    I'd wear a utility belt and a codpiece before I wore a fanny pack.

    What is a codpiece??

    A crotch fanny pack.

    Nope. Wallet, Pistol, Flask. They all fit in my pockets. It's not like I need makeup or a comb. I don't even carry my phone with me.

    Would you wear a fanny pack, not just for working out, but in social settings? As a man it isn't exactly socially acceptable to carry a purse (not a fan of satchels), nor do I have the desire to do so, but I also hate having things in my pockets. A fanny pack would allow me to carry keys, my wallet, phone, pocket knife when needed, etc. hands-free without having to load the limited capacity of my pockets and restrict my movement. I am curious to hear your thoughts on this, particularly the men who historically have not had the luxury of purses. #bringbackthepack

    I think a satchel is more socially acceptable than a fanny pack. I carry a satchel and see quite a few other men around who carry a satchel as well. I have a nice leather one and then a more casual sling pack. I hate having *kitten* in my pockets.

    These are similar to what I have...

    I met a guy who wore a fanny pack and my first thought was, "NERD!" But he always had it on, and he totally owned it. It quickly became pretty sexy, how he could own it like that and be so practical. After that, you just didn't notice it anymore. It was just part of his clothing, like a belt.

    If you were a woman you couldn't fit any of these into your pockets

    If I run out of pockets, my daughter helps out.qi0c5xsrwhjw.png

    Pretty sure a man using a purse or hand bag is about as socially acceptable as a bumbag.

    Just do what you want.

    But me, I would just use a back pack. I don’t know why women don’t use back packs instead of a handbags. Handbags just look to get in the way, you can’t run in a hand bag can you?

    And I’m sure you could get a back pack with a front strap that could be used to either secure the breasts like a sports bra or one that accentuates them like a push up bra.

    To each his own, but I personally don't like em and wouldn't wear it. Nor would I wear crocs, birkenstocks, tye dye, or skinny jeans. I'm not what you would call fashionable, but I know what I like and don't like.

    I'd rock a flip belt. It serves the same purpose as a regular fanny pack but not so bulky. Perfect for outdoors when you are exercising.

    I haven't in a long time, but I have when going to a theme park. I don't want to pay for a locker and you can't carry a purse on some rides.

    I like to wear a fanny pack when I'm out and about. Keep my wallet, keys, phone, lighter, and spoon in there.
