What is the name given to the bags that are worn around the waist?

The bags that are worn around the waist are commonly called fanny packs or bum bags. They are small bags with a zippered pouch that is worn by fastening it around the waist with an adjustable strap. Fanny packs are worn with the bag positioned at the front, side, or back of the waist. They are typically used to hold small personal items such as wallets, keys, mobile phones, and sunglasses, providing easy access to these items without the need for a larger bag or backpack. Fanny packs gained popularity in the 1980s and became a fashion trend. They were particularly popular among tourists and travelers who wanted a convenient way to carry their essential items while keeping their hands free. Although the fashion popularity of fanny packs declined in the late 1990s, they have recently made a comeback and are now considered a functional and stylish accessory. The term 'fanny pack' is more commonly used in North America, while 'bum bag' is the preferred term in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.
