would be more concerned with the comfort of it.

If I had to wear my blues more often I would give it a try.

I don't know about them but I use a version of a shirt stay that still clips to your shirt, but you slide your foot through the bottom straps. The system also only consists of two starps, vice the four straps of the old ones that clipped to your socks.

Thanks! I know about the garters that you're talking about, macjr82. I don't care for them. I'd rather wear nylons. LOL.

I think I'm going to go pick up the belt this weekend. I found a local police uniform supplier that sells it. I'll let y'all know how it works.

I know a lot of people that complain about the garters, so maybe I can pass on this little gem if it is indeed comfortable.
