Do the bottles typically stay in front of you or sit on your back?

I've seen them in pictures on the back which didn't make sense because the bib holder should go on the front. I find them more comfortable in front. I tried them both ways. Hope that helps. :)

I wear the pack with the snap in the back so the water bottles are in front (easy to get to). They dont leak - even when running and getting bounced around. Really nice.

Too hard to get at the pouch if it's behind you. I wear the bottles on the front where everything is easy to get to. Very comfortable.

They are pretty easy to remove and place back in. You just have to remember they are elastic. I wear mine on runs and hikes and the bottles go in and out fairly easily.

Forgot to add, the product description should specify if they are front or back.

I bought this case and the pockets are up and down so my bottles are stored upright just as they should. Sounds like you got a defect!!

I have the 4R but I only ever use 2 bottles at the back. On the front, they just wobble too much. It's ok for holding empties, but I can't run with them full.

Maybe laying down, but obviously, that's not great! My big bottles are 9 oz (Dr. Brown's) and they won't fit either way. It's more ideal for the Medela breast pump bottles or I use it to carry my breastmilk bags. Hope that helps!

It is on the right armrest. It is not shown on the picture. You can fit a skinny bottle in the holder - e.g. Beer.

I primarily store unopened bottles in it; they lie flat. However, if you wanted to store an open bottle without having it leak, you can prop it up with something like a small container or can. I've done that and it works fine.

There is nothing on the sides. One large opening for the bottles and one smaller in the front but I bought this 2 years ago it may have changed.

It is on the side of the bottle, but I don't usually keep the pills for more than 2 years because they are so cheap

In itself, the belt only holds the two bottles, but the manufacturer does have add on holders to increase the number. I have seen them at race expos. I believe the belt can be worn either way, but my experience is that it works best with the bottles to the front. It takes a bit of finagling, but once you find the sweet spot, the belt stays in place and the bottles are convenient.

I have never tried placing them on their sides. There is no reason to do that. The only reason that wine bottles are placed on their sides is to keep the cork from drying out. Once you open the bottle, it can be stood upright. I hope this helps!

Yes. I love these bottles!! Right amount control every time! Little flip top close without affort. Just position right way!

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

Yes! I squish the back down a little to rest neck and head back. Quite comfortable and durable! Drink holder not great

You lay it down so that the words on the top that are in the picture are facing up (facing you). The zipper unzips the top all the way around to the back and it unfolds. The foam piece that is inside has little holes in it to put the bottles in. The top will stay open because it flips all the way back to rest on the table /desk/what ever you sit it on. It is like a briefcase but goes all the way back instead of opening up to create an L shape. The way it is in this picture is the way you would carry it and the bottles would be resting in the protective foam piece on their sides with it in the upright, carry position. Hope that helps!

No. After 1 month this unit I running beautifully, but the bottles laying down are lose to the closed door. No room up front.
