    There is little to nothing I understand about fashion. It is a stupid thing that does not revolve around looking good, but rather, keeping up with whatever is 'in fashion'. Things either look good or they don't. That's all there is to it in my eyes. If something that is in fashion happens to look good, I consider this coincidence.

    No, you don't have to carry them ALL the time, but for a week, you do. And some girls just like carrying emergency ones.

    And I think having a wallet sitting in your back pocket or just in general shoving everythting you want to carry into pockets has got to be more uncomfortable than just carrying your bag. Doesn't it feel weird when you sit down?

    I put my wallet in my front pocket and no, it doesn't feel weird

    I don't see why one would need to carry anything around besides a wallet, their phone, and their keys. My wallet and phone go in my pocket and my keys are on a carabiner and attach to my belt loop.
    Where do you keep your pads, or tampons then? Or is your wallet so huge that you can fit, everything you need in there? I understand the need for purses, but not massive purses unless moms are using it to double as a baby bag when they go out with their little ones.

    I have purses, but I normally just carry my purse-like messenger bag around which often carries a book, pads, gum, keys, comb, DS, cell phone, and my butterfly wallet with my money and cards in it.
    I don't carry any of that stuff around. I just figure I'm going to the store, not to the Gobi Desert or something.

    The only things in my wallet are some cash and like three cards. (Debit card, employee discount card, credit card for emergencies)

    AHAHAHA.

    Anyway.

    This might SHOCK AND AMAZE YOU, but ladies often look out for one another. I carry extra stuff in my purse in case someone doesn't have any. Since I work with 13-14 year old kids most of the time, this has especially saved some poor girl's day, since they usually have less of a handle on when it's going to happen.

    Pfft. Men.

    i bought a messenger bag last week and use it to carry around everything i regularly did with a lot more organization. it beats carrying everything around in my pockets and doesn't look entirely too silly.

    Then I am really confused to as why they are so catty to each other.

    I was naming a generic situation.

    Basically, I am saying that I think it's odd that some, not all, women have no problem sharing something like a tampon, but then will fly off the handle towards minor infractions towards each other.

    Alright, maybe I just look out for other women. But I wish.

    Jeggings or any sort of leggings with a long shirt. Sometimes not even a long shirt is involved. Why do you want to show your arse off to the world, seriously? Put some proper pants on.

    I put my wallet in my front pocket and no, it doesn't feel weird
    Yeah Pike hit the nail on the head, men generally find I notice to have a system an intricate system of filing in to pockets which whilst looking like a mystery to most women makes perfect sense to a guy. Here's a brief description of mine;

    Front left pocket - iPod, Keys (important it goes opposite phone, prevents common loses of both money and phone or keys)
    Front right pocket - Wallet, Phone, loose change if a lot.
    Front right "note/bill pocket" chewing gum
    Back right pocket - Travel permit
    Back left pocket - small amounts of loose change, earphones (unless headphones in which case they stay on neck), any other letters/documents I need to keep

    The usual "condom" stash of 1 condom for any situation which may arise where one is needed be it saving a life, preventing a gun from becoming waterlogged or sexual intercourse of myself or a bro is stored in the wallet note compartment, might not be the most ideal place but it's where I go to in an emergency.

    This map means I 1) know where every item on my person is at any time so I can smoothly operate around the city without having to stop and rummage or think. 2) I'm never overloaded in one pocket, sometimes there can be some re-jigging but I prefer wallet and phone going together since I'm likely to pull both out together check my phone and use my wallet. plus if phone is going off and I grab it to answer/check I can also safely and discreetely check my wallet being there still.

    Keys, wallet, phone, possibly iPod or whatever. Easily fits into all pockets and isn't at all noticable.

    I don't carry condoms everywhere I go though. Take from that what you will.

    I always carry a pick with me. Somebody always needs a pick. You never know when you'll need to rock out.
