Works well but there are a few tradeoffs to consider
I have previously purchased the black plastic (no spring) version of this button pant extender. The one thing that bothered me about the plastic version was that on about half of the pants that I tried it on, the whole thing came off when unbuttoned. You couldn't just leave it on a pair of pants. Here are the pros and cons of this "spring" version:<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />Stays on when unbuttoned (unlike plastic version)<br />Stretches more than fixed plastic version - more adjustable<br />More comfortable than plastic version<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />I personally prefer a less noticeable black button but other folks may like this silver color<br />The extra stretch unfortunately also means it is more likely to show your zipper - I recommend "shirt tail out" to hide it<br />They are somewhat more difficult to fasten and unfasten than the non-spring plastic ones.<br /><br />Update:<br /><br />For lounging around the house, these work fine. However, for walking somewhere outside, I find that I prefer linking two of the no-spring plastic ones together. It just feels a bit more secure and not quite so loose.
