work very well i am ordering more [SEP] i think these things come in very handy during summer if you are wearing a sleeveless shirt and do not want your bra straps to show it will hold them in place well and keep them hidden however my favorite way to use them is on old bathing suits that have the straps all stretched out i use one of these and the bathing suit becomes an x back that has renewed life in it i like to wear old bathing suits this way to work around the yard and in my garden with a pair of shorts over them i originally got these two years ago for my sisters wedding but i have since worn them many times yes eventually if you use them hard they will snap and break but they are great to have on hand i do not find them that hard to put on if my husband is available i will ask him to put them on for me once my suit is on but if he is not i will put then on the bathing suit carefully and then step into the suitupdate on i reordered four packages of these which as pictured are the exact same ones i got before what i received was a different product i am not thrilled with the new improved version they do not sit completely flat like the old ones did i think i am going to return three of the packages or maybe all four i am disappointed that i did not receive the tried and true ones that i ordered the picture here should be updated so as not to deceive customers in the future
