Several years ago I developed severe diverticulitis. Had to have surgeries. Last being a stoma reversal (Thank God) The mesh didn't do it's job and after 3 surgeries, I had a lump permanently. For years I would wear a belt and it always cause my belt and pants to slip and fall. Did not matter how tight I wore my belt, the scar and lump would be in the way. I could never keep my pants from falling if I had things in my pockets my pants could drop top my knees. And I had to be quick!  Doing my work, constantly pulling up my pants. DROOPY DRAWERS. It made doing anything involving 2 hands a chore, because I had one hand on my pants.. Not sure where I got the idea but decided to try suspenders.
It worked, it was great not having to worry about pants falling. These are a lifesaver, I mean it gave me a better quality of doing my job and being able to use both of my God given hands. These suspenders are terrific. I wear them everyday. I've purchased 3 pair and these McGuire-Nicholas are superb quality. Still hold tight, no rips or tears or any defects and the teeth still have a firm grip, after 6 years of use. . They hold and I can go about my day with confidence.
 If I ever need to purchase suspenders it will most certainly be the McGuir-Nicholas brand  .
