Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag Review: What It Holds + Why You Need It

Short trips and the bare minimum for the win!

This fanny pack is perfect for my style and I was actually surprised how much I could fit into it.

I actually used it as a diaper bag today and can’t wait to show you everything I got inside.

It was amazing and everything I needed on the go.

First Impressions of this Lulu Fanny Pack

First off, I am OBSESSED with this color – it’s so happy and feminine!

But as for the bag itself, WOW is it light!

According to my kitchen scale, it weighs just 6.5 ounces – that’s about as much as a box of 12 K-Cups (seriously go lift it up if you’ve got one in your kitchen).

If you prefer to carry a bag that feels like you’re not wearing one at all, this is definitely the right choice.

Opening the main compartment, I was also blown away by how much room there was and knew I’d be able to fit at least a diaper or two plus wipes and my wallet inside.

Well, wouldn’t you know it!

Switching my baby wipes out from their “official dispenser” into a zip lock bag lets me pack extra light – I have 10 on hand.

The diapers here are Huggies size 3 (for my 11 month old).

And my micro-wallet is enough to hold 10 cards, some cash, and receipts.

I like to carry my phone and keys in my jacket pocket so, get this – I even had room for two snacks for the girls!

Seriously, this bag is perfect for those of us who prefer to pack light while being prepared.

More Lululemon reviews and comparisons:

How do you wear a Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag?

You can wear this fanny pack five ways:

Cross-body front
Cross-body back
Bum bag
Hip bag
Over your shoulder

Cross-Body Front

Wearing this bag across your chest gives you easy access to all of your things.

Need to pay for something? It’s there!

Want to give your kid that snack you packed earlier? Boom!

Cross-Body Back

This is my preferred way to wear this bag.

I like how minimal the strap feels across my chest and just pull up on the strap as if it were an escalator when I’m ready for the goodies I packed.

Bum Bag

It looks super cute this way and feels comfortable in the middle of your lower back or to one side.

Hip Bag

Kind of like the front cross-body look, wearing this fanny pack the way it was intended to be worn lets you have access to everything you need right away.

Over Your Shoulder

You can wear it like a purse too – if you really want to!

Is the Everywhere Belt Bag Waterproof?

No, the Everywhere Belt Bag is NOT Waterproof.

It is Water-Repellent.

This means that you can wear it from your home to your vehicle in a torrential downpour without worrying about the things inside getting wet!

But it’s not recommended for standing outside all day long in the rain like we tend to do here in the Vancouver film industry.

Everywhere Belt Bag Dimensions and Volume

The Everywhere Belt Bag measures 7.5″ x 2″ x 5″ (19cm x 5.5 cm x 13cm) with a 1L volume.

What is the Everywhere Belt Bag Strap length?

Fully extended, the strap length of this fanny pack is 35.75″ – I personally couldn’t get mine to go any longer with the thick double loop between the adjuster and clasp.

The other smaller clip-in section strap measures 1.5″.

How do I tighten my Lululemon Fanny Pack?

I personally found the adjustment strap on this bag quite stiff!

But it can be done with LOTS of patience.

To tighten your fanny pack:

lift and push up the longest part of the strap towards the plastic adjustment piece so that it forms a loop

pull up on the loop as much as you’d like to take in so that it sits in the middle of the adjustment piece

now, firmly pull the strap from the opposite side from the top section
weave the top part of the strap (between the clasp and the adjusment piece) through the strap connection piece of the clasp and pull to tighten the strap

try on your bag and adjust as needed!

Lululemon Belt Bag 1L vs 2L

As is obvious from their names, the carrying capacity is the most obvious difference between these two small and large Lululemon belt bag options.

In terms of dimensions, there is a noticeable difference between the length and width of the two though.

While the 1L is 7.5″ x 2″ x 5″ (19cm x 5.5 cm x 13cm), the 2L size measures at 21cm x 5.7cm x 14.6cm (8.3″ x 2.2″ x 5.7″) – the larger one is almost one inch longer and half and inch higher.

