caption_attribution_description: English: A woman in New York City sporting a red fanny pack.
context_page_description: A waist bag, or fanny pack, belt bag, moon bag, belly bag, or bum bag is a small fabric pouch worn like a belt around the waist by use of a strap above the hips that is secured usually with some sort of buckle. The straps sometimes have tri-glide slides, making them adjustable in order to fit properly. It can be considered as a purse worn around the waist.
  Although traditionally the bag was worn with the pouch at the front, the separate American and British names derive from the fact that they are often worn with the pouch above the buttocks, for which "fanny" and "bum" are the respective slang terms in each country. The British and Irish usage of "fanny" is vulgar slang for the vulva, so the name "fanny pack" is rarely used in those countries, or in Australia.
