If you’ve never thought of using your purse as your Everyday Carry (EDC) bag with specific contents for those “just in case” moments, take a look at this list of what to always have in your purse along with tips for getting everything organized.

What to Consider When Choosing Purse Contents

18-Things-to-Carry-in-Your-Purse

It’s important to remember that the contents of your purse are unique to you and your circumstances, as illustrated in this article about everyday carry contents. However, generally speaking, there are three questions to ask when deciding what to carry in your purse. Ask yourself:

  1. Is it essential?
  2. Is it compact?
  3. Does it have multiple uses?

What stuff should I put in my purse?

In addition to those things most of us carry all the time, such as wallet with ID, credit cards, cell phone, etc., and based on the above questions, I chose to carry these necessities in my purse:

Signaling/light devices

  1. Emergency whistle (with a compass)
  2. A mirror
  3. LED flashlight with strobe feature
  4. BIC lighter

Medical supplies

  1. Pill box containing 2 of each:  Tylenol, Advil, Tums, Benadryl
  2. A few Bandaids
  3. Two alcohol swabs

Tools

  1. Six-function Swiss army knife or multi-tool
  2. Portable phone charger

Cash

  1. Always some small bills ($1, $5), and quarters for machines and Aldi!

Comfort/entertainment items

  1. Tic Tacs
  2. Gum
  3. Two moist wipes
