HIKERS - Original Hidden Suspenders for Men Under Clothes - Button Fly

Had my hip replaced can’t wear belts anymore love these things

Suspenders. Yikes! I feel rediculous even saying it, but the status quo was unacceptable. I have a round figure and everytime I get up I had to pull my pants up. When I would life something or carry something, I ran the risk of my pants falling unless I was careful about how I moved. You get used to it. You learn to be careful. I didn't even realize how much of my mental focus went into that until i started wearing Hikers.The benefits were immediate and extraordinary, even though I ordered one that was too large for me because I just assume I should get large versions of everything and didn't bother measuring. So these are not as perfect as they could be, but they are still a massive improvement. You know those reactions men have on hair-growth commercials about how they feel younger and more confident, etc.? That's how I feel while wearing these.I used to be very careful about how I got out of my car, what I was carrying, how fast I would sit down or get up. I would even time getting up from a meeting so that others were not looking at me. Since I wear my shirt tucked out, pulling my pants up means exposing my stomach. No one wants to see that, but it's better than the alternative. Now, that's no longer an issue.So not only am I more comfortable and confident, I'm much more mobile. Which makes sense -- these things were made so that men can work and be active, right? Well, I definitely feel more active. I get out of my chair and go. I walk more briskly. I can carry more stuff in each trip when carrying things between rooms.They do have some side effects that take a couple days to get use do, but those go away. There was a constant pressure on my shoulders the first couple days which, while not always noticeable, did seem to leave me more fatigued -- like if you wear uncomfortable shoes or something. But I think it also develops some muscles in that area because now I barely notice at all.Going to the bathroom was a bit of a trick, but I've figured it out now. (For me, the trick was to manipulate the belt loop around the hook while holding the hook steady, instead of the other way around.)The Hikers seemed pricey to me when I bought them. Now, they seem like an incredible value. I should have done this years ago. They might even be useful if you're trying to lose weight, as they allow you to more active and not be so cautious about limiting your mobility. Huge difference. Buy these. If you have even the slightest inkling you might benefit from these, it's probably more true than you realize.But measure them first, as the site recommends. If you don't have a clothing-style measuring tape thingie, you can find one for $4-$6 here on Amazon, and if you're a big guy, really you should have one of these tapes and watch a youtube video about how to take measurements because most of the clothing sold everywhere isn't made for us and costs more -- so it's not good to just guess.

If you're tired of a belt cutting you in half, trying to hold up your pants because you don't have enough butt to keep your pants up then you need these. If you're tired of pulling your pants up 5,000 times a day because you are in a trade industry and always bending over and getting up and getting on your knees and having to get up and so on and so forth then you need these. Get these if you're tired of cutting yourself in half with a belt, or pulling your pants up 5,000 times a day.

I’ve been meaning to try suspenders for quite a while, however, I did not love the idea of putting them on and taking them off of my pants. These HYKERS are exactly what I was looking for. Yes, they look weird, especially at the beginning. Yes they take a little bit of getting used to when it comes to putting them on and taking them off. However, the fact that they only use one point of attachment in the front and back, in my opinion, makes them easier to put on. At least to me, they feel less cumbersome. I’ve been using them for only a few months on and off, but on the whole, I am really happy with them.

I have a love-hate relationship with this product. I'm giving it four stars only because it does what it says it will... just not always very comfortably. First, the straps themselves are relatively comfortable at first, but if you're going to be doing a lot of walking, they ride up and down on your back and shoulders and start to irritate the skin after a while. Also, if it's hot or humid, expect to sweat under the straps. I also still need to wear a belt, or my pants hang funny with only these straps, due to the single point of contact on either side. Finally, and the worst thing about these, is that the black patches where the straps come together and then branch off onto the connecting straps have pointy edges that truly irritate (and hurt to some extent) my back. I had to wrap/glue-on some other soft fabric around these bindings to make wearing this contraption comfortable enough to tolerate. So yeah, it works well enough, but there needs to be some adjustments made to the comfort level.

These are so much more attractive than the suspenders you wear on the outside of your shirt. I'm so happy I ordered them for my husband. I think he likes them too. Comfortable!
