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.

They say you tell a lot about somebody by what she keeps in her purse! Are you a stylish survivalist or do you prefer to travel light?

Thank you for all of the wonderful tips that you continue to provide. I have added my sun glasses and a pair of finger nail clippers. I do have a permit to carry a concealed weapon so my purse has a special pocket for it.
Rock on girlfriend!
Thank you so much! Some of the things such as safety pins and stain removal I would have never thought of!
I have about eleven of the fifteen in my purse. I have a smaller purse, so what I have in it, is what fits at this time. Eleven of the fifteen items isnt too bad I guess
I’m a crossdresser. I carry a purse and I have in it lipstick pads tampons . I have been one for many years.love to meet others like me.
I too would love to meet others like me/us in my local area.
Lucille, are you listening? It would be nice to have a reference for sources for us!
I have not been cross dressing for very long , but I do plan on carrying some kind of self protection device , whistle or pepper spray. You never know when you could meet up with some unfriendly person . Also I discovered really like carrying handbags. I have about 20 purses in different styles and colors . My two favorite ones I have in 3 colors each.

Well I keep lots of things in my purse compact mirror with brush attached to it. Lip gloss, pen to right things down with. Cell phone, some money, Wallet etc. Some weird things you wont normally find like holy water. I even keep tampons and pads in my purse, you never know when someone will need one especially pads if you have incontinence issues. Spironolactone can make that worse if your taking it as part or your HRT.
Yes Christy you are right. I am keeping also everything including panty and pad also.
Hi Christy..
You are an absolute doll! Very beautiful lady! I also keep tampons and mini-pads or liners in my purse.. Like you said, “You never know”!

Hi Lucille honey Goodness Girlfriend I really needed this one I don’t know about the rest of you but a femme wallet is good too I think although they are getting obsolete I knew about the stain remover pen and my purse is really quite empty presently I’m getting out at all but hand sanitizer is good and Kleenex do we not need a makeup bag for touch ups I guess it’s old school LoL I hope I get my self out of this place soon I’m starting to take root I think Love MJ
