 I traveled Europe alone, this helped me feel safer. August 17, 2008
The money belt is a great concept, it was very usful, it was easy to conseal, and could hold all of my important documents. This was absolutely important for me to feel safe, and at no point did have have to wonder about passports,train tickets, credit cards and such. Few things would caution, it is that if you are traveling in warmer climates, it may be uncomfortable to wear, because of sweating, and the silk sticks to your skin. Due to this the belt may have to be washed a few times during the trip.The belt does come with a plastic inside pouch, but i found that the plastic got crumpled easily, from sitting. Although, it does help keep the important stuff from getting wet and damaged. Another warning is that the elastic waste, is a bit of cheap material, and i found that it wore itself down quite a bit during my trip. I may be only have one more use out of it , before i have to replace it. I suggest perhaps finding a belt with a better material to go around the waste. However, for sure the concept is the best for safe travels.
convenient in a pinch August 2, 2008
I bought this "just in case" for my recent trip to Europe. Only used it one time but it came in handy.I used it one day when going to the beach by myself. I never like to leave my belongings on the beach anywhere, so I ended up putting on my money belt. I have a little swim dress and just slipped the belt on underneath. I only had my hotel key card and some Euro coins in it but it worked out great while I went for a swim in the Mediterranean. I let it dry overnight and it was no worse for the wear.
 Great little belt June 25, 2008
I have never travelled internationally or thought i had a need for a money belt, so this concept was new to me. my main criteria were price and comfort and i believe this product met my criteria. i wore it probably 10 times and after putting it on, i forgot it was there until i took it off at night. accessing it in public was a little goofy as you had to expose your belly a little and it was a bit of a production to unbutton a few shirt buttons, expose the zipper and take out stuff, but it wasn't too bad. it has room for a bunch of paper money, your passport, a few credit cards, maybe a few plane/rail tix - not tons of room, but enough for the important stuff. i think the product does what it was designed to do well, however, if i were to do it again, i might opt for a neck walley - maybe one could fit a few more things (probably not really necessary) and seems more accessible and easier to put on in the morning. when you went to use the bathroom, it might get in the way a tiny bit but not big deal. if i do more travelling, i will consider the neck bag as a potential new purchase.
Great product....wonder about the elastic June 19, 2008

Works as promised. I took it on a long trip, and kept my cash in it. The only problems is the elastic waistband, which seems a little flimsy to me, and I wonder if it will maintain tension after a few uses.
Ok...but not great! June 17, 2008

I went on a cruise and bought this to keep with me at all times. It definately has pro's and cons
PROS
Keeps your things concealed
keeps your hand free (no lugging around a purse
CONS
Uncomfortable
Doesn't stay in place
you get sweaty in the place that it's at
really flimsy...one week of wear is all it has in it!
the band is way too long.
