Anyone know which is secure and won't bounce around? I don't want a bum bag as it'll irritate me jiggling around.
What do gym instructors use as theirs don't seem to jiggle much

@allpizzasgreatandsmall, I got a Moko one. It suits me just fine. There's no zips keeping things in which could be a problem, but I just take out my phone and keys (there's a thing that holds your keys safe). Just a note though, it sits on your waist under your clothes. Again, not a problem for me, but the flip belt seems to sit outside your clothes and on the hips.

I've been looking on Amazon at the cheaper versions of flipbelts, which did you get?

My dh bought a flip belt - the one without the zipped pockets. His phone fell out whilst running and smashedSad

Apple flavour gel?

I find the SIS ones bearable. The Apple flavour I think is nicest but none are brilliant.

Running really upsets my stomach and I found I could just tolerate those ones. Although was using Tailwind electrolyte drink while I was training for a marathon (that I didn't do in the end because I knackered my knee) and it was really nice and didn't upset my stomach at all.

Thanks Pickle. You've triggered my curiosity...what kind of gel?

PickleSarnie · 30/07/2017 18:16

Sorry. Forgot link. www.thebuddypouch.co.uk/BluegizmoShop/-p62031273

I have a Buddy Pouch. They come in two sizes. I have both. The XL fits my Samsung S7 but if you had a smaller phone then the smaller pouch would be fine I think.

Doesn't budge. Barely know it's there. I do have super grippy leggings though. If your leggings don't have enough stating power then it might weigh it down I suppose.

I love mine. Fits my phone, keys and a gel.

I've got this:

I can fit my inhaler in there too.

There are cheaper versions of the flipbelt on Amazon too...third of the price of the proper ones.

Doje · 30/07/2017 09:16

I've got a cheaper version of the flipbelt - from Amazon.

stripeknee · 30/07/2017 09:12

another recommendation for spibelt, i follow a lot of runners (ultra runners and marathoners) on instagram and they all swear by spibelt, i have entered many giveaways to win another as they have so many nice prints which i dont need but would be nice !

Oh that's reassuring to hear as there were others (far cheaper ones) and I did wonder ...

Another flipbelt here. Heaps better than any other I've tried

Bought. Fit Belt and it's water bottle in the end. Wish I'd bought slightly larger size as I put the water bottle in it which makes it a bit tight
Good though!

Haha Auntie to specialist gels (Haribo minis). Genius!
I think I'll get a Flip Belt. There are a lot of cheaper versions though. Like that Flip belt has a water bottle that fits in it. Any good?

I've got a Spibelt. Really thin and stretchy. Works well for me.

AuntieStella · 19/07/2017 07:20

I've been buying too many running gadgets lately!

I found arm holders a fiddle (not because it was uncomfy, but because it was fiddly to use).

I've just bought a Flipbelt, and think it's great. One bit has a clip on elastic, so keys won't fall out. Phones are big enough that they won't anyhow. Not fiddly so easy to get Haribo minis specialist gels out easily.

I bought a bumbag from work play bags. It really doesn't jiggle at all.

RJnomore1 · 18/07/2017 23:17

Dh swears by his flipbelt

BrieAndChilli · 18/07/2017 23:16

I have a velcro arm phone holder that has a little compartment for a key too.

Defuzzing · 18/07/2017 23:12

I have a zipped compartment in the back of my running top & a velcro arm phone carrier.
