Forget the regular necessities – keys, cellphones and purse; because we know it’s a definite must-have when you’re on the go. Girls unlike boys, they can’t go out without a bag to house a myriad of objects like tablets, make-up, etc. – and that’s why you can see many of us carrying tote bags!
We’re all trained to expect emergencies, like Aunt Flow’s visit, when it rains, or when you have a last-minute party with the girls you need to look fresh! But since we generally have those products in our bags, it’s about time we told you the other six essential handbag must-haves that could potentially save you from embarrassment or danger.
Sanitary Pads / Pantyliner
Aunt Flow’s visit is never happy one. Remember to prepare some pads or tampons in your bag when you think your menstrual cycle is coming soon. And all that is not only for you, but to help your girlfriends out too.
Band-Aids
Some of us might be super clumsy that we end up injuring ourselves. Band-aid don’t only help treat your cuts and grazes, but you can also conceal the blisters on your feet with Band-Aids!
Mints
There’s nothing worse than having bad breath. A box of minty gums or candy can help you control your bad breath after a meal, and especially after something rich with garlic. Keep a small pack of mints in your bag so you can easy reach out for a smooch with your man after lunch!