You can comfortably carry a small notebook and writing tools in the large one and it’s a great option for longer day trips out with small kids.

More diapers, wipes, snacks, and activities are always a good thing especially when you have more flexible timelines.

There’s also a noticeable difference in the looks of the bags themselves.

While the 1L size has cleaner sides with the belt attached to the bag itself, the larger 2L bag has flaps on the right and left hand sides to accommodate its larger size.

I would imagine this design feature prevents it from flipping forward and back but it does result in more of a backpack feel.

Personally, I’ve found the smaller size of the 1L more comfortable for our lifestyle though – I like to pack light and prefer a bag that feels like it’s not even there when we’re on the go.

The Everywhere belt bag 1L is currently available in the following color options:

Pink Pastel (the color you’ve been looking at in this review!)
Silver Drop
Black/Gold
White Opal
True Navy
Black
Allspice
Grey Sage
Terra Orange
Vapor/Persian Violet
White/Lulu Red (reminiscent of your typical Lulu shopping bag)
White/Black (same as above)
Wobbley Wordmark Deep Coal Black/Black
Wobbley Wordmark Atomic Purple Petrol Purple/Petrol Purple

If you prefer less branding, stick to the top nine choices as they only have the small metal logo in the bottom left corner. These options are more versatile as the heavily branded ones are have a distinct “sporty look” to them.

The Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L size is available in these colors:

Raspberry Coulis/Wild Berry
Purple Ash
Pitch Blue
Asphalt Grey
Black/White (hardware is silver, the belt has “lululemon” printed in white on it)
Nomad/Trench
Dark Forest
True Navy
Dark Lavender
Wine Berry
Utility Blue/Submarine
Trench (beige color)
Black/Gold (hardware is gold)
Rhino Grey
White Opal
Black
Grey Sage
Vapor/Rhino Grey (has an inspired by “Chicka-Chicka-Boom-Boom” look to it, haha)
Graphite Grey/Black (same print as above)

Again, the top 18 choices are more versatile because they aren’t heavily branded.

What is the Everywhere Belt Bag made of?

This Lulu fanny pack uses two materials:

Polyester
Nylon

The mesh and lining of the bag are both 100% polyester while the body is 100% nylon.

Where is the Everywhere Belt Bag made?

The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is made in Vietnam.

How to wash Everywhere Belt Bag?

Machine washing this fanny pack is NOT recommended.

Instead, spot clean it with Dawn dishwashing liquid, gentle detergent, or baby wipes!

I usually have WaterWipes in my bag anyway and use them to treat messes as they happen.

Lululemon also advises the following:

Do NOT bleach
Do NOT tumble try
Do NOT iron
Do NOT dry clean

Doing any of the above can result in unrepairable damage to your bag!

What is the Best Belt Bag?

This Lululemon Belt Bag is definitely my favorite!

I adore the minimal design and logos, micro but roomy interior space, and back pocket on this bag.

Everywhere Belt Bag Dupe

In my opinion, this fanny pack is the closest thing to the Everywhere Belt Bag.

It has the same minimal design and shape as the Lulu fanny bag plus it even has a little logo in the bottom right-hand corner – wow!

There are 12 color options to choose from and Light Pink is the closest to the bag I’m wearing in this post.

Even the inside of this EBB dupe is practically identical!

Now if you want to get really specific about your color options, check out this ZORFIN belt bag – there are 77 differenr colors to choose from!

The look is a bit different since there’s a bright gold zipper on the front of the bag and the shape is more rectangular than the Everywhere Belt Bag.

There are also two zippers at the opening of this bag.

Everywhere Belt Bag Review: Final Thoughts

Whether you’re always on the go, a mom, a light traveler, or all the above, the Everywhere Belt Bag is definitely a convenient little option that “packs” a punch.

The style, lightweight, and barely-there presence have turned it into my go-to bag.

Which color will you choose? Let me know in the comments!

Enjoy wearing this everywhere, friend 🙂
