Although people may tease that we carry too much in our purses, we know that you can never be too prepared. Here are 10 things every woman should carry in their purse.

Wallet, ID, And Keys

Before leaving your home, you’re definitely going to want to pack the basics. If you’re going out for a drink, you’re going to want to have your ID with you. If you want to be able to get back into your home by the end of the day, you’re more than likely going to need your keys to do so. If you’re going to want to purchase anything, you’re going to need your wallet as well. Out of all of the items on this list, your wallet, ID, and keys are the most important of the bunch.

Extra Tampons Or Pads

Having extra tampons and pads with you can be a lifesaver. You never know when aunt flow will surprise you with an unexpected visit. Even if you don’t use them yourself, there’s a good chance someone you know will need to borrow one.

Pain Reliever

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left the house and have gotten a headache unexpectedly. Rather than toughing it out, save yourself the pain and carry some aspirin, ibuprofen, or other pain relievers with you. Pain relievers can also be helpful when you start cramping and it feels like someone is stabbing you in the uterus. This is one item you won’t want to forget.

Band-Aids

Although you might not think it, carrying band-aids with you is one of the best decisions you can make. For those days when you’re breaking in a new pair of shoes, you’ll be happy to have a pair of band-aids in your purse. Not to mention, you never know when you’ll end up with a scrap or cut.

Cash

In addition to carrying debit or credit cards with you, you’ll want to have some cash on you as well. Although most places accept cards as a form of payment, others may not. By carrying some extra cash in your purse, you’ll avoid frustration when you find out cards aren’t accepted.

A Phone Charger

If you’re travelling anywhere outside your home, you’re going to want to carry a phone charger in your purse. Nothing is worse than when you realize you’re running out of battery. By keeping a phone charger with you, your phone will always be charged and ready to go.

Gum Or Mints

Even if you’ve brushed your teeth, it’s always a good idea to carry gum or mints in your purse. With the help of a stick of gum or a couple of mints, you can eat whatever you want without having to worry about bad breath. Whether you’re going out on a date or to a job interview, it’s always a good idea to pop in a stick of gum to keep you feeling fresh.
