  I saw a neat little gadget the other day.. A bit like a turkey Baster only smaller with 200ml capacity. it was advertised as "safe for use in the ocean". Intriguing idea. I want one! I can mount it on my bike somewhere like an airhorn. I carry bike or car keys, phone and wallet... no more. Inside the wallet resides an emergency condom, a sachet of lube, one drivers license, one credit card and cash. Coins go in the coin pocket of my pants/shorts or the ashtray of the car, or in my ventura sports bag on the bike. Man bags are definitely not something to carry around all day everyday. I have no idea how women manage to lug around all the shit that they do without dislocating a shoulder or permanently damaging their spines. Hugs Stalky

  If I need an aspirin, I just ask the nearest woman. :p I have previously considered the situation. You see, men rarely need an aspirin unless in the company of women... and women always seem the have them... so why fuck with the system. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Hugs Stalky

Your sun glasses? xxMeeks

  The turkey baster thingy sounds interesting, brilliant idea to disguise it as a horn for when your family and friends ask. "what the fk is that?" Uncle Fred you horn doesn't work? I have been squeezing it all day and apart from a little dribble it just isn't making any sound?

  Many of them have trouble remembering tiny little obscure details like they have a wife and kids tucked away at home so how could we possibly expect them to remember something so important, something that contains so much of thier lives as a man bag? No, I am sorry, I fear that the responsiblity of carrying around something so dreadfully important would be just too much for the majority of men.

  I know a few guys with them but not the shoulder strap kind, more like a large leather wallet. These guys travel a lot, as in passports and I mean with the s, as they have secret men stuff to do. phone, glasses yep panadol And yep they sometimes leave it on a table in a coffee shop, just like the purse. I love my Italian Leather Bag, the great void, I think a man fell into my handbag and I have yet to find him, but now and again I hear his faint calls for help. I carry a ton of stuff, including toothbrush, hairbrush, change of knickers, band aides, panadole, condoms( its amazing how I am like an eagle scout). Its like the magic rabbit trick out of a hat, when I go for something in my handbag. I have a very bad back as a result. I am thinking smaller does have its perks.

  Not the nice leather satchel type Meeks but very useful none the less. The shag bag or Go Bag contained all essential items for play dates. Very handy little thing hubby and i each had one.

  Indeed the only boys I've ever had visit me carrying man bags had them stocked with all sorts of goodies (or should that be 'naughties'?)My sac-des-salaciousness doesn't travel tho, it's too damn heavy, I'd need a suitcase with wheels and a boy in a sexy bellhop costume to move it ;)xx Sarah

  I like my manbag. I couldn't possibly carry it around all the time and I do try to leave with the bare minimum (keys, wallet and phone) but there are times when I need to carry more stuff. It is very handy then.

  I'm scared to put my hand in one. It's one of the few ladies bits I can say that about. :p Hugs Stalky

  The man bag is a recent thing for me but now essential, and I have a few to cater for each occasion (and to match the shoes of course!)Used to live where a car was essential and everything was in the console. Now in the inner city and rarely if ever drive so carry everything with me. Also travel quite a bit so have a couple of versions for that as well.So, putting my manhood aside for a moment, here's my favourites:The day tripper - enough for my Mac Air, camera with small lens, iPod, phone, wallet, toothbrush (in case of flight delays), tissues, mints, pens, notepad etc and containing nothing that will hold me up at the airport.The outing (no that's not a pun) - DSLR camera and lenses, water, mini torch, swiss army knife, phone, wallet, mints, pen and small notepad.The shopper/overnighter - used for shopping trips it can carry my camera, water and my favourites from the markets. Used as an overnighter it can fit everything from the day tripper plus a change of clothes.Not into leather though, mine are all of the Crumpler canvas variety (Google their bags if you don't know them but be warned they are addictive). My wife thinks I'm a bit pedantic, until she travels with me and gets left behind in the queues while I smugly enjoy my efficiency over a wine in the Qantas Club.What I couldn't do is carry one around at night in the pubs and clubs, for that I just dump what won't fit in my pockets in her handbag and hope for the best.Don't get me started on the travel luggage...Mr Chick

I leave clothes in hotels. If I travel with my x, it all goes in his bag and I have my handbag and that’s it. Never buy crap as in souvenirs. Only carry or take what you don’t mind loosing. I am a great packer can go the world with a shoulder bag, but its the darn shoes that are a problem. Just have to have one pair of heels, runners, thongs, flat shoes, sandals ohhhh bugger get me another bag for my shoes!

  I started out with a small handbag. I could stuff my purse, keys, phone and a packet of panadol. Then I met my partner. My handbag became a bit bigger to accommodate a second set of keys and a slim wallet.The current handbag is called "The Tardis" because it is small enough to get past those pesky bag-check ladies at Big W but large enough to hold two sets of keys, purse, three phones, a couple of pads, half a pharmacy of pills, a navman GPS, a light-weight cardigan, two pairs of reading glasses and a wallet that has grown fat, not with cash, but with business cards, receipts and several petrol discount vouchers.Any mugger attempting a handbag snatch will end up with a hernia.My handbag is both manbag and womanbag. Bring on the manbag as a must have fashion item pleeeeeeese!

  ...and would be lost without either. The shoulder version carries the day to day things that I need (or think I do like a laptop, food and water bottle) and the smaller hand sized one collects at the stuff like wallets, keys, the phone, loose change etc. | I used to get a bit of shinola chucked my way about the smaller one...until I explained to the boys that back home we also called them a holster and Beretta made one just like mine for that very purpose. | "Are ya feelin' lucky..." | | Yeah, I know...he had a .44 Magnum six-shooter but those are so passe'.
