It usually settles in a place between, so it is no big deal. Most woman will adjust them like that for comfort because it does feel uncomfortable otherwise.

Good point, maybe they should be an option? I know they restrict your movement more, but..... >These belts are often fitted to rallye cars. I sat in a race car that had them, tried it on and it was comfortable to me.
