When I reviewed the product on their site, FB wrote back and said the issue is the belt is actually too small of a size and sent me the next size up for free. (For reference, FB chart says inches-wise I'm XS, but I bought the small because their rep at an expo said most people prefer it not so snug. They then sent me a medium.) The problem is, I'm an hourglass figure, and while the bigger size helped a bit, it still slid up to my waist.

If I put it a little too high it does, but a slight adjustment once resolves that issue (I have small hips, too). They come in different colors, but I chose black as I wanted it to be subtle. Also two pockets, both with zippers, and a small unzippered one. I got an i-phone 6 this weekend and was please to learn that it fits in the pocket. The back pocket is on the right; you don't feel the phone. I put my i-pod in the front pocket and don't feel that either. As a matter of fact, when I get home I sometimes forget I have it on at all. I prefer these styles to fanny-packs, for sure, and I like that no one can see my phone.<br /><br /><br />I would consider this one for the futureConnie Ciampanelli - RIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199554842449972940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-40233466391636030102015-08-01T05:49:45.934-05:002015-08-01T05:49:45.934-05:00I think it's similar to the FlipBelt, but with...I think it's similar to the FlipBelt, but with the zippers, everything is secure.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-8831975053404080642015-07-31T18:56:57.856-05:002015-07-31T18:56:57.856-05:00This looks sweet!!
