First I want to say that my wife purchased these in place of wearing a belt to keep her low-rise jeans/pants from slipping down all day. It works well for that and is more comfortable than a belt. But the picture shows two supports that grasp your pants in the back when in fact there is only one. These suspenders have a "Y" shape, not an "X" shape. My wife has a pair with the "X" shape and they have better support but she wanted something skinnier. These still do the job but her other ones are better. She said she didn't feel the skinnier ones, though, so that was nice.
