Bum bag... I know I know!!

Would a bum bag be a ridiculous idea for soft play etc?
I leave my massive nappy bag with the buggy, but then my pockets are bulging with phone/ keys/ money. Small cross body bags just get in way when wrangling baby and toddler. So my cunning idea is a bum bag!!
Yay or nay to bumbags??

I use one sometimes when travelling to free up hands/shoulder. Very useful and I don't care if it's not stylish.

They must be back in with all the 90s stuff. I've seen a couple on trendy students recently. OP you will be ahead of the curve!

I have to wear a bum bag in work, I'm very pleased they are re-trendy! Grin

I bet they've got them on asos. Hmmm tempted!

Tbf, soft play = not exactly the most fashion conscious of venues, (round here anyway), so even if they weren't back at the forefront of trendiness you'd prob be ok.

They're so useful I think it's silly to view them as a fashion accessory. I've always taken one on holiday and last winter, when my back was too bad to carry a bag, I wore one, holster style (fastening just below armpit) under my coat.

Turneeps · 17/07/2017 09:44

Awesome! I am going to get one, and will wear it with pride Smile

They've got them in TK Maxx at the mo!

I got one to take on holiday last year and use it pretty much every day to hold poo bags, phones, purse etc on dog walks. They are ridiculously useful/practical!

Mine is a bit like this m.asos.com/herschel-supply-co/herschel-supply-co-exclusive-fifteen-camo-bumbag/prd/8313496?clr=woodlandcamo&SearchQuery=bum%20bag&pgesize=95&pge=1&totalstyles=95&gridsize=2&gridrow=23&gridcolumn=1

Running shops often have more subtle, flat ones which would do the job for a phone, keys and a thin purse.

kneesupfatty · 17/07/2017 17:03

I wear one every day for dog walking too!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/07/2017 17:06

You've just taken me back to being a teenager. When my bumb bag was permanently attached to me.
--I remember one time I accidentally forgot it and I started freaking out.

kneesupfatty · 17/07/2017 17:06

Asos have loads of them - we're bang on trend! Wink
