Recommendation For Waist Construction

What methods would you guys recommend for building the waist? The two ways I am picturing are leaving the segments separate and connecting it in the style of a belt or gluing all the segments together and sliding it on like pants? Because I have no clue which would work better.
 
This is what I did for the waist

I glued some straps using High-temperature glue sticks on the foam, large enough for my belt to go through the loops.


I hope this helps, if you have question ping me, I'll try to answer back quickly

Thank you this really helps, especially the visual!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot too, but I’m waiting until I get started on the undersuit since it will add thickness between my waist and the strap. I’ll make an adjustable nylon strap and buckle belt, but I still want the pieces to look cohesive.
 
my cod piece is made form foam and is one flexible piece. It opens at one side to I can put it on. All I have to do is undo the Velcro, wrap it around my waist, and then do up the Velcro. I think you will find that having to step into it will be tedious, especially if you want to go to the bathroom while you're in suit.
