I love this belt. I have to buy jeans that are larger than my waist because I have large thighs. This belt is very comfortable and keeps my pants up. The belt buckle is comfortable and is easy to slide through belt loops. I don't think it would work on pants without belt loops to keep your pants up but I am not sure why anyone would think that pants without belt loops could have a belt anyway. Those people just need to learn how to sew.  I wish that you could buy the dark brown or tan separately instead of in a pack with the gross light blue color.
