Running Belt Money Belt 4-Pocket Phone Holder

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.

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 really like this product. It’s soft enough to put under your clothes to be discreet. You might want to cut the tags off though, it does scratch against your skin if you leave it there. I like the magnetic pocket and the zipper pocket, but I wish it were divided equally 2:2 instead of 3:1. The size fits well, enough that it’s not slipping all the time if I have it on my hips. But having more zipper pockets would help prevent more heavier items from falling out if you’re on a run. The magnetic pockets are good for lighter items like money or cards; anything heavier might fall out, so best to keep it in the zipper pocket, like your keys or phone. That said, I do like the magnetic pockets for those lighter items, because it’s more convenient to open and grab your money real quick for a purchase without struggling with a zipper. It’s nicer to be more conspicuous. Overall, I like the pocket band because of the convenience and how discrete you can hold your belongings, without digging thru some bag that could be stolen. I bought this for traveling, and I like the anti-theft concept of wearing this under my shirt so no one pick-pockets my small valuables in tourist hotspots. As a running belt, though, I think it could use more work for practicality. Regardless, I think it’s still good quality for the cost of something like this, compared to other options I found. I like this enough that I’ll probably buy more in other colors to go with different outfits; because I find myself using this even when I’m not traveling, like just out for a quick errand, because of how minimalist-friendly it is.

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.

I was on the fence about buying this since most of the reviews I found were from women about a woman’s experience with the product, but I bought it anyways and have taken it for a few runs. Here’s a man’s review for a fellow male looking to buy this as a running belt. I’ve had it for a few weeks now. I am a size 32 waist and bought the Small size (for waists 28-32). It fits great. At first I thought it might be too tight. But if you’re going to load this thing like I do, you want it tight so it holds everything with little/no bounce. It’s not uncomfortably tight either, it’s great. So I’d recommend going with the smaller size if you are in-between sizes. This thing holds all of my stuff and holds it well. I bring my phone, AirPods, clif bar, windbreaker, and a full flat-ish 16oz water bottle with me. It fits all those things and could fit more. And, there is little to no bounce, even with my fairly large water bottle in the back right pocket. Way better than my 2L Fanny pack that was bouncing up and down on my buttocks. It’s easy enough to remove and replace items as well without stopping, though I do slow down usually. I’ve taken this on 5-9 mile runs and trail runs, it’s done great. I may want a second since it does get sweaty, but that’s no fault to the product. In conclusion, 5 stars. Fits everything, stays secure, little to no bounce. Highly recommend for other male runners out there. Update: I’ve taken this on longer 13-18 mile runs now, and it does ok. However, have noticed bouncing at these longer distances. I think the fabric stretches after so many ups and downs from the impact of my steps. However, with a wash, it resets and is tight again. Perfect for short runs, but will probably use a pack for 13+ miles.

This running belt is ok for non-sweaty activities (not running unless you don't sweat or wear it on top of thick clothing. It is an ok and averagely priced belt to try if you're not sure you will be using it or plan to use it for non-sweaty activities. I have had this belt for a little over a year and worn it for many different activities, sweaty and non-sweaty. After a year of use it doesn't show much sign of wear. I tend to wear it over waistband of pants but under a shirt. Pros: It fits my iPhone 12pro max with tough case, some cash, AirPods case, and a few other items just fine. This baby has lots of room! The entire belt is essentially a stretchy pocket broken into 4 segments. I got it in black so it blends in with black leggings nicely. It is smooth and nice against bare skin. It is moisture wicking and soaks up sweat like a sponge (this is also a con) Has a zipper pocket and fold over pockets that hold items nicely Great for relaxed walks, shopping, travel, road trips (you won't drop your phone in the public toilet unlike if it's in the back pocket of your jeans), and makes a nice concealed pocket when your clothes lack pockets. It does not have a clasp or buckle that could irritate skin or fail. Washes well with athletic apparel, I hang dry on a hanger in my closet as we don't have many warm dry days here in Alaska. Cons: It is moisture wicking but does not have a barrier between the panel that rests against your body and the pockets for your stuff. So your stuff gets soaked with sweat if you use it for activities that you actually sweat. Since this is intended for running.... not ideal. I dislike having a sweaty phone and what not. It is very slow drying. Still damp 20 ish hours after last use. It is a closed circuit design, which when soaked in sweat is not fun to pull over your head or down your body to get out of. Think sweaty sports bra or leggings but with your phone in it. Not good for running, hiking, hot yoga, cycling, gardening, yard work, summer festivals, splash events, theme parks (this will not keep your phone dry!). Would not recommend for individuals that struggle pulling garments over their head/shoulders/large bust or for individuals who struggle stepping into and pulling garments up over large hips/bottom as it can be a bit tricky. The tag inside can be itchy but I keep forgetting to cut it out. Overall I still get lots of use out of this product. I recently replaced it with something that keeps the contents dry and has a clasp for sweaty activities. I like it as an extra pocket for when you wear clothes that don't have pockets or if I need something that I do not want to worry about the buckle coming undone. It is quite comfortable for long wear (when not soaked in sweat).

I originally ordered this belt for myself for working out and travel but the M was too large. Phoning the customer support number that came with the belt I was so happy at how nice they were and said no worries on exchanging it for a S. HOWEVER, before I returned it I decided to mention it to my assistant for her dad who has to wear a colostomy bag and also a long shirt of sport jacket to cover/hide the bag. When he came by my office I suggested he try it on and see if it would work for him as he did not like the wraps that came with the bag or the ones that could be ordered. He tried it on and it fit him and he was able to put the bag in and keep it hidden. The fabric is anti-bacteria and max dry technology this might be the answer for him. He came in the office today and thanked me again. He turned the belt inside out and upside down, the colostomy bag slips in easily and it all lays nice and flat allowing him to wear his normal clothes and no longer the sports jacket. Add to the great customer service - Stashbandz called me today to ask when I would be sending the M back as they were concerned the replacement would not be to me in time for my upcoming trip. WOW.. When I told them the story and how I was so jazzed about giving it to him instead of sending it back because it was going to make his life with the cbag so much easier they offered to send me a replacement at no costs and an extra band for my friend’s dad so he would have one to wear at all times. WOW again. What a great company. I will surely order these in a few more colors.

Great fit. Doesn’t slip or stretch out. Have run with this for years. Fits phone, small water, keys, tissue etc. Use the zipper pocket for money, credit and ID cards. I learned to do this when I had cards rise up and slip out of the no zip pockets.

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.

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

The seller was very helpful. Nice and it very easy to wear.

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! :)
