bum bags

Hip-worn storage pouches

Bum bags are small pouches worn on a strap around the waist, used for carrying essentials like keys, wallet, and phone.

The British term references where the bag sits—on the bum (backside)—though many wear them in front.

Americans call them fanny packs.

I keep my passport in my bum bag when traveling.
