Planning to step out en femme? Don’t forget your handbag! More than just a stylish accessory, your purse is a toolbox for your female self.
While a cluttered bag isn’t chic, there are some essentials you shouldn’t be without. You never know what life will throw at you – and a lady is always prepared!
In this blog post, I share 15 transgender / crossdressing items to keep in your purse when you are on the go.
1. Cell phone
Needless to say, you should never leave home without your phone. Besides, you never know when the perfect selfie opportunity will arise!
2. Lip Gloss or Lipstick
A moisturizing lip gloss or lipstick in your favorite shade is a female essential.
3. Mints or Gum
Freshen your breath on the go by keeping a stash of mints or gum on hand.
4. Nail File
There’s nothing more annoying than a broken nail, so throw one of these babies into your bag.
5. $20 Cash
Even though most of us rely on credit or debit cards, you never know when you might need some cash.
6. Hand Cream
Keep your hands feeling soft and feminine with a tube of hand cream.
7. Blotting Paper or Powder
Reduce shine on the go with blotting paper or pressed powder.
8. Bobby Pins
These come in handy if you need to secure your wig or tame some loose strands of hair.
9. Compact Mirror
A must-have for checking your teeth or makeup.
10. Stain Removal Pen
The sooner you treat an unexpected stain, the less likely it is to be permanent.
11. Band-Aids
Not just for cuts and scrapes, a Band-Aid can relieve blisters caused by new shoes.
12. Safety Pins
Those can be a lifesaver if you break a strap or pop a button.
13. Emergency Info
Not to be a downer, but if anything should happen, this could literally save your life.
14. Advil or Tylenol
Keep a couple painkillers on hand in case you get a surprise headache.
15. Healthy Snack
Hunger can sneak up on you, so keep a healthy snack bar or some nuts in your bag.

I wear nothing but women’s shoes and clothing now, having discarded all my men’s clothing and shoes back in 2016. I am a ladies size 13. I buy all my pumps, heels, sandals and boots at Long Tall Sally. I have a couple pair of LTS 4 inch heels that are very comfortable and sexy, as you can see in the attached photo.
Hi – I mentioned this topic in another forum here recently, but if you have a Rack at Nordstrom close to you, I would recommend them. They have great high heels and at a discount. They have sizes up to 13 and beyond I think! I only wear a size 10 women’s shoe. Anyhow, here I am the other day trying on some heels! Good luck, Suzy
Hey Suzy Q…
My wife and I both worked with the Nordstroms; she as an Executive Employee & me as a foot specialist in OC. CA. when they came back to South Coast Plaza.
I sent pts with mismatches feet and they always accommodated every one.
Made many Racks purchases…always pleased. Half Yearly is a great event.
You Always look great!
