StashBandz Running Belt, Fanny Pack, & Money Belt, 4-Pocket Phone Holder

I absolutely LOVE this fanny pack. It is so soft & stretchy & has large pockets, all pockets have an inner material that folds over so your items are protected & don’t slip out. One has a zipper for added protection. You can wear it on the outside of your clothes or under your clothes, I had on a lose fitting shirt & jeans yesterday & wore it off just to see how it felt & wore it UNDER my shirt & you cannot see it. My daughter could not tell I had it on under my shirt & I had my huge IPhone with Otter Box, reading glasses, whole set of keys, kleenex, a couple of finger toys my grandkids had handed me & still had room for other things. It is very stretchy to accommodate lots of things if need be & doesn’t lose it’s shape. I ordered an x large. They are true to size. I probably could’ve used a smaller size but it is not that big that you’d ever have to worry about it sliding off. It’s stretchy material feels wonderful. Cool to touch. Absorbs sweat but protects items inside from sweat. Even if you’re not a runner - this is awesome for amusement parks, hikes, boating, walking, even a school teacher who needs to be hands free while teaching but needs things close & easy to reach like markers, chalk, bandaids, bacteria handwash, Kleenex, cell, etc, or on playground or field trips or servers could use for tips instead of apron. I love mine. May end up ordering a couple more! Would also make a great gift for that person who’s hard to pick for. Love love love it!

*EDIT/UPDATE* Ok! So - I received a medium and it’s wonderful and perfectly snug around the waist to keep things more secure. I have a big waist as a said before in original review - the medium is tight/almost compressive and keeps everything together without anything falling out (I use this to carry insulin, Continuous Glucose Monitor receiver, phone, emergency glucose gel, will be using with a Tandem t:slim x2 insulin pump, etc.)! The XL is totally fine for sleep or lower impact activities but it does stretch out fairly quickly. Both are easy to wash, hang dry, re-use, slip on and off, and seem to be stitched pretty well. Still totally happy with them, and probably will continue to use on a regular basis! ********** I got this for my new insulin pump, to carry my CGM, phone, other supplies! It definitely fits all that and more (you will see some bulk depending on the clothes you wear regularly)! I walk with forearm crutches or a cane 90% of the time so keeping hands free for that is ideal (get sick of wearing a pack on my back with spine issues). I have a very specifically large stomach/barely obvious waist no matter what; it’s pretty oddly shaped - so it’s also a struggle to find things that fit “ideally”. I got an XL according to the size chart provided by the manufacturer - and though I will keep it and wear it to sleep with the pump, it’s a bit too big if you’re going to be moving around a lot! If you’re using this for higher intensity movement, I’d say go at least a size down. I’ve ordered another in M for needing absolute security carrying my pump around... Otherwise I feel like the XL might stretch out too far or slide down. Generous room/organization, fairly secure even if a little big (of course depending on what you cram in there), very soft fabric/seams that don’t irritate skin... I’d say it’s worth the money and worth getting multiple if you’re using it a lot!!

This is my favorite running belt. Even though i have had to sew nearly every pocket on each end to keep pockets separated. Also i got a size too big and i cannot see where size i ordered previously is. It is rather pricey and just went up a couple more dollars. In spite of all that, i love this style. It holds all that i need with me wherever i go and what i do. So handy and items accessible. Stuff doesn't usually fall out when wearing.

Super-handy item for travel. I use it as a money belt -- it fits discretely under the waistband of my skirt and can hold cash, my passport, a phone, etc. No scratchy belts or bulky buckles. Also useful for hiking.

Well made but did not work for me. Tended to role and did not lay flat…

Great for wearing under clothes. Have used all over Europe for passports and extra money. Fairly comfortable to wear and I feel the things in it are secure.

Size are a little inaccurate. I purchased a Long Size as I wear 38 inch waist pants and the L is a little loose, I have to pull the belt up very often. I will try with a medium size. It looks kind of weird for a man to put it on or take it off, as looks like weird underwear. but the quality is amazing. There is "wallet" pocket with a tiny discrete zipper that makes is super safe for the money. They will never jump out no matter how challenging the movement or the shacking. and it has a larger pocket without any further zipper or Velcro or lock. I put the cell phone there and it has never ever failed. Overall is a good product. I would suggest some improvements to make it look more manly. it is a little bit feminine

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.

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.

Good Quality

You have no idea how many things I've tried to hold my insulin pump since the belt clip broke on it. This works perfectly! I never have to worry about if the tubing is going to get caught on things like door handles because it's covered by my shirt and inside this so it doesn't have the chance to catch and pull. It's comfy to sleep in too if you happen to forget to take it off and keeps the pump secure to your body. Excellent! If it were something specialized and specifically for this, I'd suggest a button hole on the interior side so that you could feed tubing through it, but because it's marketed as multipurpose, this works. I want to order a few more just so I always have one ready to wear! Thanks for a great product! :)

This belt has been perfect for me. It holds my phone, my keys, my doggie bags and has room for more. I was a little wary of it stretching too much because you have to step into it, but it's been a couple weeks and it still feels tight, but comfy. I love how there's a zipper on the front so I know my phone is secure 👍🏼

Nice enough
