How To Use / Install PantsProp

1. A Note About Installation

PantsProp (v3) is made from a very soft silicone-like material. This allows the rings to stretch quite a bit around either end of the base. Also, the base is quite pliable. This further allows the rings to be installed easier.

2. Positioning PantsProp On Shirt

First, remove the silicone ring from each base.

I recommend attaching PantsProp to each side of your shirt (around the seam line), right below where your pants waistline will sit. Though, feel free to attach it wherever you find works best for you.

Basic installation steps:

  • Have your pants fastened & shirt untucked
  • Place your finger on the outside of your untucked shirt, on the side hip, just below the waist/belt-line
  • Grab one of the PantsProp bases, and place it in that location on the INSIDE of the shirt
  • Base: Should be located on the INSIDE of your shirt, with the smaller side against the shirt
  • Ring: Will be attached from the OUTSIDE of your shirt

Pro Tip: In some cases in may be easier to mark the location on your shirt where you want to install PantsProp, remove your shirt and install it. One (very happy) customer uses tape to mark locations on the back of his shirt. Check out his full PantsProp review here.

3. Use Ring To Secure PantsProp

After positioning the base around the side-seam of your shirt on the inside, secure the base to the shirt using the ring on the outside of your shirt.

For Easiest Installation:

  • Position the ring on the outside of your shirt around perimeter of the base (which is on the inside of the shirt)
  • Hold the ring in place, using handles
  • Push the base through the ring – the base & rings are made of very soft silicone-like material, so the base is quite pliable and the rings stretch quite a bit

4. Position Pants Waistline Just Above PantsProp

Once you’ve secured PantsProp to your shirt, position your pants waistline just above PantsProp on both sides. If you find that your pants are sitting too high (or low), simply reposition PantsProp as needed.

5. Fasten Your Belt (We’re Ready For Takeoff)

Now, just fasten your belt. The bottom of your belt should be positioned right above the top ridge of PantsProp.

Pro Tip: Some PantsProp customers have found that wearing elastic/stretch belts are more effective & comfortable than wearing standard belts.

You’re All Set…

While most products won’t entirely eliminate the possibility of your pants falling down or shirts staying tucked, I do hope PantsProp will minimize it from happening to you.
