This is very informative… though I don’t carry alot of these items mentioned. I’ve known ladies that carry (unused) teabags, food, in their handbag.. probably fit more if they had more room!
Well written!!
Thanks for the nice share!

There’s always a mirror but a broken one.
If it’s of a csw you may also find there a land title in some else’s name.
January 13th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Interesting post;anyway,women are always unpredictable,so I prefer not to know what they carry in their purses!
January 13th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
I agree and could probably add a few more. Good share.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:08 pm

Yep – all those things – and probably MORE! hahaha!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
I tend to agree with Sebastian. It’s probably safer for men not to know everything that women carry in their purse.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
So you had to tell the world what women have in their handbags. Isn’t there any secrets that women can keep out of the public knowledge?! Thanks! Great post anyway.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Wow, I should probably be concerned that I didn’t know this! Great list!

Fairly accurate…and trust me, you don’t one of those chocolates anyway. For one thing, they are there in case of an “emergency.” Second, you have no idea how long they’ve been in there!
January 15th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Informative, entertaining, accurate. Get your webcam out of my handbag now!

I think many, if not most, of these things found in women’s purses or bags are also found in men’s carry-alls. It’s not a monopoly of women. Or, the men ask the women to put them in their bags first to be retrieved later by the men when they need them already (especially if both of them are going out to the same place). On the other hand, some women (I’m not saying all women) do carry a lot of things because in many societies, women do have a lot of things to do, sometimes even multi-tasking along the way. (Although I’m not saying that it’s always proper to always ask women to do all these things because it might be bordering already on sexism.) Thus time is of the essence so having their “props” ready at all times helps a lot for the women.
January 20th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
All of these items are essential
Hum, when they save the day, no one complains.

If it doesn’t fit in my back pocket, hence, money, bank card, license, cell phone. It has no business going with me.
