I saw an advert in a UK newspaper or UK newspaper supplement for a
simple device to increase the waist size of a pair of mens trousers.

I cant find this device anywhere looking around the net as I would
like to order one - please help.

Delivery will be in the UK.

Dear stenning,

Thank you for your question!

The product you're looking for can be purchased from an online UK
source under the brand name "Wonder Buttons." See the following URL:

<http://shop.tvn.co.uk/se/cgi-bin/product.x5?DB=Personal%20Choice.dx5&SKU=Personal-idc1463-1011007821>

They're priced at £5.99 per pack of three and are also available for
skirts and collars.

If for any reason you have trouble with the site mentioned above, the
following US-based site sells a similar product:

< http://www.acmenotions.com/pawaex.html >

Some of the search combinations I used to find your answer:

waistband extender
waistband expander
trouser waist expander
"magic button" extend pants
"magic buttons"

Please let me know if you require further assistance - all the best!

Hi

Thanks for this, the only problem is that my trousers are the clip
type (formal work trousers) and dont have a button or button hole?

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Lee

Hello stenning,

I've done some more research and unfortunately, this type of product
seems to be designed exclusively for button-fly pants. One option you
may wish to consider, however, is a waistband stretcher. I didn't find
any for sale in the UK, but these online stores ship internationally:

<http://www.stacksandstacks.com/html/5225_waistband-stretcher.htm>

Or, if you act quickly, you can get one for much cheaper on eBay
(auction ending tomorrow) at a current bid of US $6.49 (approximately
£3.36):

Best of luck!

Perfect - thanks!
