I'm not one to carry a purse on regular basis, just when I go to work. I have my wallet, Keys, Badge and a Book. I see some women digging through there purses looking for stuff and I always wonder "What the Heck is all that Stuff". They have just about everything you can image n in there. So to all the women and if you are a man carrying a purse "What's in it"

LOL!! At this current time, in my purse I have a toothbrush and toothpaste. I have a wallet with credit cards, money and gift cards. Of course I have my id and insurance card. I usually have pepper spray when I have to travel alone at night. I also have some kinda snack or treat in my purse. I do that because I tend to forget about eating when I am out, and so sometimes I need a snack to keep going. Also my keys are in there as well as a scan key thing to get into my apartment building. I have a to do list always in my purse. For some reason right now I also have coupons in my purse. Last week I had jewelery,make-up and deorderiant in my purse too.. don't ask why, because I am not sure.

I carry a toothbrush and toothpaste because I go to work soooooooooooooooooooo early in the morning and I am soooooooooooooo tired that I usually leave the house without brushing my teeth :-S It is soooooooooooo sad but I am the first person in the office so I usually go brush my teeth and fix myself up before anyone gets there. That is why I guess sometimes I have make up and jewelry, etc. As for my cell phone, I carry it in my pocket, not sure why really but I don't like it in my purse. I think it has to do with all the stuff in my purse that when someone calls I can never find my phone. I forgot to add, my ipod is also in my purse. YAY!! :-D

I carry a big purse and it's heavy. Recently I was shopping with my son and asked him to hold it for a minute. He dropped it asking what the heck is in it, it's so heavy. I carry a lot of stuff. I have my wallet, checkbook, pens, paper, cell phone, iPod, makeup, brush, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, antiperspirant, toothbrush, Tide pen...That's just some of what I carry. I've tried downsizing my bag, but I need all the stuff I mentioned.

My everyday purse is a fanny pack with outside pockets. It hold quite a bit for a med size bag. I have my cell phone, pill box with pain meds, wallet, gift cards, store discount or club cards, checkbook, pen, ID cards for various volunteer organizations, an assortment of bandaids, tissues or napkins, seperate ID wallet with my amateur radio license, 7 day supply of Rx meds, keys, and sometimes a little money. When I go places with my close friends one of them has me hold his keys and wallet and my husband sometimes has me hold some small items for him as well. If we are out on an event with our volunteer communications team I might have extra batteries for my hand held two way radio, a small flashlight, and a notebook as well. For an out on the town dressy event I'll just carry a small clutch with wallet & keys.

Hi missy! I'm afraid I'm one of those woman who always carries a purse! I almost never have pockets big enough to put things in so I am guilty of always dragging a purse with me for all my "essentials". Now they vary from time to time depending on where I am going. So that would include my wallet, card holder with IDs, brush, makeup, tissues, cellphone, glasses and sunglasses. Those are the essentials! Sometimes there will be a folding umbrella too!

I carry a small purse but I carry my work tools (hex keys, pliers, knife, ear plugs, small notebook, tissues, and pen), along with those are my keys, cash I might need for work, medical cards, driver's license and my inhaler. Forget the makeup and crap like that. My purse is heavy enough with the tools in it. I do however have a small wallet type purse I use for shopping or going somewhere. Usually it's just to work and home.

I never thought of that! Actually quite funny once I did though. Ya think they might be a bit disgusted? Especially since I generally don't carry more than $5.

I hate dealing with purses, so I usually put the cell in a pocket, have a carabiner on my key ring so I can clip them on me, and keep a small hand lotion, gum, and lip gloss in the car only. If I have to go to an event where I wear a dress I'll bring a small clutch w/ one kleenex, lip stick, and of course...gum or mints.

This are the things that will never leave my pouch.hehe.and i cant even leave the house without this all of this because this seems to be important. the ladies are really fond of bringing pouches, purses or bags and mostly have a beauty products in it like make.ups or lip balm just like what my friend has.

Well, besides my keys, wallet, a comb, normal stuff, I tend to keep a few band aids, some pain relievers, alka seltzer, and allergy meds. I also tend to keep some snack bars. I am hypoglycaemic and need to keep a little snack on hand just in case my sugar drops. My father in law is on blood thinners and can look at things and bleed, hence the band aids. Someone is always coming to me for aspirin, or sick. I don't need a smaller purse, I need two, one for my stuff and one for handing out stuff for those I love. Just cause it weighs enough for me to knock someone out with. That could come in handy ya know.

I used to carry a pouch bag not my wallet since i wanted to put my lipstick and lip gloss alongside of it. Sorry but i don't carry bags much since in malls they do inspect bags and it takes time to enter since there is always a queue. It is easier to enter if you don't have any bags, they separate an entry for that.

Very interesting I don't think they do that here. Sometimes you have to leave other shopping bags before you go to a different store.

I don't carry very much stuff in my purse, I always carry a small purse because I know if I get a bigger one I'll have everything in my house in it..lol. Right now, I just have my billfold in it, I keep my car keys in it, a calendar I use to write appts and stuff in, a small calculator to keep my checkbook balanced, some floss and some eye drops, thats about it.

I don't carry a purse since. I observed that most women and seldom men are carrying purse. But if if there carrying one, most likely what are inside are coins, maybe lipstick, or key/s, rings, or things that you wanted to hide for awhile, a magic stone and it depends to an individual.
