According to a study<\/a>, women spend a full 76 days of their life searching for something in their handbag. The study questioned surveyed women in 17 different countries. But why is this the case? And what do women actually have in their handbags? In this article, we try to get to the bottom of the mystery and reveal the must-haves that every woman ought to have in her handbag.<\/p>\n

The handbag\u2014a sacred place for every woman<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Besides the 76 days that women spend rooting around in their handbags, 95 percent of women surveyed also own between two and twenty handbags, and most women can\u2019t stand it when someone else looks through their handbag. The issue of handbags is something quite special. And this is because they use them to carry the things they need on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

What every woman should have in her handbag!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cell phone, wallet & keys<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Men usually put them in their pant pockets, but women keep them in their handbags\u2014their cell phone, wallet, and keys. These are all essential items in a woman\u2019s handbag!<\/p>\n

Notebook\/diary to stay on top of things<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s true\u2014we live in a stressful world. Even if a lot of people use their cell phones to organize their appointments and notes, many women prefer to stay old-school and keep a notebook or diary with them. Not only can they make a note of things whenever they like, but it also helps them to know exactly where they need to be when for appointments\u2014and without having to worry about their cell running out of battery!<\/p>\n

\"What

Lipstick, lip balm and the like<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Women usually have one in each handbag\u2014a lip balm or even a lipstick. Most women won\u2019t even set foot outside without one. And that\u2019s a good thing too, as our lips need extra care, especially in particularly cold or warm weather. And sometimes they just need a little color, too ?<\/p>\n

Powder, make-up, and everything you need to freshen up<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s hardly a woman out there who can keep their make-up looking good all day long. That\u2019s why they always keep some powder, make-up, or a concealer stick\u2014or whatever they use in the mornings\u2014in their handbags so they can freshen up whenever they need to.<\/p>\n

To make sure they always have whatever they need ready to hand at the right moment, usually women simply keep their make-up equipment in a little make-up bag. It can be tucked away nicely in your handbag and is easy to find, too.<\/p>\n

Mirror, mirror on the wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s before your first business meeting, a date in the evening, or anytime in between\u2014all women will agree it\u2019s important to know how you look, right? That\u2019s why most women will also have a little mirror at the ready in their handbag. That way you can quickly check if your hair looks okay, if you need to refresh your lipstick, or if your mascara has smudged.<\/p>\n

Deodorant\/perfume\u2014to keep you smelly fresh all day long<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On long and stressful days, sometimes deodorant doesn\u2019t do its job. Most women prefer not to leave things until it gets to that point. That\u2019s why they carry deodorant in their bag, so they can refresh their deodorant whenever they need to. And many women carry perfume in their handbags as well\u2014like deodorant, it can keep you smelling good the whole day through.<\/p>\n

Nail file for emergencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It can happen in no time in everyday life\u2014you get a broken nail. You need help fast, otherwise the entire nail could break off. And that\u2019s probably also why most women\u2019s handbags contain a small nail file too.<\/p>\n

Hairbrush\u2014to keep your hair in place<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wind, rain, and snow\u2014our hair doesn\u2019t get any easy ride. And women always have a hair brush with them to make sure their hair stays in place all day.<\/p>\n

Chewing gum\u2014for minty fresh breath<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all been there: you\u2019re in a meeting and you have to do a lot of talking, and then you have a bad feeling in your mouth. That\u2019s precisely why it\u2019s always a good idea to have some chewing gum or candy in your handbag. So it\u2019s hardly any wonder that you\u2019ll find chewing gum or sweets in virtually every woman\u2019s handbag.<\/p>\n

Umbrella\u2014for when the weather gets bad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To make sure your hair brush will be sufficient and you don\u2019t have to cart a hairdryer around with you, all women should carry an umbrella in their handbag. Not only will it protect your head, but it will keep your clothes dry too. After all, who wants to get wet?<\/p>\n

Tissues\u2014always at the ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How often do you get asked for a tissue? It happens really quite a lot, and women like to be prepared, which is why they\u2019ll always have at least one pack of tissues in their handbag. Whether you use them to blow your nose or to get rid of your chewing gum discreetly\u2014tissues will always come in handy!<\/p>\n

Tampons\u2014so you\u2019re always covered <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tampons are essential for any woman\u2019s handbag. After all, every month it\u2019s the same\u2014your period starts, and then you\u2019ll need to change your tampons regularly. Your period could also come unannounced, or your friend may have forgotten her tampons. So tampons are definitely a must!<\/p>\n

pjuractive 2SKIN<\/em><\/strong>\u2014for a day without painful feet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Women love shoes, and that\u2019s why they also have a wide range of different types<\/a> at home. Unfortunately, some of them can cause painful pressure marks, sore patches of skin, and even blisters<\/a>\u2014especially if you wear them for a long time. To stop it happening again, make sure our pjuractive 2SKIN<\/em><\/a> also has a guaranteed spot in your handbag in future, too. Simply apply the invisible gel to any areas of skin that are irritated and a protective film will form immediately, protecting the skin against chafing.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, women always want to be prepared for everything\u2014and that\u2019s why there\u2019s always so much in a woman\u2019s handbag. So it\u2019s hardly surprising that we constantly have to search for everything\u2014and spend so much time looking. But what would we be like if we didn\u2019t have all these must-haves in our handbags! \u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
