StashBandz No-Bounce Running Belt for Women & Men – Phone Holder Fits All Phones, 4-Pocket Slim Fanny Pack with Zipper – Travel Money Belt Waist Pack for Running & Workout

As someone who loves to stay active and travel, finding the right gear to support my lifestyle is crucial. The Travel and Exercise Belt has been a game-changer for me, offering convenience, security, and comfort all rolled into one sleek package. After extensive use, I am excited to share my experience with this versatile accessory. Firstly, the storage capacity of this belt is impressive. The double-wide design featuring four large pockets, each measuring 6" high by 8" wide, is a thoughtful touch. I could easily fit my phone, passport, cash, keys, cards, a small flask, glasses, and more without feeling overburdened. What's more, the pockets are zippered, which adds an extra layer of security for my valuables. For those who require medical devices such as insulin pumps on the go, this belt is a considerate solution. The pockets are spacious enough to accommodate such devices discreetly and comfortably. The belt's slim and concealable design is another highlight. It lies flat against the body and can be worn under clothes without creating a bulky appearance. This feature is particularly beneficial for travelers who want to keep their valuables safe and out of sight. Moving on to the fabric, the high-quality spandex is both stretchy and durable. It has withstood intense workouts, long walks, and jogs without losing its shape or slipping. The moisture-wicking property is a bonus, keeping me dry and comfortable throughout my activities. I also appreciate the secure storage design. The top-loading pockets ensure that nothing falls out during movement, and the separate compartments make organization easy. This means less time rummaging and more time enjoying my workout or sightseeing. In terms of aesthetics, the belt has a fashionable look that doesn't scream "tourist," which I appreciate. It's available in a variety of colors, allowing for personal expression whether I'm hitting the gym or exploring a new city. However, it's worth noting that while the belt is non-bulky, the appearance when fully packed will vary depending on what and how much you carry. Overstuffing could potentially create a visible bulge under clothing. The Travel and Exercise Belt is a top-notch accessory for anyone with an active lifestyle or who loves to travel. Its thoughtful design caters to a variety of needs, from secure storage to comfort and style. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or a frequent traveler, this belt could be your new best friend, keeping your essentials safe and accessible without compromising on comfort or style.

This thing has been a Godsend for me - I have an LVAD, a mechanical heart pump, that is attached to me 24/7, with a couple of huge (and heavy - 10 lbs combined weight, easy) batteries that I usually have to carry around in a crossbody bag (which made me neck and back ache), or in a backpack (which made me hot all the time), and I was desperately looking for another solution when I found these bands. It works beautifully! It holds up all the weight without sliding down or running up, and it distributes the weight so evenly I forget I even have all these robot parts attached to me while I’m wearing it. I am able to move normally, and do housework and even workouts without having to worry that my controller or battery packs are going to slip out and hit the floor. It also holds everything snuggly against my waist so it doesn’t shift or tug if I have to bend down to work on something, but it’s not too tight - I can go from standing to sitting with no pinching or pain, and I can get in and out of a car (or any seated position) like normal, without having to tug the band up or down or worry it’s going to slide or try to squeeze me in half when I change positions like that. It’s even comfortable enough to sleep in it. The pockets are nice and big so they can accommodate the two, 7”x5” batteries and the 5”x4” receiver, while still leaving a ton of room to spare, and they don’t gape or sag even with the large, heavy equipment in there. It sits well against my waist so that with a slightly loose top on, you can’t even see all the hardware I have on, which is really nice. It’s also machine washable and has stood up well against months of daily use - I’m ordering more now, but this one has survived daily use and being washed multiple times a week for a good 6 months and it’s still in great shape. If you have any kind of medical equipment you have to wear/lug around all the time, this is an excellent solution. Or if you just need an amazing way to carry your stuff securely when you run or jog, these bands would work wonderfully for that too. I can’t recommend this product highly enough! If you are going back and forth between several listing options like I was, choose this one!

