I stopped carrying a purse years ago - it dawned on that men get along very well without carrying purses. So why not women...

I keep a small wallet with all I need - we really don't' need half our belongings with us everywhere we go, girls!

I keep it safe in a snapped pocket - some shirts/jackets with inside pockets.

This also keep me from laying my 'purse' down where it can get snatched or forgotten...

I thought the main reason was for make-up and feminine hygiene products-- not the obvious like to contain money and credit cards.
