Loop2Loop Belts - Review & Giveaway (closed)


I've been so fortunate these past few months, to review so many cool products for the family and to meet some wonderful people behind the products. Sometimes, I find a product that is so useful, functional, or just plain cool, that I can't stop blabbing to my friends and family about it. Loop2Loop belts is one of those products. This product has saved me money (which, hello, I love) because I have been able to pull out pants from Elijah's "done" crate that now have new life!

If you have a young child I know you've been there. Like me, you've probably learned the hard way that it doesn't pay to buy any pants without an elastic waist or an adjustable waist. A few months ago I found a great pair of pants at Old Navy for Elijah for $10 and silly me thought that the elastic waist on the back portion of the pants would be enough to keep them on my skinny boy's waist. Once he put them on for school one day, we both realized that they would simply not work as they wouldn't even stay up they were so loose! With a sigh I put them back in his closet, knowing full well that I wouldn't pull them out again for him to wear. Belts are pointless for toddlers and pre-schoolers. They are just too hard to fumble with when a child has to go to the bathroom.


The Loop2Loop belt is perfect! The belt doesn't actually go over the button area of a child's pants so they never have to fumble with it. Actually, once they are on the child's pants, they don't notice it at all. Think of it as an adjustable waist on the outside of the pants. As long as the pants have belt loops, you can use the Loop2Loop belt! No more purchasing pants based solely on the adjustable-waist feature. Let everyone else leave the regular-waist pants on the sale rack because I can buy them!

The way I used the belt on Elijah's pants is as follows. First, I adjusted the belt to a size that seemed about right when wrapping around his waist like in the picture. Then I threaded it through the belt-loops and snapped both sides at the front around the front belt loops. If it was a little loose, I could adjust the belt at the back. Once it was the perfect fit, no further adjusting was needed and I could interchange it among other pairs of pants. Perfect!

I was happy to read that Loop2Loop belts can survive the wash. I am glad that I have two Loop2Loop belts because when Elijah tosses his pants into his clothes hamper, the belt goes with them too and I frequently am digging to find our prized Loop2Loop belt!

With 7 colors to choose from and at a fantastic price of $12.50US each, Loop2Loop belts are an excellent purchase, according to this frugal mama! This is one of those products that I am confident you will love like I do.

Loop2Loop belts are based in the US and ship to US and Canadian addresses.
