No thank you...I laugh just a bit when a see a dude with a man bag. I know it's a bit mean, but I honestly can't help it.

To be fair, if more women's clothing had pockets, I wouldn't carry a purse either. Who has that much stuff? Keys, wallet, lip balm. Any more than that and you probably need a messenger bag anyway.

I have a manbag (it's kind of like a small satchel) and am forever getting abuse about it at the office (even from randoms from randoms on the bus).

It's just a bag - I don't see what the issue is. It's not exactly cool but does the job well as it's just the right size and has compartments so I know where my stuff is.

Screw 'em.

Get a biohazard mask then. You have more chance if contracting something via your airways.

Wallet, car keys, perhaps a few coins in pocket. Phone tends to be held even if I'm not using it. Jobs a good 'un for me

It's just to let you know, that the wet wipes and gel are completely unnecessary. You have been sold lies by the manufacturers. You don't need them. You didn't have them as a child, and I bet you got far dirtier then. The world hasnt got dirtier, but not allowing yourself exposure to germs, leaves you more open to attack from them. Dirt is your friend.

Luckily I don't suffer with OCD or right about now I would be trying to eat my own head, I use wet wipes and sanitizer simply because I want to, it doesn't matter that I wash my hands after going to the loo, some people don't, and use the door handle to get out of the (public) toilet, so I would say that the hand sanitizer and wet wipes are a better idea that you think

My man bag contains the essentials: wet wipes to remove foundation and lipstick which may have somehow found its way onto me over a lunchtime and smints.

It also contains the crap from my pockets so the only buldgy bits you see in my trousers are the ones you want to see
