But to be frank, some of the items in the bottomless depths of a woman’s purse are simply shocking. Here is what they are.

In an attempt to eat healthy many women try to add some of their potential fruit intake in their purses, hoping to consume it during the day. Sadly, some of nature's treats get forgotten, turning a handbag into an unappetising mess. Yuk.

Hey, could you pass me that wig out of my purse? Although it may sound a little weird, some women were able to successfully implement a makeover thanks to these valuable beauty assets easily available from their handbags.

A vibrator

13 of 30 women asked by Hers Magazine to reveal the weirdest item in their purses confessed to keeping a vibrator there. Apparently, it makes them feel ‘sexy’, ‘prepared’, ‘fun’, and ‘spontaneous’. This must be the boldest item to carry around in public. But it’s the 21st century after all, and women are free to do as they please.
