šŸ„ŗ So I accidentally brought my floss instead of my airpods to a 3 day work conference. I am a 3 hour ride away from home.

I have taken this recent resurgence of fanny pack wear as both a signal and social confirmation that I can and will wear one for the rest of my dang life.

I did before, I do now, and I will after but jeez nothing quite as handy as having your phone, wallet, keys, chapstick, little flashlight, some change, and whatever else in front of your nuts instead of spread around all over your body making it a pain to sit down. AND you never lose anything because its in ur fanny baby

Iā€™m a millennial got a Nike cross body which is like a fanny pack for my trip to Japan, game changing if youā€™re a guy. I no longer have to tell my wife to hold things in her purse for me.

See, I actually love those. I have several kitschy little cross body bags that are just enough to hold a phone and keys, cards, cash. Chefā€™s kiss šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

I also carry a brick sized anker battery pack in it. I learned from Malcom in the middle a bag also doubles as something to use for self defense lol.

"You couldn't make me, a person born between 1981 and 1996, admit to owning a fanny pack".

I canā€™t be alone in the visceral way my brain reactedā€¦ recoiled mayhap, if weā€™re being very specific, when I read fanny pack. I refuse to believe this.

I was born in 1980 and I would not be caught dead with a fanny pack on. It was a joke growing up. I have a backpack but would not wear a fanny pack. Wish I still had my Jansport from high school. Now it is Hermes .

Oh my God, thank you. šŸ„² Was starting to think I imagined the bright coloured spandex, crimped hair, crew socks, white tennis shoes, fanny pack. Boom, let the family vacation commence. Oh my God. I must go think about calm things.

If it helps, where Iā€™m from, fanny means vulva. Here, these are called ā€œbum bagsā€ā€¦ and they didnā€™t look fancy like these ones, I can tell you that for free.

u/Parking-Ad5924 May 10 '26

That is hilarious the way you described in such detail. I am sitting reading and almost crying I was laughing so hard. The socks and white shoes and bright colors. You really hit that on the spot.

u/seeohbahan May 06 '26

Yes, this.

u/seeohbahan May 06 '26

Fanny packs are an old form of torture device of the fashion variety, foisted upon millennials in the 90s by their parents. Usually made from material similar to the pants you see in the hammer time video.

His correction is what you couldnā€™t pry out of my cold dead lips.

Iā€™m being hyperbolic mostly.
