Did you buy the perfect pair of pants at a thrift store just to find that they are too small? Is pregnancy pushing you out of your favorite jeans. Did you finally drink enough protein shakes to pack on all that muscle? Or maybe you just ate too much pie at Christmastime.

In the olden days when your weight changed suddenly, you'd have to go out and by new clothes, and unwanted old clothes may have ended up in a landfill. Now you can extend the life of your pants by extending the size of your waistband.

A thirty dollar gadget, the Waistband Stretcher, can extend the size of your all pants, reducing your need to buy new pairs. It can stretch most waistbands up to 5 inches

Not a bad deal, especially since pants cost at least thirty dollars a pair. It’s the perfect device for those too-small thrift store pants or if you've just packed on a few pounds. And if the weight you've gained is unwanted, you can drop the poundage and take in the jeans.
