Pants Don’t Fit Post-Thanksgiving Binge? Try the Waistband Stretcher

Did your stuff yourself so much on Thanksgiving that your pants no longer fit you? Well, don’t worry - here’s a gadget that will solve your problem:
When your waistband feels too snug, reach for the Waistband Stretcher. You don’t have to get rid of your favorite jeans, skirts or slacks thanks to this simple waist-band stretching device that lets you add from 1-5 inches (depending on size of garment) to the waist of cotton pants, skirts, and shorts. Just moisten the garment’s waistband, insert the waistband stretcher, extend the garment to the desired size and let dry - voila, a more comfortable fit!
