Men- carrying our loads.

Feel like some of you (men) need a hug.

So- one of the greatest privileges of being a man is that all our clothes have pockets. Good, deep ones at that. Saves us carrying a handbag right? Well do you carry a bag anyway? What kind of bag do you carry and how do you wear it? Is it about fashion or practicality?

My husband uses me as a bag because I'm the one who will wear a baggy fleece with pockets. He'll go out in just a t-shirt (and pants obvs)

I have lots of different types of bag. I have man bags for going out light. Tote bags and even a handbag type tote bag for carrying a bit more and when the fit doesn’t quite warrant a backpack. And then I have the backpack. Which is for when I’m travelling, doing overnights, carrying stuff for picnics, shopping or of course work. But I carry totes to work as well often.

I carry a sexy backpack with all my camera stuff and other bits of equipment in it.

Wear it with both straps like a good boy.... or nerd I guess.

Mr KC has a sleek blue backpack, which he uses for work and family adventures. My wheelchair backrest bag gets used by the whole family for shoving things in

Both straps is essential! We aren’t in secondary school anymore!

So, I have two bags…

Rucksack to carry my laptop from home to work, and when I’m out riding on the motorbike.

Satchel bag for when I’m carrying folders and notebooks etc.

Cargo-type Trousers - T-shirt and maybe a Fleece or Coat.. Practical and Functional ie;Cheap

If I need to take more (ie; 2/3 days clothing and toiletries)it's a "Carry-on" Backpack

The backrest bag can be so full that it tips my chair backwards and it's just the (immense) weight of me keeping it upright

I didn’t realise how much better our pockets were until a few years ago. And a woman joked to me about it, it’s because women don’t have anything important to carry.

Men in continental Europe often carry a little bag. Very practical in the summer when you don't have enough pockets for all the stuff. We are a little too uncomfortable over here for such finery

It's been one of the biggest crimes of fashion, women not having pockets on clothing like men. Thankfully times are changing and we're getting them on dresses and skirts. You know for the important things we don't carry!

Honestly, one of the bonuses of the wheelchair is how much stuff I can carry, hands free and have available at my fingertips!

I'll carry a bag to the gym which carries the usual stuff such as water bottle, headphones, steroids, weightlifting belt, wrist straps etc.

Otherwise, in terms of just going out, I'll carry my wallet, keys and phone in my pockets

Only time I use a bag, is when I need a laptop, my pockets have served me well for 50 odd years. Thats all I need really.
