Review on ๐Ÿ‘œ Waisted Wonder: The Ultimate Unfanny-Fanny Pack Waist Pack by Jesse Azuse

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It looks like the waistband of my most comfortable Lulumon yoga pants! LOVE IT!

Running Belt - Bum Bag - Fashionable Travel Money Belt - Multiple Pockets for iPhone 6 Plus, 6S, Note 1-5, Wallet and Medication - Ideal for Sports, Travel and Outdoor Activities - Pink M/L So I leave pretty sporadic reviews because i'm a slow typist and i hate all the time it takes me to be really honest about how i liked/disliked a product but i just had to post your thoughts on it. Belt because it's been a big part of my trip for the last month and is such a big part of my life now - no kidding. I really love this belt! It fits perfectly and is so comfortable. I've tried these thin money belts under my pants and definitely prefer this one. I can wear it under my pants if I want, but it's so comfy and cute to have a piece of pink peeking out from under my shirt, like another layer of my shirt, or wear it over my shirt whenever I want. I really like this belt. So I've just been traveling around Europe with this belt for a month and also walked the Camino de Santiago for about 6 days. This belt was amazing. I slept in it a few nights because sometimes we stayed in places like dorms and I couldn't have been more comfortable or my stuff more secure. Size wise I would say I started the heaviest weight journey I've ever had at about a size 16 and finished the journey at about a size 14, continued training and now I'm 12. I bought M/ L and belt. I felt perfectly comfortable, but never too comfortable, in all my weight ranges. It looks like it would fit a size 10 just fine. It sounds strange, but the fabric is really forgiving. I'm also changing the way I wear the belt. Sometimes I wear it lower around my hips and sometimes I wear it higher below my belly button depending on what shirt I'm wearing and what look I want. However, it's so handy because I can just lift the shirt up a bit and access the secure zippers so easily! It's much better than pulling down your pants to access a flimsy money belt. I've worn it on ferries, buses, trains and subways and it stayed with my stuff the whole time. We also cycled all over Belgium, averaging 10 to 16 miles a day when not cycling. This belt is used! This is what I used to carry in a zip pocket: My Passport International License 3 credit cards Cash Paper Money Coin Wallet** 10 RFID blocked credit cards 3 x passport sleeve holders Shields Anti-Theft We have used them as sleeves for our passport and credit cards for RFID Blocking. Highly recommended! I was carrying my iPhone 5s and Apple headphones in a bag with a headphone jack. There is also a tiny smaller pocket inside this bag. I see that another Revain reviewer sewed a key loop in there, but I couldn't think of a single use for this little pouch. I could do without it, but maybe it would be useful for other users. There is a separate 'hidden' pocket without a zip which I rarely used during my trip but which contained a 20 euro note in a couple of countries because I had forgotten it. I could probably put my credit cards in, but I liked using the zip pockets because it was another layer of security on the subway. Since returning home, I've often used the "hidden" pocket. This is now my favorite phone and I use it everyday for jogging, hiking, walking, biking, gardening, shopping or just around the house to listen to podcasts and have quick access to text messages or take calls. In fact, I now keep my favorite pair of shorts on for training when I run (hooray!). At home, I listen to podcasts while I cook dinner and do chores, and this belt feels like the waistband of my comfiest spandex pants. Did I say I LOVE THIS BELT?! I wanted to gift a product before sharing my disappointment. The grommet that is the headphone jack disappeared one day. It was a bit awkward because the case aligns the fabric so that the headphone cord slips through easily. Without an eyelet, it's not as easy to line up the holes to pull the line through. It wasn't a big deal because I just started pulling the cord out of the zipper and now I just use the 'hidden' phone pocket as I mentioned above. I prefer the 'hidden' pocket now that I've been using it for a while over the original headphone grommet pocket because I don't have to choose between unplugging my phone or plugging it into a port when I pick up my phone, to find a new podcast or send text. While it's always a bit annoying when something new breaks, I've actually found that it hasn't affected my satisfaction with this product. I would deduct 1/2 star for this BUT since Revain doesn't allow me to give it 4.5 stars I'm giving it 5 because I love it and continue to use it so much and despite the case I think it does best product / option is the market. After returning from my trip, I emailed the company to leave a review. The owner responded quickly and thanked me for my opinion. He also said that in the next production run they will change the headphone case! Here, too, I give 4.5 stars despite the current eyelet. Also when I compare what I would get and what I would pay REI to replace my worn out old money belts I have to say the quality and price are very fair. I'm considering buying it in blue, maybe black. I've seen some people prefer neutral colors but for me the beauty of this belt is that it doesn't need to be hidden to keep my stuff safe. Love it!
