Heavy Women's Purse? Learn How to Lighten Your Load

Is your women's purse too heavy? It is very common these days for a woman to carry around 20 - 25 pounds of purse clutter. Many of us do not realize how such a big load can affect our body. This kind of weight will definitely have an effect on your back, neck, and shoulders. If we do not change our habits we might end up in a physiotherapy or chiropractor clinic to get these areas treated. These heavy over-sized purses can throw your spine out of alignment.

Many experts advise to take the load off - literally - and empty out your purse or wallet at least once a week. Not only that it would make our lives easier but we would save our bodies if we organize our women's purse. So stop reading right now and just damp everything from your bag on the floor. By starting right now you will prevent unnecessary injuries.

I went around in my neighbourhood and asked many ladies to show me the most crazy things they carry in their purses. Just to mention few of them, they carry for example pacifiers, little screw drivers, tape measures or rulers, sewing kits, bottles of hand sanitizers, mirrors, and the list can go on and on.

So let's go back and lighten our bags. I prepared a simple list of 10 Must Have Things in your handbag. This should make it easy to eliminate all the unnecessary stuff that you have been carrying around.

1. Wallet - incl. your ID, money/credit cards


2. Cell Phone


3. Keys - house and car


4. Lipstick



5. Hairbrush or comb


6. Gum or breath freshener


7. Necessary medication


8. Glasses



9. Pen and paper


10. Feminine Hygiene

Hope you finished organizing your purse. No, not yet? Are you still struggling to decide what to keep and what not? No problem, I have one more help for you. Just answer these 3 simple questions and be honest please.

1. Do I love it?


2. Do I use it?


3. Do I need it?

Write down the answers and start with the selection process. It should go very fast and your purse should be perfectly organized. I can guarantee that your back will thank you if you can bring it down to these 10 items.

To also keep those 10 items in order and not all over the place, I highly recommend to use purse organizers. They are absolutely great addition and should never be missing in your women's purse. They are very practical and since we all like to change our purses quite often, the purse organizers definitely simplify the whole procedure.
