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

I have this for my phone. It doesn't jiggle at all. Keys go in the zipped pocket of my running tights but they could go in the waist pack too.

I buy leggings that have a zip pocket for phones etc. It's usually situated across the top of your arse.

However, I also have a bumbag for longer runs requiring water etc, and it doesn't jiggle.

I have an arm band for my phone. A house key and bank card can fit in there too. I hate having my phone in my leggings pocket as it's too heavy and pulls them down.

Greggers2017 · 17/07/2017 17:01

Bum bag here too, especially for longer runs. If you pull it tight enough it won't jiggle

Watto1 · 17/07/2017 17:01

I have an armband for my phone and I tie my key into my shoelaces!

flipbelt.co.uk

I have a flipbelt, use it for all my runs including marathons. It holds my iPhone 7+, keys, tissues, gels without budging.

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

BrieAndChilli · 18/07/2017 23:16

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

RJnomore1 · 18/07/2017 23:17

Dh swears by his flipbelt

Wolfiefan · 18/07/2017 23:19

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

NoTimeToDillyDally · 19/07/2017 06:02

Googling and 'Amazoning' 👍🏼

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.

FV45 · 19/07/2017 07:46

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

NoTimeToDillyDally · 19/07/2017 08:45

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?

FV will look up Spi Belt before I fork out for a Flip Belt. Thank you. Smile

NoTimeToDillyDally · 28/07/2017 00:20

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!

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

NoTimeToDillyDally · 28/07/2017 17:33

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

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 !

Doje · 30/07/2017 09:16

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

WatchingFromTheWings · 30/07/2017 09:22

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.

NoTimeToDillyDally · 30/07/2017 09:42

Oooh will look those up too

PickleSarnie · 30/07/2017 18:15

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.