I love this thing so much. I wish the material was a little bit thicker but on the plus side you can't really see it under your clothes so that's nice. It does have several pockets but only one has an actual zipper which I think it would be better if they all had to zippers. I have pretty wide hips and I got the xl as a size 16 but if you want it on the tighter side, I would get a size below normal. If you want it to be higher on your waist get two sizes smaller. I can carry my Taser/ mace, a thin wallet, my phone even with a thick case on it, bug spray, keys, portable charger, headphones, hand sanitizer, and still probably have enough room for snacks and a plethora of other things. I actually purchased this to eliminate the need for a purse all together and it works perfect for that. You can barely tell you're wearing anything at all. Great for hiking even running but I would suggest you put items that need more security in the zipper pocket but for the most part things won't move around much if you get the right size. I wear leggings religiously and most leggings never have pockets because life isn't fair so basically this product completely solved that problem us legging people can have pockets once again and remain comfy AF. 😂🤗😘

I have nevereverever left a review on Amazon. Maybe I'm shirking my Amazonly duty, but the point is that I've never been impressed enough with a product *and* the company's customer service to warrant the time investment to write a review. In April I was heading overseas on my first international trip and had been told repeatedly by many people that a money belt was essential for passport, tickets, cash, etc. I spent way too much time researching belts and ordered three of them just to send them back for various reasons (too small for passport, couldn't zip it up with phone inside, scratchy, etc.). I don't remember what search terms I used to finally stumble upon Stashbandz, but I was very enamored of the idea of wearing something so thin and flexible that didn't feel like it was riding somewhere north of my ribcage. It's essentially a wide spandex belt with four pockets, one zipped, that you wear around your hips. There are two front pockets and two back pockets taking up the entire band, meaning you'd have to work really hard to overload them with your stuff. The pockets have a slight foldover at the top to ensure that nothing falls out. You simply step into the band and pull it up over your hips (or waist if you prefer). You can wear it over your pants where things are more easily accessible rather than under a shirt where it's impossible to efficiently grab anything when you need it. (But under the shirt is certainly an option if that's preferred.) I think it was originally meant as something to hold your phone, etc. while you're out walking or running, but it's also hands down the best money belt you can buy. I bought it in black and it blended in perfectly with my pants. It held my phone, passport, tickets, cash and some other stuff and performed 100%. I could walk down the sidewalk and put the phone in or take it out without missing a beat. Everyone else on the trip had to step aside and dig around in their money belt under their shirt, telegraphing "TOURIST" to the rest of the world. Me? Nope. It looked and felt like I was just taking something out of a front pants pocket. Easy to take out, easy to put away. Since coming home, it has become an indispensable part of my wardrobe when I'm wearing any pair of pants that don't have pockets (or any functional pockets). It just looks like part of the pants or shirt and keeps my phone and other stuff close at hand and secure but with the ability to easily grab the phone or whatever I need. Since the band is stretchy, there's no worry that your phone is a toooouch too wide, long, whatever. It accommodates anything you want to throw at it. But the best part about this company is their customer service. I was so happy with the awesomeness of the belt that I dashed off a quick e-mail just to tell them about said awesomeness. I happened to mention that the size small was perfect for yoga pants but that I wondered how it would hold up when being pulled up over jeans or thicker material over and over again. The same day I received a response from (gasp) a human. She sounded genuinely excited that I was so tickled pink about the belt and--wait for this one--*offered to send me another belt on the house* because she wanted to make sure I had one that would fit over jeans. Mind you that I never asked, hinted, or alluded to anything free; I sent them the e-mail solely to tell them I appreciated such an excellent product. But she picked up on my offhand speculation about wearing it over thicker material and offered to send me a slightly bigger one that would fit well over jeans. I was floored. When I replied and said I'd love to take them up on their offer, she responded later that afternoon with a tracking number. I'm doubly floored. Gobsmacked, even. Flabbergasted! I have never experienced service like that. I have quickly become a lifelong fan of this company, not only because of a quality product that works perfectly, but because it's owned and operated by people who so obviously care about their products and their customers. I can confidently say that you won't find a better money belt or running belt. Trust me. I ordered pretty much every other one on the planet to try them out.

