A woman literally carries her entire world in her purse. You exactly know what I am talking about if you are a female reader and male readers can finally have an answer to their years of conjecture. There can be many things – some things you need and some you want. It is better to be prepared for the best and the worst. I personally prefer having everything with me instead of running around for things I need last minute.

I make sure I have everything. My policy is simple – be prepared. I have so much in my bag that if anyone needs anything, I might just have it available with me.

If you think all you need in your bag is your mobile phone, wallet and house keys, you are wrong. Different situations may make you need different things. Here's a list of things you must have in your bag.

#1 Medicines

Troubles don't usually forewarn. It is best to be prepared for the worst kind of sudden sickness that can strike you. Always make sure you have some painkillers on you and other medicines that you usually need. It is also wise to carry band aids, just in case.

#2 Mirror

Many of you don't know, but a woman's first best friend isn't diamonds. It is a mirror. It is better to carry a small handy mirror. You can take a quick look into it to check if you have something stuck in your teeth, how you look after a speedy bike ride or just want to preen.

#3 Hand Sanitizer

When on-the-go, you may not have a bathroom to use all the time. To keep those germs away, the best thing is to have a small bottle of hand sanitizer in your purse at all times. Stay clean!

#4 Hair ties and hair pins

It is common to have quick makeup in your bag, but it is also necessary to have hair ties and pins. You may have a sudden plan to go to and may need to tie up your hair clean. That's when they come in use. A sudden meet with a client, a date or if you are feeling hot, you can save yourself in these situations by carrying the necessary.

#5 Deodorant

This is a mandatory necessity for hygiene reasons. It is best to carry a travel-size deodorant in you purse at all times. A good fragrance is only going to add positively.

#6 Sun Glasses

Living in a country with tropical weather demands you to have a pair of sun glasses when you go out of the house. Starting out your day under the hot burning sun without sun glasses can cause you unnecessary heat headache.

#7 Period supplies

This is probably the most important in the list of must-haves in your carry bag. It is better to have your period supplies with you when suddenly surprised with your monthly cycle. Instead of falling in a false position, take a secured step.

#8 Chewing gum or mint

Bad breath is the best human repellent. Always have chewing gum or mint handy with you and spare yourself of embarrassment and others of a stinky experience.

#9 Headphones

Commuting or travelling without music can feel like a punishment. Save yourself from this self inflicted penalty and carry headphones. It is the best way to stay entertained even when alone.

#10 Tissue papers

Last but not the least, tissue papers are another important things to have at a hand's distance when away from home. Quick wiping or cleaning up may be needed by anyone at any time. Always stay stocked up with these.
