That's hilarious. Careful with the term 'waist bag' though. If someone hears it as 'waste bag' then there's a potential association with an ostomy.

Hmmm ... I think next time I put on a rectal bag (not personally) I'll start calling them fanny packs. I wonder if it will catch on ....

Rectal bag = ... butt bag, or bum bag [A.K.A. fanny pack]

To keep the excess ladies away. A form of birth control.

"Fag Bags"... that brings back memories... In the Army (Corvette Guy surely has seen them) *** bags were a bag were vehicle TM's and dispatches were kept that were often "converted" to a purse by attaching a strap that ran from the top end of one side to the other end. Some were specialized and came into their own by being designed with pen/pencil holders and map holders... Soldiers would often (like I did) sew their MOS insignia, unit patches, and name tags, and specialty devices (airborne wings, etc...) *** Bags rule! Anything to look different from rest! LOL!!! No I'll never wear a fanny pack!

Kinda but not exacly like this...

Yes. There ain't no such thing as "too many pockets".
Not that I'd wear a fannypack I'd just "stitch" som'more pockets


cheers,
I just got a pair of mens Landau scrub pants with cargo type DOUBLE pockets on the legs w/o the button down flap on top. They have Elastic (UGH) and drawstring (ok) Waist. In the catalog they also have some cargo pant scrubs with BELT LOOPS (YEAH) Also try JC Penny's workwear catalog, they have some cargo pants that you can order in white, and they are pants!! I can to back to no underwear then!!

No fanny packs for me if I am not hiking, I dont care what I need to carry. In the Army we calle them "Butt packs" and in the infantry we lived out of them for several days at a time.

Re: Why the fanny packs?

I do not wear a fanny pack, but I do think that they are very practical. Cargo pockets are my prefered method, but I understand why some men prefer the fanny pack.

As a side note, in my school, the ladies' uniforms have cargo pocket pants, four pockets on the shirt top, and 2 HUGE pockets on their apron thing. Now, the men's uniform only have the hand pockets on the pants and 2 pockets on the shirt top! GO FIGURE. We have the same stuff to carry during clinical, but far less places to put everything.
