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.

Dear Lucille
I think the list of items that are essential to carry in your purse is great. I would include nail scissors together with the rest of the accessories.
Kind regards

I carry pepper spray attached to my purse. A small Swiss army knife, it’s only about 2 inches long and has a pair of scissors, tweezers, and a tooth pick. Best little knife ever.
These some of my other items that I carry package of wipes in a zip lock bag, liquid bandage, nail clippers, perfume and my calender book
I always carry nail polish and remover., plus a spare pack of stockings. If a nail chips you can either retouch or remove and redo. However. If you should suffer a ladder in your stockings or other hosiery a dab of polish at the bottom will stop the ladder from getting any larger and will give you the chance to find the nearest rest room and change your stockings, without it being too onbious you have a run.
