Q&A for How to Pack Your Everyday Purse (Teen Girls)

Yes! Lens wipes are essential if you wear glasses every day.

Yes. Just make sure the container has a good seal on it.

Yes, but you need to make sure the cap is secured tightly. You don't want the perfume to spill all over the inside of your purse.

You can put any period or hygiene items in a small, zippered pouch in your bag so they won't fall out or be too obvious. If anyone asks what's inside, you can say that it's just pens and pencils, or even food. If your school doesn't allow gum or candy but you want to keep your breath fresh, see if you can bring a small tin of mints. If not, bring along a small toothbrush and toothpaste to clean your mouth after eating.

I would suggest you keep at least three, maybe more if you're going to be away from the house for a long time.

Yes to both of these things. Just make sure you don't lose your charger at school, it's very easy to plug it in somewhere and then forget about it.

You don't. But some people like to have an array of useful objects on hand at any given moment. Also, women's clothing tends to have small pockets that aren't great for holding wallets, phones, lipglosses, and all the other things girls may want to carry.

You don’t have to, of course, but a small stick of deodorant would surely be nice to keep on hand.

Of course. As long as you're responsible enough to not lose it/leave it somewhere, it's fine for a kid to carry a purse.

A small container of blush, lipstick, small palette of eye shadow, and Chapstick.

That's probably not necessary unless you're going to a sleepover or something.

Always have it with you and wear it close to your body. If you have to leave it, make sure it's with a trusted friend or family member.

You could take a small toothbrush and toothpaste. You could also pack a tin of mints.

If you have a smaller purse, just pack the essentials, like pads/tampons, your phone, wallet, and any makeup you might need for touch-ups.

Deactivate any cards that were in the purse and let your local rta/police station know that your license was lost so they can deactivate it and order a new one.

Yes. Separate pouches makes finding exactly what you want quick and easy. Ziploc bags work well if you can't get pouches.

You can pack gum or mints, money, your phone (if you have one), any makeup, snacks, or small entertainment such as fidget spinners or travel-sized toys.

If you don’t have a small eye shadow palette, you can buy one, or put some of the powder into a smaller container.

The individual purse you use should be up to you, but if it has separate zipped compartments and is large enough to contain all of your essential items, it would be ideal.

If the items are secured and unlikely to break or leak, there is no issue with packing such items.

Either would be a good idea, but cardholders are usually meant for someone that has a lot of cards.

Some things to have include a a charger, makeup, wallet, some cash and your keys.

Hide pads in your pants pockets or maybe even your bra.

If the diapers are clean and either you or someone you know is likely to need them (for a child or grandchild), then diapers are a good thing to include in your purse. Make sure you have some bags to dispose of them in.

You could put them in a backpack with different compartments if they are allowed at school. Messenger bags are also an option.

Yes, Just make sure you have enough room for everything. If you are only packing very little for the day, then you can use it. But if you are packing a lot for the day, you might want a backpack.

You can use a small pencil case specifically designed to keep pens, or you could put them in a side pocket that is easy to access.

You can make a sign telling you to bring your purse. You can also set reminders on your phone telling you when to bring your purse. Or, put it in your bag the night before.

If you wear/want makeup, you can bring it. You don't have to bring a phone, but it is recommended. Mints are never required, just like makeup, especially if you don't like mints. And bring your wallet only if you really need to buy something.

There are no age restrictions to carrying a purse. I am a teenager now but I have been having carrying a purse since I was five. It's your preference.
