Definitions
An American name for a fanny pack — that small zippered pouch worn strapped around the waist that has gone from dorky tourist accessory to genuine fashion statement. Called a 'bum bag' in the UK and Australia, the belly bag sits right at your midsection and keeps your essentials hands-free. Once the butt of jokes, belly bags came roaring back as a streetwear staple in the 2010s and haven't left since.

Another name for a fanny pack (American English) or bum bag (British English) — the small zippered pouch worn on a belt around the waist or hips.

Whether you're hiking, hitting a festival, or just want your hands free while running errands, the hip pack has made a massive fashion comeback after years of being unfairly mocked.
