Does anyone have one they LOVE? This is my go-to lately for outings, amusement parks, hikes....

I've been buying and returning now trying to find a good one. Been looking at TJ maxx and marshalls, but can't seem to find the perfect one???

I prefer a wider STRETCHY belt (i'm plus size), or one with a longer strap to adjust. Returned a few because they were too tight.
Prefer a larger pocket or two - but want it to sit kinda flush with my body - not too bulky
Must have zipper closures - no open belts since I plan on holding money/credit cards.
Waterproof is a plus
Holds an iphone 6(in a case) in a plus

Have you just considered something like a skort, short or Capri with zippered and/ or cargo pockets? I do well at amusement parks in my Athleta skorts. I can hold everything I need (usually lipgloss, credit card, ID, car key, phone, baggie with ibuprofen). I just use 2-3 layers of ziplock to protect my phone.

I have (had?) this https://www.nathansports.com/5k-waist-belt-4808n which I was lucky enough to score at a yard sale or something.

I say had b/c dd1 has hijacked it to carry her epipen! Sits flush to my body and I'm pretty sure it would hold a larger cell phone. Fits my plus size body just fine w/o adding bulk.

The training belt also looks interesting. https://www.nathansports.com/gear/training-paks-belts

oh man I like them both.... while checking out the nathan bags - they have a nathan marathon bag which is bigger.... i may go for this. Going to try to find a real picture of it on a person.

And i love the idead of the spibelt - i had something similar which was too small for my phone - but this come in a larger size which may work!

Thanks for the ideas!

My fave when I need only cash, a credit card, keys, phone.

My fave daily bag when I carry meds, inhaler, lip glosses, all my cards. Not a waist bag but easy to carry and stays secure next to my body.

ETA: For a true waist pack, I have a flip belt but I prefer the wider:

As a curvy, unfairly pear-shaped mom, the wider ones can be nice depending on what you are doing and the sizing. You do not want it too snug and I found that they are good for walking but tend to roll up on me when sitting. This necessitating some pulling and adjusting every time I get up.


Good luck!
