niggi4life: [b]In those days our Mothers carry what i know as Hand Purse, very small and light, I still remember what my mum had in her purse. 1. One small eye pencil
2. One red lip stick
3. One small container of talcum face powder
4. Handkerchief
5. One small mirror and
6... Well Folded 50kobo and One naira Notes (which i get to steal sometimes when she gets back from an outing)
But now, u see Girls carry a BAG that can contain a Full Grown Matured He-Goat and you wonder what is always inside... I was so curious to find out one day, so when Angela came to my place some years ago, i opened The Almighty Bag and i was surprised that as Big as it looked with so many openings, there was absolutely nothing relevant(at least for me) What i saw included
1. One Big mirror(Almost same size with the one we hang in the bedroom)
2. 4 Different types of facial powder
3. Lipsticks of various colors,, (i counted 15)
4. One broom stick, about the size used to make Ewedu (I still dont understand why she carried this)
5.7 different colours of pants and One extra Bra
6. Toothbrush, tooth paste and bathing Sponge and sanitary iPads
7. Different types of make up( i just didn't recognise their names, they were too much and too colourful)
8. Passport photgraphs and also phone chargers, (Pin mouth charger for nokia, Iphone charger and BB charger )
9. I saw a Wallet inside the bag so i opened the wallet and hoping to see what normal wallet usually holds but.............
10... When i opened the Wallet, i found "NO Money" inside but scattered sticks of toothpick with one faintly used Chewing stick[/b] Lmao,

Life has changed so much that its only the truthful ladies that will tell you the reason for carrying those big bags, to my understanding i cant just figure out why lol.....our parents then used to carry small purse unless during market days when it is assumed that they are going to shop but today, the whole tin don change...my question is...are these bags not heavy or inconveniencing? |

It is not just a fashion accessory my dear, it is a necessity!! Ha! We can't fit everything into our pockets like you men na.
Contents of a woman's bag usually include her phone(s),
pens (I carry pens anywhere I go),
jotter/handbook (peculiar to me),
phone charger,
powerbank,
make up bag (in my case just lip gloss),
face powder, hand mirror,
earpiece (my phones),
Tissue paper
the occasional novel (peculiar to me),
sanitary pad (all women, when it is THAT time of the month),
comb,
hand fan for when the weather is hot, (me again)
slippers for when the we need to change from heels (I don't wear high heeled footwear but I know ladies who go around with extra-footwear),
purse/wallet
Anointing oil/holy water ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)
Pocket bible
In addition, my sis carries her invoices around.
Various other nwongwo na gwongwo that are peculiar to individual women.

Re: Must A Woman Carry A Handbag Wherever She Goes? by suwalee(f): 4:55pm On Feb 07, 2016 |
uboma: I have always wondered why a woman carries a handbag she steps out of her home. How did the origin of handbags carried by women come about in the first place? Are these handbags comfortable for the female folks? What are even the contents of a woman's handbag by the way that must be carried at all times?
I have seen some women carry really big handbags all in the name of fashion and i wonder if it is really necessary to carry a handbag.
What do you have to say, Ladies in the house?
What are the contents in your handbags?
Is it really necessary to carry a handbag wherever you go to? a bag isn't rly important for me tho I love my mini purse n I'm gud to go |

You are a triple B (big, bold and beautiful) so the big handbags will fit you.
I do hate it though when i call a lady and she doesnt pick after 2 rings. And the reason she later gives is 'oh sorry, i didnt hear it ring because it was in my bag'. Na by force to carry big handbags? lol you are funny. Lol |

Handbags are very important. If I'm not carrying any, I'd feel like I've forgotten something. Though I prefer the small ones cos I don't carry a lot of things |

I won't say they are junks. I carry a comb, facepowder and handmirror for obvious reasons. In short everything is necessary jare.
Nothing in a woman's bag is junk, trust me. They all have their uses.
I have 6 handbags. Why do you ask? Pardon my use of the word 'junk'. okay i accept that all that is in a lady's handbag is necessary to the owner. Just curious to know the number of bags you own. I know a lady that owns a dozen and still craves for more |