UPDATE: It's been three weeks, and I still don't like how it feels flimsy and slippery. Meanwhile, I ordered another product -- the "Slim Running Belt for Men Women, Running Fanny Pack, Phone Holder for Running, Waist Bag, Moisture Wicking Storage Belt Bag for Walking, Travel, Sports, Hiking, Workout" from Brand: LSORPWK which costs less than half the price -- $10, on sale now for $7. ASIN B0BHTHW6BL. And I actually like that one better. It's sturdier. The mesh fabric breathes, but is a grippy material that holds my medical device in place very well. It could use a couple of more stitches -- I plan to pull out my sewing kit (or a stitch gun) and add some, because it's basically just one large pocket that goes all around. For the same price as one StashBandz I can get three and a half of these other ones, and get something more sturdy and grippy. So I'm taking away one star from my StashBandz review. I originally rated it higher because there was literally no competition. Well, now there is. ========== ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've been using these for five years, ever since I needed to start wearing a medical device. The pump is about the size of... about three large smartphones stacked together. The pump came with a fanny back which was super bulky and uncomfortable with annoying snaps on it. This belt fits under my clothes and makes the pump completely invisible. I don't even notice I've got it on. HOWEVER, I just bought it again (because one of my older ones was a bit too big and stretched out after five years of use -- and I lost a bit of weight, too). And the new version is of a lighter, stretchier, slipperier material. I don't know yet how the new material will hold up. The previous version felt a bit sturdier. I'll see. But I *do* have to size down one more size because the new belt is stretchier, and I need to be able to hold the heavy pump securely against my body. It also rolls up in the back and sides instead of lying flat. (Again, because the material is slippery and not very sturdy, so doesn't hold its shape.) Back when I was first diagnosed, StashBandz was pretty much the only option on the market. I'll be keeping an eye out for an alternative, though, that's a bit sturdier.

This product is great for patients with nerve stimulators or other devices implanted in their chest. Instead of the medical transmitter provided where the antenna and transmitter go inside the big ugly black belt pocket that has Velcro that keeps falling off, this belt keeps everything safe, in the correct area over my stimulator, and doesn’t fall off! No more falling transmitter or waking up with my transmitter on the floor so my stimulator wasn’t charged during the night like it is supposed to do. Great value! Easy to use! Comfortable!

Update 10/2/18: Nearly a year later and I still love it. I wear it 5-7 times a week for my run and it fits and hides the phone under my shirts so well. A friend came spent a night and saw me wearing it and got one for herself. It fits my keys, wash towel (for days that I sweat so much from the heat that the sweat sting my eyes) and sunglasses. I wash it weekly and it still holds up well. I got rained on a couple of times while running and for some reason, my phone stayed fairly dry, even though the material didn’t seem like waterproof. I wouldn’t recommend testing it on a $800 iPhone though. I’m considering purchasing another one in case they decide to discontinue this. ———- This is an example of a simple product that solves a problem and great execution. I bought an iphone 6+ a couple of weeks ago and rushed to find a pouch that could hold it as I run 3-6 miles every morning. The 1st one I bought from another company was supposed to be able to hold the phone plus the case. It did fit the phone with the Otterbox Defender case, but it was extremely hard to maneuver it into the pouch. I then found this travel belt and after reading description and lots of review, I bought the XS size. I'm about 5'1, 93 pounds. But I was a bit concerned that it would not fit me as I intended to wear it over clothes and not next to my skin. In the winter I wear 3-5 layers of shirts and jacket for my run to keep me from freezing to death. So I called StashBandz. True to some reviewers' statement about able to talk to a real human in the US instead, a lady named Kathryn answered my call. I gave her some info about my height, weight, and the phone with case, and told her my intention of wearing over several layers of clothes, and asked her if the XS would fit me. She said it should, so I felt better that I ordered the right size. I took it out for a test run this morning and it worked wonderfully. It didn't flip flop everywhere and stay fairly close to my body. It did ride up a bit but I think it's because I have a very small waist size in ratio to to my hip. I definitely recommend this product, and love that their company chooses to take customer service seriously.

