Methods to strap into a machine

Sometimes on certain machines there's a seat belt like strap to keep your lower torso and butt against the pads. Im curious to what methods you all use when one isnt provided? Thanks.

The only machines I know of with belts are the "wide chest" and decline Hammer Strength machines.

I'd just put a plate or dumbbell on my lap or use a dip belt; reverse the dip belt so the chain is hanging off the side, loop it through a plate or dumbbell that's on the ground underneath you then connect it back onto the dip belt.
