What I do

We help women, men, teens, and children achieve a better fit on the waistband WITHOUT requiring a belt or alteration. First of its kind, Instant Button™ for Jeans (not limited to pants, shorts, skirts, etc...) is a removable button that can be adjusted along the waistband (up to one and a half sizes) on a daily basis-- or as frequently as necessary, to achieve a tighter or looser fit instantly and seamlessly. Some factors that temporarily impact the waistline, therefore, the fit of the waistband are: - In-between sizes - A gap between the body and the back of the waistband - Weight Loss - Weight Gained - Wider Hips - Pop-off button - Belt Bulge. No matter the situation, the Instant Button™ for Jeans is a fashionable and quick solution and a great alternative to spending more money on alterations and new jeans in this tough economy. Available in a set of two buttons with 2 post lengths (6mm and 8mm), one of each, to accommodate the various jeans thickness.

  • My Story

    I am a mother of three beautiful children (ages 8, 6, and 3) who is blessed with a supportive husband who helped me make my American Dream come true. The idea for Instant Button™ for Jeans started after my third child was born. I was constantly adjusting the waistband of my favorite jeans’ because I was stuck in-between sizes. I tried using belts to secure my jeans, but it was bulky and added another layer of thickness to my waist. Then, I tried using safety pins to shrink the waistband. After months of poking my fingers and body with the pins, I knew that I was on a mission to find a solution. With inspiration from the Donny Deutsch show, “The Big Idea,” I launched the Instant Button™ for Jeans on October 17, 2008. Instant Button™ for Jeans is a removable button that was designed to be fashionable, while also providing great value and instant gratification. I never need to use a safety pin for a perfect fit, again!

    My passion has always been about helping others and improving productivity so my time is being used efficiently in everything I do.
