I have never used a fanny pack before. But when I seen this I wanted to finally give it a try and I am so happy that I did. I have went multiple places with this, and its so great. It fits more than you think, and it is so cute. The quality is extremely nice and unexpected with how nice it is. I wear it across my chest instead of the normal fanny pack way. For a long time I just used crossbody bags, but whenever you bend over they can go flying sometimes and still get in the way. With this, you can move around and not worry about that at all.
