As with all novelty items- I took a chance on ordering PantsStayPut after a friend recommended them to me. I checked out the website and saw some great press and reviews.They are a little more money but they are not throw-aways. PantsStayPut is a permanent fix. I like the fact that I can wash or dryclean my pants and they won’t come out. It has always been such an annoying problem for me and this is really money well spent.
