Great belt for the price! I bought this for a pair of pants that hits just between my natural waist and my hips (right on the top of my hip bones) and I ordered a small, I am 5'5" 120 pounds 32.5" hips 25" waist. This belt works well as a waist cincher, and between the hips and waist, it works just ok for on the hips as it just BARELY makes it to the first belt hole on my waist
