sporran placement!

[Ruanaidh]

I was dancing for about 3 hours, so it might be the weight over the amount of time that was making it painful or perhaps it was too low.

Maybe the dancing was the problem. Traditionaly, when you are dancing the sporran is moved over to rest on your hip so it dosen't come between you and your date.

You beat me to it, Ruanaidh. Whenever dancing one-to-one with your partner in your arms, the sporran should be moved round to your left hip. This is done out of respect for your partner, if not for your bits-and-pieces!

Most will tell you a hand-width below the belt. Practically speaking, if you load one up the way you descibe you'd better tighten up the strap so that the sporran is hard up against the belt buckle. After walking a bit it will edge downward to its final resting place, which should certainly be well above your sensitive anatomy.
Comfort is key. If it feels wrong, it probably is!

yup, he ain't lyin...closer to the buckle means less abuse...

aloha, I just wore my very unique kilted outfit to Prom last night. I danced and walked around until from 8pm to 3am and then went out for an early morning dinner; about halfway through the sporran package was hurting my package!
Ouch it hurts! I had a two cameras and a money clip and id cards etc inside, so I don't think it was that heavy...mabye I am wearing it wrong...

What is the correct placement for the sporran?

It's like riding a bike. If you ride one for long enough, soon your butt stops hurting