This money/storage band is so much better than a regualr money belt. No clips, just pull on. Hidden pockets and it lays very flat against your tummy so will not be very noticeable under clothing. I wear a size 10 and purchased a large. It is not tight, but not loose either. It stays up so well because of the width and is very comfortable. It would most likely be great for size 12 people too. The material is a soft polyester type fabric, & hidden zipper, open, large pouch which could hold a passport and won't emply contents because it lays flat against the tummy. Plenty of room for money and a cell phone. No metal, so it should go through TSA for traveling as well and no chance of coming apart like the money belt clips sometimes do. I highly recommend this product and am so glad I purchased it.

I bought this to use whilst walking so I don't have to hold my phone and keys. It has a large pocket that holds my very large phone. There's also a smaller zippered pocket which I love. I bought a slightly larger size so I can wear it on my hips - they said this on this product and it was good advice. It stretches nicely over my head or hips. I went back to buy more... but unfortunately the black is unavailable. Hope they get more stock soon and at the special price offer.

Nice enough

Lo use para un viaje a EEUU. Me sentí comodo todo el tiempo. Muy práctico para guardar pasaporte y visa así como algo de efectivo y tarjetas de crédito.

I am SO happy with this purchase! I work as a support worker and am not able to carry a bag whilst working. As a type 1 diabetic wearing a blood glucose sensor as well as a tubeless insulin pump, I NEED to constantly have access to my phone, pump PDM and glucose tablets. This belt is extremely comfortable and discreet, both phone and PDM can either be put in the belt lying down or standing up (it is wide enough for my iPhone 12 Pro to be up right). I wear it under my top and if it would be visible due to me bending over etc, people would just assume it’s a tank top underneath my top as it doesn’t look like a belt (= very discreet). Both my phone and my Omnipod PDM fit in the front pocket with the zip, but whilst wearing it, I don’t think I’ll actually be using the zip as they seem to be secure without it (and it means faster access). I can imagine the zip being a bit fiddly to use as it is very small. There are multiple pockets around the whole thing, and the side pockets are excellent for storing the glucose tablets. Whilst wearing it, I do not feel like it looks bulky or makes me look big (which was an initial worry). That being said, the phone and PDM (which looks like a smaller sized iPhone) are both flat, and the glucose tablets (Dextrose) are not that bulky either. But I would easily be able to carry more than one packet of Dextrose without it being noticeable. Size wise I’m usually size 10-12 and I ordered S. I was worried this would be too small considering the sizing chart says S is for size 2-6 (or something like that) but as M was out of stock in the black colour, so I decided to take the risk. I was close to ordering L but then read a review where someone size 14 said M was perfect for them. Luckily S fits perfectly and I am glad I was unable to order M (and didn’t order L). It fits well both over my high waisted jeans (lower down) as well as higher up around my waist, and fits comfortably. I do have fairly big thighs but do not struggle to take the belt on or off. I’m hoping this belt will soon be available in beige, as I would love to have a light coloured one to wear under white/light coloured tops as well. Whilst it is a bit pricey for what it is, it is for me 10000% worth it. I’m thinking about buying another one as a backup so I can use the second one if the first one needs to be washed. I am also planning on starting to wear the belt at the gym, as it’s a bit tricky to be able to carry all my stuff in there and there’s also always a worry something will be forgotten somewhere and stolen. But if so, I would definitely require more than one as it would get sweaty and would need to be washed after. All in all: Do buy.

I wanted a money belt without straps, that was really comfortable and gave a smooth appearance. This is belt ticks all the boxes, plus enables me to carry a number of items. Recommend
