A silly poll

[malibu]

Brought to you by seeing not one, but two people wearing them on my way home last night.

These are a perfect example of function over fashion.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm not 73, so nay.

I love when I see people wearing Gucci fanny packs.

STILL A FANNY PACK, DUMB-DUMB.

[psychmom]

If I'm in a situation where a purse isn't practical, I usually find a backpack is the next best thing.

Hideous, but I DO wear a SPIbelt for running/horseback riding/on a motorcycle. Ok, it's a fanny pack I guess. But it's slim and fits under my shirt. I'm so confused and kind of hate myself.

[luckyval]

European carry alls people - look in to them!!!

[Gato]

Fanny packs have been great for my parents. I don't care how old and hobbled my back gets, I will never, ever wear one.

Someone at work had that Kathy Lee show on the other day and they were showing their "favorite products" under a certain price. One was a "fashionable" fanny pack. No.

AHEM, i believe you mean "belt purse." they're being rebranded like "dried plums."

I totally forgot that I use one of these when I answered no. Apparently I had convinced myself that it isn't a fanny pack. It so is.

I had to look this up. "Small Personal Item Belt."

lol, it is a stretchy fannypack.


I'm sorry.

[KKD]

I can't say I'd never wear one, because they were totally the thing for our grade school field trips, but I would absolutely never wear one again. Rebranded or not.

[vallarta]

My husband proposed with a ring he carried in a fanny pack. True story.

[Deleted]

I remember having a nylon, neon fanny pack I wore to Disney World. I carried my autograph book, bright pink heart shaped sunglasses and a pencil in it. But I mean that was about 3 years ago so I totally wouldn't wear one now.





I kid. But for a 3rd grader I thought I was hot shit.

[VeryViolet]

I have an uncle that wears a fanny pack to carry around his medical marijuana.

[Deleted]

I just voted "Functional and attractive" because it was the best fit - I think they're functional and I would not be against wearing one (but I have no illusions about them being attractive). I simply don't care about what I look like most of the time, so if I had a reason to wear one, I would. That said, I tend to either go with cargo pants or a backpack to carry things, and very occasionally a purse.

[agnes]

My grandma uses her fanny pack as a purse. She carries it around in her hand not on her waist.

[snickers]

No. Just no.

[Deleted]

Mmm...Twix

[auntie]

My niece wears one when she travels to developing countries. Her friends make fun it her unmercifully. Especially her friend who lived in ireland. Evidently "fanny" is a slang term for the vag there.

[estrellita]

Hahaha.. I won a "nice" one at my dad's work party once. I realized how useful it was for hiking so I did use it a couple times. Then I decided those drawstring backpacks were much more attractive so I went back to using one of those. I admittedly sort of want them to be in fashion just because they're so useful, but until then, it's staying packed away in a closet somewhere

[shostakovich]

I wear one running. I have no regrets, because I can load it up with ibuprofen and jelly beans, and also put my ID in there in case I die.

[underwaterrhymes]

I ROCK a fanny pack for distance events (gotta have my Body Glide, ibuprofen and gels!), but that's about it.
