What do you carry in your purse...?

[MelissaAnn]

Okay ladies, here it is. It is time to spill the beans. I'm fairly new to the transitioning process and starting to prepare myself for RLE, I do have a purse already, given to me by a very good friend. I'm just curious what kind of things do you carry in your purse? Here's a list of some of the things I figured I would be carrying in my purse.

Wallet.
Cell phone
tissues.
Make up for touchups.
Lip balm and lipstick.
Hand sanitizer.
Sunglasses.
Body spray or perfume.
A pen.
Breath freshener or mints

I just feel like there's some missing here, let me know what you think, happy purse dumping ladies.

Hugs,

Melissa Ann

I try to keep it simple and carry a fairly small purse.  I see my wife fumbling around in her "bagzilla" all the time and want no part of that. LOL

Wallet
Keys
Cell
Pen
Lipstick
Powder
Sunglasses

Bear repellant. Way more better than mace or pepper spray. A "Midnight Special" in the bad parts of town my not be too bad either. Just be careful with that on though. I don;t want to see any sisters or brothers in jail.

It depends on which bag I have.

Always a book.

Of course my phone, wallet, and keys.

Also a spare dose of E in case I'm out longer than I expect, a snack (now a container of honey roast peanuts), a tube of hand moisturizer, a comb, pen, pencil, pad of paper, spare sanitary pad. There are also a few giftcards that at various places if I find occasion to use them.

And deep in the hidden compartment, my carry letter. Probably a bit worn by now.

I'm really surprised I didn't see more of this, of course, I don't carry one because I don't have one yet as I'm not full time yet, but that definitely will be in my purse. When this does happen

I dumped my carry letter the day I got my new ID with a big fat "F" on it!

The only thing that will ever out me now is a strip search.  Lucky I've gone this long without one...

[cindianna_jones]

I carry the following:

an iPad
lip gloss
a compact
a nail file
lots of pens
reading glasses
some medications
keys

It doesn't seem like much but it adds up to be a weighty bundle. I can't stand to have a bunch of clutter in my purse. I clean it out every day.

[gabimoneratt]

As I mostly use it to go to uni,
Notebook
Pencil case
Makeup
Documents
Hand moisturizer
Aaaand the most important, I always have a couple of pills inside my purse in case I forget to take them before I leave my house lol this has actually happened over 4 times in a year and a half...
I used to carry a makeup bag and a brush set, but after I got tired of doing my makeup everyday for about a month or so I'd hardly ever use them, so I took them out haha

[noleen111]

I dunno how i survived life without a purse, this is what I carry

Cell phone

tissues
money/cards
cigarettes
lighter 
note book and a pen
Hand sanitizer
A nail file
Sunglasses.
mints

[BeemoX]

Phone

Book
Pen
Eyeshadow

I used a purse a lot at first, but now I'm usually only carrying phone and wallet, and with the winter coming I can usually carry it in my pockets (and I'm not reading much right now).

^^^^ THIS!

For me, apart from the usual money/phone/keys stuff, I'm never without a folded-up cloth shopping bag, a handful of aspirin, spare hair screws, and an 8-inch leather and lead police sap.

Lol start off with really only the basics, then, as time goes by, it WILL fill up!
I started with keys, purse/wallet, 1 lipstick and some wetwipes/dry wipes? And most importantly pepper spray!
I now have a bag FULL of stuff, and I'm not even sure whats in there anymore... All i know is, i battle to find anything in there now.

Yikes girlfriend!!  You need to move to Europe where we are all docile, gentle types 

I totally refuse to carry around microwave ovens and the other stuff my female friends seem to need.  Standard issue is:

Hairbrush and lacquer
Tissues
Sunglasses
Powder, gloss and the day's lipstick
Purse (wallet)
Mobile phone
