This post will be short and sweet, but I just got back from my first run with my new FlipBelt and I LOVE IT!! Seriously love it. My friend, Lynda, had first mentioned it on FB and I was instantly intrigued. The belt I’ve used for years is OK but really didn’t hold enough for races. And also, I am rather hippy, and no matter how many times I tried to keep it around my hips, it was always riding up around my waist and I can’t stand things around my waist when I’m running (I swear it makes me nauseous and I know that doesn’t make sense but it’s true – and I deal with enough stomach troubles during races without my belt causing more!).

I ordered the medium instead of the small because their sizing chart said go a size bigger if you’re wearing it around your hips. It held my iphone flat against my body, no bounce, easy to access, and I didn’t even worry once that it would fall out. In the video (below) they show you how you can flip it around if you’re worried about that, but truly it wasn’t even a consideration. And the best part? I forgot I had it on!! I didn’t have to tug at it or adjust it even once.

Also, because the belt goes all the way around, there’s plenty of room for tissues, my energy chews, and my room key/cash when I’m doing a race. OK, that’s all for today! Off to work! And here’s the video from their website – it really does work as advertised.

Happy Running!!
