It's the size of many women's purses....LOL, and weighs 6 or 7 lbs...LOL. I've got it as tight as it goes, and it hangs around my hips like a gunsligers belt, or a very short apron. I was thinking of something more petite, I guess...more work-around-able...I have hang on to it so it doesn't slip right down to my ankles...should have come with shoulder straps....hahahahaha.

    new look
    Hi phrannie51,

    Belt and suspenders, now that is a look for you. Are you sure you didn’t get the deluxe kit, with something to drink and GPS? Well, it is only right that you look like a gunslinger, living in Montana and all. Remember John said to take it off and put it on the coffee table while you sleep on the couch (or something like that). I really don’t know who to call to custom tailor it for you, a dress maker or saddle maker?

    Good luck, be comfortable,

    Matt

    Over The Shoulder...
    P51...

    Most of the time I was either too lazy...or in all honesty, wasn't going to wear a fanny pack.

    So I would just sling the strap over my shoulder, or cross strapped over the opposite shoulder.

    Anyways, might be something for you to try.

    Best,
    John

    fanny pack ?
    hah hah,

    no it's a "PHRANNIE PACK". just for you.

    but I think you definitely need suspenders. You're just a little bitty thing, you can't be carrying that around with you. Maybe they have a smaller version ? Can't hurt to ask.
    Maybe you'll have to be creative and see if you can fashion yourself some sort of sling.

    Good Luck !

    Fanny Pack
    Im sure you look marvelous with your Pack no matter how you wear it. Just a shout out to say hey and so glad you are getting close to the end of your treatments. Ps I think somewhere in the Bus may be a Fanny Pack Holder, I will read the manual and get back to you.

    Hey Tim.....that thought was almost a reality....
    the first pair of jeans I was wearing were hip huggers...Greg finally said, did you know you've had plumbers crack for the last two hours....I didn't realize the pack had pulled my pants down...I went and got on some high waisted pants...LOL
