I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with my phone when I want to run. For me, music is a must-have while doing any sort of outdoor activity, but I can’t stand wearing my phone on my arm in a holder so I usually end up holding it in a hand. Running and holding a phone never ends up well, so you can guess how many times my phone has skidded across the pavement.

Recently, as part of a SweatPink Ambassador program I was able to try out a FlipBelt. What is a FlipBelt? FlipBelt is basically a single, tubular waistband designed to snugly carry all of your necessities without any bouncing or bulkiness. It has multiple openings to stick your keys, phones, cards or cash in, then you simply flip the belt over to lock in the items. There are no buckles or zippers to cause any chafing for those who have more sensitive skin. The fabric is a quick-drying, machine washable and dryable fabric that has just enough stretch to fit a decent size phone (they say the only one that may not fit is the Note 2).

This is one of those neat things I wish I would have invented. It makes SO much sense and is executed perfectly. FlipBelt comes in a variety of colors and sizes so that you get a perfect fit and make sure that FlipBelt works how it’s designed to. You want it to fit snugly around your waist and to not bounce, so accurately measuring your waist is important. I have a 29″ waist, so I ordered the medium in a hot pink and love the fit.

Some of the ways I plan on wearing my FlipBelt are:

• Running
• Walking the dog (poop bags fit in the FlipBelt too)
• Hiking
• Bike rides
