What sort of belly band do you use?

[Spug]

What sort of belly bands are people wearing? I carry often, in my pocket mostly, and belt-holster carry sometimes, but in some circumstances such as light hiking, fitness walking, or lounging in sweatpants or whatever I use a belly band, but I'd like to get something better than what I'm using.

I've been using a DeSantis elastic belly band that's made of a fairly heavy elastic material with velcro closure. Wearing it next to my skin it doesn't seem all that breathable, gets hot quickly when exercising getting my pistol wet, and is kind of scratchy especially where the velcro is. I generally tuck a paper towel or something between it and my skin where the closure is, hardly ideal.

Usually I'm carrying a very small auto or snub revolver fairly high on my strong side kidney. I am left-handed. Usually no extra magazines or whatever. Another pocket to carry a small cellphone might get some use, but I'm looking for something fairly minimalistic, not bulky and above all comfortable for wear next to the skin.

Anyone have a favorite ambidextrous belly band holster they can recommend? The one I have is flesh-colored, but I'm not averse to something darker.

I wear a belly band (Cross Breed) 6 days a week. I know of no version that is comfortable next to the skin.

I have used the Undertech Undercover (Travel) for several years. I actually wear it higher up (lower chest area) for carrying the Ruger LC9s. I carry the handgun under my left arm pit for a crossdraw retrieval. I usually wear western type shirts with snaps for quick access.

I know it's not really a bellyband and it's not made for strongside carry but I have been using a Phlster Enigma for the last year or so whenever I am out and about in clothes that don't work with a belt, basically gym/basketball shorts when I run errands on my way home from the gym, and have found it to be comfortable with a couple modifications. I basically added a layer of t-shirt material to the backside of the belt behind the buckle and holster.

They don't make then big enough for me, so no recommendations.

I have tried a number of such rigs, over the decades, since the Eighties. My choice is the Phlster Enigma, a quite evolved belly-band type of rig.
