Helpful for children in uniforms that are either not so great at their buttoning and zippering or that are aggravated by a stiff waistband.  Decent quality for the price and this is a reasonably priced product.  Blends in very nicely with what the uniform company in our area sells.  (The uniform company however, don't have any elastic waists though and the prices are naturally a bit higher esp. for husky size.) I bought one pair here on Amazon just to try them and did end up coming back for more.
