I use the same thing, maybe not the same brand but essentially the same. They eventually tear but it takes a long time. I get 7-8 years out of one.

Serious naive question. Do those things actually work(perfectly)? Seemed they'd move and do all sorts of annoying crap so I never tried.

I've never had a problem with mine. It also has the bonus effect of helping to keep my pants up.

Same here. I tend to lose them (No idea how) before they tear, and I've never had an issue with them moving up and down.

I'm not a scientist, so I think it's magic.

Super Tuks

Several years ago I purchased a pair of these and apparently the company's gone out of business. Still using them today and yes, they do a great job of keeping your shirt tucked in and looking good.

Thanks for the constructive (and some unusual and innovative) suggestions!

Between the tension and friction, the belt itself doesn't move. It holds your shirt down and your pants up.

I wear the straps to keep my shirt down and the belt to keep my pants from shifting.

I've used the Flex Belt as well as shirt stays. I prefer the shirt stays. I found these on Amazon...search for: World's Best Shirt Stays from Shirt Stay Plus BLACK 4-PIECE. I'm sure these are the brand I have.

I've used them for the past 4 seasons and have had good luck with them. It is true that they tend to disappear over time. I originally bought a set of 4 and I think I'm down to 2 but I will buy them again. I think the price was about $12 for a set of 4.

They are adjustable. They have metal alligator type clips that attach to the bottom of your shirt and top of your hose/socks. The hose I currently use come up above the knee so its important to be able to shorten the length and these do the trick. (I'd post a photo but I don't know how to imbed them in posts)
