Discover the Top 10 Must-Have Items for Every Woman

Everyone loves a top 10 list, so let’s get to it! All the ladies in the house, it’s time to grab your purse and take a long, hard look inside. We are about to go deep undercover and expose the top 10 items that every woman must have.

We all know about popular items like a bottle of water, Band-Aids, keys, pen and paper, water bottles, phones, safety pins, etc. But our top 10 list of items is a little different and perhaps more helpful to the stylish, chic, and sophisticated modern woman. Ready to get started? Let’s roll!

#1 – Lactose or Anti-Gluten Chewables

Since many women across America and Europe are lactose intolerant or suffer from gluten problems, it’s a good idea to have lactose pills or anti-gluten chewable tablets on hand. Depending on where you live, these types of dietary products are packaged under different names, including Lactaid, CVS Health Dairy Relief, Live Better Food Intolerance, Digestive Aid Capsules, Me + My Gluten Assist Capsules, and others. These are worth their weight in gold, especially if you suffer from GI-related problems like cramping, bloating, or Celiac.

#2 – Juvabun Small Bun Hairpieces

You didn’t see this one coming, did you? An extraordinary must-have for women, the suave and sophisticated Juvabun small bun hairpiece is a wunderkind. These hairpieces are ideal for any occasion, as they are a simple, beautiful, stylish keepsake. Jazz up your appearance to suit the mood, whatever the outing. You can opt for a small curly bun, messy hairpiece, or any other fashion statement you want. They come in many colors, shapes, and sizes tailored to expectations. A fabulous accouterment for the woman who wants to look good in a flash, with a simple twist of the wrist. That is precisely what the Juvabun small bun hairpiece does for you.

#3 – Portable Chargers

Ladies, you know you like to talk on your phone – we all do. There’s nothing worse than needing a couple of extra power bars on your smartphone and the low battery light is blinking. That’s where a portable charger comes in extra handy. The longer we use our smartphones, the more we charge them, the shorter the charge lasts. That’s why you must carry one of two things with you – an extended-life battery or a charging case pack for your phone.

You may want to try a car charger that is magnetized. These charging devices don’t plug into your actual phone – those don’t seem to work very well. We recommend something like the Just Wireless Magnetic Charging for MagSafe Charger Car Mount system for this. It won’t damage the connection component at the bottom of your phone since nothing plugs in.

#4 – Moisturizers & Sun Protection

As much as we wanted to avoid the typical accouterments that women carry in their purses for this listicle, we simply couldn’t abandon the all-important moisturizers & sun protection that women need in their purses. Let’s face it: dry skin, chapped skin, blistered skin, or unprotected skin, especially when faced with the elements, is a danger to yourself.

We stress the importance of eco-friendly, no-animal-testing-style moisturizers and sun protection lotions. The list of such products is too extensive for us to specify individual brands, but you know what works with your skin. In terms of sun protection, the higher the UV rating, the better. The sun ages your skin faster, so stay safe and stay young.

#5 – Tracking for Your Keys, Phone, Vehicle Etcetera

This is one of those better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it items on your person. What are tracking devices? Well, they basically tell you where your stuff is when you have forgotten where you left it. Let’s say you dropped your car keys in between the cushions on your sofa, behind your car seat, or accidentally misplaced them in the refrigerator (it happens). Rather than driving yourself dilly, tearing your home apart, and having your blood pressure go through the roof – invest in an affordable set of AirTags.

They are phenomenal, connected by Bluetooth, and powered by a lithium-ion battery that lasts about a year. Attach them to your car keys, your purse, your vehicle (the glove compartment is a great place), and any other valuables that you may misplace. This is especially true if you are parked at the airport and can’t remember where you left your car. Affordably priced, they are worth their weight in gold.

#6 – Oral Care Items

Every time we eat out, there is a strong chance that bits of food or flavor remain in our mouths. That’s why we always recommend a little travel pouch filled with the essentials. These include Oral-B Glide Gloss Picks, a foldable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste, and a mini mouthwash. These are life-saving accouterments, especially after a flavorful lunch. The good news is that these things can fit snugly in your handbag, and they’re easily replenished. Good oral and dental care is sacrosanct. Trust us – this top 10 item selection is worth its weight in gold.

#7 – Tissues, Wipes & Sanitizers

Sorry, we must go there, ladies. Since we are always using our hands, touching things, rubbing our fingers in our eyes, perhaps touching our noses and mouths, etc., we must always keep our hands clean. Tissues, sanitary wipes, and hand sanitizers are handy. We highly recommend all of these items.

#8 – Comb or Brush

Whether you are out in the sun, with the wind blowing, or enjoying a leisurely drive with the air conditioner on, you will want to have a comb or brush on your person. There’s nothing worse than trying to fuss with your hair without these handy utensils. Hopefully, you’ve also remembered to pack your Juvabun small bun hairpiece.

#9 – Meds Like Eye Drops, Tylenol, or Ibuprofen

Our medicine cabinets are often stocked up with essentials like eye drops (eye lubrication, red eye drops, dry eye drops) and pain medication like Tylenol or ibuprofen. But it’s uncanny how often we encounter these problems when away from home. That’s why we always recommend keeping travel-sized Tylenol or Ibuprofen alongside your preferred eyedrops in your purse. Remember, wind and heat dry out your eyes, and fans and air conditioners aren’t any better. Stay safe and be happy with these must-have essentials in your purse.

#10 – Snacks Like Protein Bars

Got the munchies? Maybe you are away from home, and you don’t have any stores in sight. Nobody wants to eat gas station sushi, so break out a protein bar. It’ll sustain you until you get home or to your destination. Plus, it’s plenty healthy and provides a balanced mini-meal for you.
