Pocket Construction: Spun polyester interfacing is sewn inside the lining of the pocket to provide structure and is not intended to be removed. The interfacing adds 3/16" thickness and will soften with wear.
Care: Machine or hand wash delicate, cold with like colors. No iron, no bleach. Hang to dry.
Please note: the design of our Pocketed Belts allows for a fit range of 28" to 42". Measure yourself where you would wear the belt (we suggest the high hip) and if your measurement falls within that range the belt will fit. If you need a few more inches, you can add an extender. With the extender added the belt will size down to 36" and stretch up to 54" Please note: When the belt is laid out flat it will measure ~32". The stretch of the fabric allows for the fit of 42"
Pocketed Belts fit most low waist sizes 28" to 42”. If you need a larger waist size, we offer an extender which increases the fit up to 54”. Look for the extenders on our SHOP page.
Our Pocketed Belt can accommodate most phone sizes. Pocket dimensions are: 7.5" x 3.5". Most phones are 6" x 3” or less.
What can I fit in my BANDI Belt?
Cash, cards, ID, phone, keys, passport, lip balm, small sunscreen, asthma inhaler, insulin pump, tickets, receipts, sports GU, chomps or gel, EPI pen, medicine, coins, dog treats.
BANDI belts are meant to be sleek in appearance so don’t stuff them too full!
How many pockets does a BANDI Belt have?
Technically speaking the BANDI Pocketed Belt has 2 pockets, but we like to say it has 3 places to put things. The main pocket is divided so you can keep your phone separate from your cards and cash. A separate pocket to the side of the main pocket is great for non-flat items like keys, lip balm etc. The main pocket is divided by a stiff poly stabilizer that is sewn in. This provides structure, stability and protection for your valuables.
How do you wear a BANDI Belt?
The BANDI belt is designed to be worn around the low waist (or high hip).
There is a low-profile buckle that allows you to put the belt on and take it off with ease (no having to step in or pull over your head). You can adjust the fit by sliding the tri-glide adjuster. The pocket opening is worn against the body and we recommend placing the main pocket just off center closer to your right hip.
(We recommend watching our video to see it in action!)
How do I care for man BANDI Belt?
We recommend hand wash in cool water and hang or lay flat to dry. Do NOT use bleach. Do NOT iron. Basically, care for your BANDI the same way you would care for a swim suit or lingerie.
Will the BANDI Belt stay put when I run?
We can confidently say, “Yes" it should not ride up, as that is our experience after extensive testing and many positive customer comments and feedback. We do have a generous return policy in the event that it doesn’t work for you. Keep in mind everyone's body shape is a little different and we can't guarantee it will work for everyone for running.
What activities would a BANDI Belt be good for?
Running, walking the dog, a stroll on the beach, a cruise and other vacation and travel activities, hiking, biking, attending concerts, sporting events, tail-gating, kids soccer games, swim meets, night-clubbing, shopping, horse-back riding, golfing, gardening, amusement parks – basically a great alternative to lugging a purse around!
Can I use corded earbuds with my BANDI Belt?
YES! Part of the beauty of not having a zipper besides the fact that it makes the design sleek and soft, you can easily use your corded earbuds without having to fuss with a little hole to feed the cord through. The BANDI pocket is designed to carry your phone, with earbuds attached. No need to feed the cord through a hole. The cord follows the fold and it is easy to put your phone in and take it out.

I've lost enough weight that my jeans slide down if I try to put my keys and phone in the pockets when I walk the dog. I'm not yet ready to purchase new pants, so this is a really convenient way to have pockets. I needed the extender; hopefully, I'll get to the point where that won't be necessary. I saw this product in the Grommet newsletter.
Love my Bandi! The fabric is strong, stretchy, and beautifully soft. There’s plenty of room for my phone, keys, and cash. I’ll be ordering a black one next. Thanks!!

Thank you! So glad you like it!!
I love my bandi belt. It's soft, lightweight and comfortable, and at the same time strong and durable. It's perfect to carry my phone, or any other smaller items I need on my daily hikes with my dogs. Highly recommend!
I love mine! I wear it a little looser and a little lower just because that's how it feels best to me. It fits perfectly and is easy to use. I mainly use mine when I'm outside with my 2-year-old grandson. It allows my hands to be free and keeps my phone close in case of an emergency or if I want to take a picture.
As a lifelong sewist, I am very pleased with the quality of design, materials, and construction. The belt is spendy, particularly compared to the knockoff I've been using for several years but it seems worth it (as am I). My favorite way to wear an upgraded money belt like this is as an airline passenger and active Oma. I bought the extender as my weight and attire fluctuate quite a bit, and at just a few dollars extra, it's fine if it goes unused. I do wish that the secondary pocket was a tad larger to accommodate my micro-wallet. Terrific product.
I really like this product. It is well made and fits me well. The fabric is very soft and is not uncomfortable to wear. I do not use a key fob but an actual key for my car. I wish the key pocket was just a tad larger. I also wish there was a second small pocket for lip balm or whatever. Overall, I am very, very happy with this purchase. My darling husband wants one now also!!
This is my 10 year old granddaughter. I love my Bandi so much that I got her one. She either can't find her phone or drops it. A Bandi is a fashionable way to keep your things handy and hands free.
I love my bandi wear! I actually wanted it for my phone (my phone fits) but it serves me better as a crystal pouch! Lots of room for my favorite crystals. It is so sleek and sophisticated I’m able to wear it and it doesn’t even look off putting. It goes with all my outfits. Love!
I really love the feel and look of this Bandi!! When my coworker wore one I’m like, that thing is legit and cool looking, now I gotta get one. It is really helpful for us workers when we wear clothing without any pockets, it helps keep our little box cutters and pens in them, plus other items! It is really a great and helpful invention, thank you!
I bought two, then two more, then two more, then one more. I love them. I also bought the matching extenders.
I love shopping hands free. I also love walking my puppers hands free.
I ordered my bandi off an add . I liked the concept and appearance…so I figured it try it. I absolutely love It ! It fits well , appears well made, it’s attractive and functional. I’ve become an advertisement for your product!!😂
I was so happy to get it just in time to help a friend with HARVEST🍇 it was Really very comfortable and held my cell phone so I could listen to music and all important Lipstick 💄! I know what I will get for upcoming Gifts ! Love my multicolor *
The idea is great. The padding is way too much. It's over a quarter of an inch thick with nothing in it!
Other than that (which makes it stick out weirdly) it fits well. I have a Pixel 5 phone which isn't huge, and it seems like it would be a struggle to fit anything larger into the Bandi pocket.
It’s a great accessory to my summer T-shirt dresses that don’t have pockets! Perfect for carrying my phone, credit card and keys so I don’t have to take my whole purse for a quick errand. I’m looking forward to taking it on vacation this winter when I’ll just need to keep my room key with me while wandering around the resort!

Hope you like it! thanks for the picture!
Love this thing! I was surprised that the width is fixed for the pocket area, but it actually makes putting your phone or wallet in easier. Easily holds my iphone 14, wallet and keys and it goes with everything. Huge fan!
I loved the belt! Perfect for traveling. It could have been a tad bit less bulky but it's understandable so it can fit all cell phone types. Would totally buy again if I needed one.
My riding breeches have no pockets so this is perfect for riding. I have my phone, lip balm and a tissue and I'm all set. My Bandi belt is comfortable and stylish.
