Headbands and Fanny Packs

When I walk or run I tend to sweat and sometimes the sweat drips into my eyes. This causes pain. I don't like pain. Would it look incredibly stupid to wear a head band? How do other people handle this problem. Also, does anyone use a fanny pack to carry their keys/phone, pepper spray, etc? Would you make fun of someone wearing a fanny pack? My friends said they would point and laugh.

You can camouflage both of them so people can't notice them if it bother you that much what people are doing while you exercise. I normally in my own world when I workout.0

get a hydration pack. I have a Nathans. I love it.
You could do this instead of the mace.

Headbands while working out are OK.How do other people handle this problem.
I carry a small towel.Also, does anyone use a fanny pack to carry their keys/phone, pepper spray, etc? Would you make fun of someone wearing a fanny pack? My friends said they would point and laugh.
On a woman, it's OK. For a guy, he would have to turn in his MAN Card first.0 -

I lol @ the term 'fanny pack' every time I see/read it. :laugh: Sooooo funny. But I don't laugh at people who wear the hip packs. They're useful.
Now, your pepper spray won't do you any good if it's put away. When I walk out around the lake or at the park I carry my pepper spray, unlocked, and ready to spray. I keep my taser in my pocket.0 -
Don't make fun of my headband!

I wear a Spibelt, it's not big at all like a fanny pack but fits my phone, keys, and gels in no problem. It's hardly noticeable under a long tank or shirt!0

...I think fanny has a different meaning in the UK. :noway: :laugh:
But, I know plenty of runners who wear them. It's convenient.0 -
sweat stays out of my eyes because of my awesome hipster hair.0

I wear a bandana on my head to protect my scalp from sun and also to keep sweat from my eyes.
I also wear a fanny pack to keep my things in. No one has ever pointed at me, and if they did, well, I'm not trying to impress anyone during a workout anyway.0 -
Who cares you'll be the one with the hot body and you can point and laugh at their flab later on.0

LOL the grease helps to wick it away0 -
I carry my key in the key pocket in my shorts. Also, by the running tops that have the pockets for smaller things such as mace or keys or gel packs...whatever...
i use headbands ( like the rubber band types) to keep my hair out of my face...and if it is super hot i may take something with me like a bandana in case i need it... but i don't carry a fanny pack....0 -
You could get implants and keep many, many things tucked in the cleave. Be sure to have an excellent sports bra.

YES IT DOES!
I was in a pub in Wales once. I told a young girl (maybe 8 years old) that if she didn't leave me alone I was going to smack her in the fanny. About 30 older Welshman were about to jump on me!0 -
As a Brit I just had to come here and laugh at the phrase 'fanny pack'.
That is all.0 -
I wear both as needed, but then I also wear tights at Ren Faire, so I am pretty much unfazed by other people's opinions.0

Why does it matter what anybody else thinks about you0

for the head band, talk to lebron
i would point and laugh at you in a fanny pack, but i'd laugh more heartily at someone who avoided something they thought they needed just to 'be cool'.
actually i guess i do that daily lol0 -
Get a BondiBand, silly! Or something like it. They sell them at most running stores. A race I signed up for recently allowed a switch for a BondiBand instead of a shirt (I have a lot of race shirts). I love the thing to alleviate sweat running down from my hair line, and it makes it so I don't have to pin my bangs back. http://www.bondiband.com/0

Wait what's it mean...I'm assuming sodomy? Can I say sodomy on MFP without getting a strike? I'm asking for educational reasons.
What do they call fanny packs or hip packs whatever they are in the UK?0 -
I wipe my brow to prevent sweat running into my eyes. It's a novel idea
Fanny pack is perfect if you are a retired old man. Especially if you're wearing jorts and a hawaiian t-shirt.0 -

Believe me, there isn't a dry spot on my entire shirt within 30 minutes of starting my workout. I rain sweat.0 -
