Which belt to keep shirt in?

I was reading about shirt lock. Anyone have any opinion on this? What about ultimate belt? I had the rubber belt and wasn't a fan as it didn't last long. Maybe just bad luck? I am currently tucking into compression shorts and while my shirt stays in my pants like to slip down a little

I wear shirt garters and the rubber belt.

I use a staple gun.

I have a Shirt Lock and don't like it as, since it literally hooks onto the shirt, it tears up the polyester fabric.

I prefer the rubber belts, Smitty or Hidden Taylor

Tucking my shirt into tights worked better than any belt I used.

Shirt stays...elastics that clip to the bottom of the shirt and the top of my over-the-calf sock. Shirt stays in, socks stay up. Search "SHIRT STAYS" on Amazon. Cheap too.

I've used both the velcro belts an rubber belts and prefer the rubber.

Super Glue also works quite well. But I prefer the Ultimate (Velcro) Belt.

I prefer the rubber Hidden Tailor. Plus it has the added benefit of helping to keep your pants up if you need such assistance.

I used to us the Ultimate Belt a couple years ago, it was ok. I then switched to the Flex Belt which was also ok. The gray Flex Belt is not as stretchy as the white one (which nearly everyone here uses), and broke the first time I stretched it out.

I had a tailored shirt as well and I was using the flex belt to keep my shirt stretched at all times, with no creases or folds. After a couple months of that I decided I didn't like the look and have forgone the belt. I just tuck my jersey into my compression shorts and let it stretch out a bit. My pants don't ride down as much, I get those tailored as well and they sit nicely on my hips. YMMV.

I double-up on compression shorts and just tuck my shirts in between them. Works well. No bulk. No unnecessary purchases. Works for all the sports I do, including baseball and softball, even behind the plate.

The shirt lock has worked best for me. You are right about it tearing up whatever it's attached to. I tuck my shirt into my tights then put it on the outside.

Thinking of trying the shirt stays pictured above.

+1

I've taken to doing the same thing this year. I like the look and the feel, and I can use all the fashion help that I can get.

I've used a product called Super-Tuks for years. Same concept as the shirt stays, but with a clip for the part that connects to your sock. Had I known they were going out of business I would have bought a couple more pairs as mine are getting a little long in the tooth now.
