Flip Belt

[Spinning_22]

Has anyone used a 'Flip Belt' for running 🏃?

When I started I held my phone but began using a light money belt purchased for our holiday. I'm not keen on wearing one of those arm band things.

The Flip Belt looks good but I wondered if anyone in here had used one.

Thanks for any advice and suggestions.

Just got one, bleddy great. Size wise theyre stretchier than you might think so probably go smaller rather than larger.

Oh thanks KnittyGritty for your helpful advice I've been looking at them for ages after they popped up on my FB but wasn't sure if they were any good.

Do you know whether they'd accomodate an iPhone 7? I was debating whether I needed one with the zip or whether the design holds it in place without the zip. of couse there's easier access without a zip.

Thanks for the advice regarding sizing, I'm a size 14/16 but more 16 for trousers so assumed the large would be best fit. I'm definitely not 10-12 (well not since having my daughters!) and assumed the medium would be on tight side.

I absolutely love mine. I never bother flipping it so the openings are against my skin and have never lost anything. It makes it easier to get my phone in and out if the slits are facing out. I ended up getting a smaller size than I thought I needed because they didn't have "my size" but it's never been too tight or an issue. It mayride up slightly but it's not uncomfortable and it is under my shirt anyways.

Thanks for the positive feedback SaskAlliecat i think I'll definitely get one. They looked better than the money belt I'm using ATM as they sit flatter against the body,

Do yo know if they accommodate an iPhone7?

Thanks for the sizing tip, I'm a size 14/16 but more towards a 16 on the bottom. I thought a large (14-16) would therefore be best. I'm definitely not a size 10-12 so thought this would be on the tight side.

I have one as well and also wear it with the holes out for easier access to phone etc. I like it both for utility and comfort wise.

[Spinning_22 Graduate in reply to Lavender1962]

Thanks Lavender1962 after reading your review KnittyGritty and SaskAlliecat reviews i will definitely get one.

Hoping the belt will fit an iPhone 7.

Now to decide, whether to go with zip or without?

[KnittyGritty in reply to Spinning_22]

Sorry only just saw your question, theyre quite stretchy, mine fits a Galaxy s7 fine and I'm sure a bigger phone would fit. No zips but i flip it over for security. Wear mine inder my top and so fat nothings pinged out, it seems quite secure!

[Spinning_22 Graduate in reply to KnittyGritty]

Thanks KnittyGritty , been looking at them again tonight. Definitely going to get one, think I'll probably go for the classic rather than the zip version to see if I like it.

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

I would think you should be able to get an iPhone 7 in it, it has a lot of stretch but can't say from experience. I still have an iPhone 5

Thanks SaskAlliecat

I tried a flip belt but couldn't keep it flat enough to work, I'm just too shaped still, so to speak!

Eventually I found this one which I love, I use it for cleaning, walking, at work - nobody notices it and it is so comfortable. I can squeeze my 5.5" mobile into it, but they do have different sizes.

Thanks LonelyWalker I've seen these as well but wasn't sure about them staying put and thought might be bulky.

I bought a similar belt from amazon made by build and fitness. Its great, holds my phone, keys and flipbelt bottle just like the real thing ( had to buy the original flipbelt bottle ). needed a medium for a size 12.

[Spinning_22 Graduate in reply to little-anne]

Thanks little-anne I'll have to have a look and do some research

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

Yes, I got a cheap copy from Amazon, cost a fiver, and I really like it. It stays put, doesn't jiggle about or ride up...

[Spinning_22 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thanks Curlygurly2 I'll do some more research
