You are doing the valsalva wrong. You are "bearing down" like you are taking a dump, and not forcefully exhaling against a closed glottis like you should be. A properly performed valsalva does not...

You can also order a nylon web belt from any military-type online store (Brigade Quartermaster, etc). Just cut the buckle off, cut the belt in half, and then wash them a few times. Good to go.
