Handbags carry more stuff (including female hygiene products) and keep the important stuff all in one place. I never lose my things, because I know they're always in my bag, the guys I know on the other hand are always losing their keys, wallets, they don't always have their ID with them when they need it. Forget having things like sunglasses, reading glasses, medication (allergy, pain, ext). Handbags are extremely useful for carrying things that you don't need yet, but might need later[footnote]some of my more conservative or safety cautious relatives carry guns, pepper spray, ext in their bags[/footnote], that includes things for other people as I've found myself sometimes carrying my boyfriend's stuff because he didn't have enough room in his pockets.Random Gamer said:I've been around for a few decades and I still haven't understood why anyone would burden herself with such a big cumbersome shit like a handbag. Just use your pockets, trousers and jackets have them for a reason.Parasondox said:What do you all think? Yeah, handbags are expensive. Make my wallet cry and depressed expensive.
That being said, handbags aren't always expensive, only the name brands are. You can buy a good, useful handbag for around $10 and nobody needs something the size of a diaper bag unless they have kids. Large bags are too cumbersome IMO and I prefer something with an across shoulder strap so I can use my hands without it slipping off.
I also forgo carrying a handbag at the gym, while hiking or if I'm just going someplace to hangout with friends.
Basically, it's really useful to have the extra room, you'd need a hoodie with the giant middle pocket or cargo pants to get similar functionality and then you risk your important stuff going through the washer if you don't remember to take it all out.

For the record, I have absolutely no qualms about using men's razors and shaving cream, my sister does it even cheaper, she uses bar soap in place of shaving cream. I can't even use the brands specifically made for women, such as Skintimate, there's something in them that makes me break out in hives.
I do like a nice smelling lotion, but I don't need to have it and I also like the smell of plain old Dial soap, which might actually be better for my skin than scented body washes.
Deodorant though, I don't need the baby powder scent, but I really can't go around smelling like Old Spice either.
