Dancebelts do become a bit softer and more comfortable the more they're worn and washed. However, usually about then many loose their support.
They will last longer if you carefully hand-wash them without wringing them out.
Some brands are different. The ones with wide, stiff elastic waistbands should stay stiff around the waist.
In what way do you think a new dancebelt is uncomfortable?
