YES! I have two pairs of dress slacks that fit my legs but were too big in the waist, they would fall down and I hate having to wear a belt. What I wanted to do was add extra “eye” parts further along the waistband so that I could clasp the pants tighter. These things were exactly what I was looking for, they worked great. I just used the “eye” pieces, so I can only speak to the installation of those, but it was super easy to install them. I poked them through, put on the back plate, and used pliers to bend the prongs over and then did a couple taps with a hammer. Fantastic. As you can see from the pictures, I left the back plate exposed so it technically runs against my skin but I don’t feel it at all. I’m so happy with this product!!!
