In male mode? I know purse in fem!
Well I might be a little bold but I for one carry a clutch wallet at all times. Back pocket when I was younger have found out that it messed with my back so went to a small clutch. I've only gotten 2comentis over the years but I know quite a fue looks. Saterday the wife and I were at CVS at check out the s/a said pretty wallet I said thank you and went on. Then on vac not long ago a family friend asked and I told him that I don't like sitting on one.

I use to use a wrist bag many years ago but that got on my nerves every time you went to pick something up so I went to a shoulder bag , been using one for quite a few years now and no one has ever said anything about it .

Back pocket. When en femme, I simply put it in my purse. Don't switch to a "feminine" wallet. :)

I keep mine in my front pocket. I am surprised most men put it in their back pocket, where it can be stolen more easily. I might be open to the idea of carrying a purse as a man, if it was a real purse and I could get away with it, but I don't carry much with me anyway.

Male mode = Male wallet in back left pocket
Female mode = Switch to female wallet and carry it in my purse

Normally in a courier bag, otherwise just a few items in my front pocket (e.g. ID, debit/credit card, cash). I don't have to have all my loyalty cards on me every time I go to a bar or something.

Male mode no wallet.
Something to wipe my nose in my left pocket and keys to the world in my right.:)
Just money in my pocket.
No bulges and it is surprising how much money you can carry forgetting all the dollar bills.
No credit cards, no nuttin'. I am an IT specialist and have never operated an automatic teller machine.
I have no need.

Female mode, purse and shoulder bag accommodate thing I need.

In male mode I have a huge bill-fold wallet like many men and just like my father.

And, just like many men it hurts my back on long drives. Sooooo, I take it out of my pocket when I drive more than just a short distance.

My girl wallet in my right front pocket and into my shoulder bag once home from the shipyard. It's routine for a good while now..Having have lived enough in the third world,I never would carry anything I care about in a back pocket,anyway!

Many years ago, just out of high school, I took a summer job with my friend's father who owned a jewelry manufacturing and repair shop in the heart of downtown in a large city. He recommended to me that I carry my wallet in my front pocket as it would be much harder for someone to steal it there as opposed to a rear pocket.

Fifty years later, I still carry my wallet in my front pocket.

En male: I keep my wallet in a backpack I normally carry (inside zipper pouch). If I am not carrying the backpack I strip out what I need (ID, Credit Cards) can carry in my front pocket (jeans) or inside breast pocket (suit).

En femme: strip out what I need (ID, Credit Cards) and carry in my purse (inside zipper pocket).

I leave mine in my truck most of the time when I'm working, and I don't have it in my back pocket unless I have to. I tried the font pocket for awhile but what with the cell phone and keys my front pockets are full enough. I don't go out dressed but I do have a clutch and small bag my wife gave me that she doesn't use anymore that I have a few things in just in case I get bold.

Purse en femme. Front pocket en drab, or used to was when I wore men's trousers. Now that I'm over to girl jeans, which have teensy front pockets, it's been in my jacket pocket, or in a man bag-purse.

I switched to the front pocket a few years ago because I had a job driving and it was affecting my back. There was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer didn't use a wallet. He simply wrapped driver's license etc. in paper money and stuck it in his pocket. Wallets are to bulky! I knew a guy that used some kind of clear plastic (like for photos) instead of a fat, leather wallet to reduce the size.

In drab I keep a thin man's wallet in my right rear pocket. But it is just a decoy. All of my cards and DL is in a women's zip wallet that I carry in a black string purse. I carry that over my shoulder or sometimes on my back. En fem I move my zip wallet to one of my purses. Leanne

My wallet usually stays in my vehicle when I am in known areas. I discovered the impact it has by being in a back pocket, on your back, the hard way. However when I go to areas I am not sure about, and cities, it goes in one of my pockets or it stays at home. If I am going somewhere that seems really shady I only carry what I need like ID and a hundred bucks and carry it in a pocket or some other secure location. Going anywhere dressed would fall under my category of "really shady" due to the risk factor increasing.

Several years ago the wallet in the back pocket started to irritate the skin on my hip so I started to carry it in my right shirt pocket at work and had my check book and pocket calender in the left shirt pocket, keys cell phone and change in the front pants pockets. Last summer working in the heat with sweat running like a faucet, the wallet in the shirt pocket started to irritate the skin on my chest, soooo I got a womens two zipper wallet and put all the stuff from my pockets except cell phone and pens in the wallet which I carry under my arm. The cell phone now goes in my shirt pocket where I can hear it ring better. Just last nite one of my guy friends at church said " What have you got? a man purse?" I said NO, that's my wallet! We kidded back and forth and then I told him about all of the skin irritation and he pulled out a very thick wallet from his back pocket and told me that it makes his leg go to sleep!! Maybe he'll be carring a different wallet one of these days! I don't go out of the house dressed yet, but I just bought a nice over the shoulder bag that will carry the wallet, sunglasses etc when I do go out. Bria

Male mode = Male wallet in back left pocket
Female mode = Switch to female wallet and carry it in my purse

That's very similar to what I usually do except that I use the back right pocket (and only if it has a button or zip - otherwise contents of wallet get split between front pockets). I must be odd in that wallet in right hip pocket doesn't cause any discomfort when driving!

Male wallet in a shoulder bag / purse in both modes. The purse comes in handy for other things too - mine has a rear pocket for my IPad, and it keeps keys and other stuff out of my pockets as well. As others have said, sitting on a wallet in the back pocket isn't healthy - plus the mag strips on cards wear out faster.

I keep mine in my front pocket as well, don't like the look of it when it's in the back pocket, much too thick. in girl mode it's in.... wait in girl mode I do not leave the house.....

My oldest son doesn't like sitting on a wallet either, and so he uses a money clip that has a slot for a credit card and his driver's license. He does not notice sitting on this. The rest of the stuff (medical cards, etc) stay on his bedside table until he is ready to use them. He keeps all the promotional/discount cards (i.e. buy 10 and get the 11th free) together with his AAA card in his glove compartment until ready for use.

I should do this myself. It would make things simpler if I ever lost my wallet. :p

Jillian does it the same way I do, however I put my female wallet in a zipper compartment in my purse.

Naturally a purse when I can but in male mode I have taken to carrying my wallet in my hand as kepping it in the back pocket has bent or broken most of my cards.

I'm not a creature of habit. I like the front pocket because it doesn't impact your posture and a pickpocket will have a harder time getting at it. I also like using a sports belt that clips around your waist and has a zipper pocket...works in either mode, and a purse, but I tend to keep my money and card loose in a pocket in the purse because I don't have a feminine looking wallet and I keep my male wallet somewhere in there in case I need ID. I tried keeping bills tucked in my bra and garter, but it looks a little trashy...

I stopped using a wallet many years ago- when my wife said - " you have such a nice butt and the wallet makes you look lopsided "

Well then. Only ever need cash and license and debit card. Wrap cash around other two -front pocket.

If I dress outside, it's usually while driving, so- said clip goes in the vehicle.

Haven't owned a wallet for....well I forget. Use a compact bill clip with some slots for ID and CC's. Very compact. Just drop the lot into my shoulder purse when dressed and out.

When carried in a pants pocket, its always the front one. Security habit from visiting way too many not-so-nice places.

I love simple and this is, at least for me.

Hugs, Robin

In drab, front left pocket, always.
En femme, i just stick the whole thing in my little black purse.
My ocd needs to keep evrything where I am used to it being or i loose things.

A number of years ago I was carrying my wallet in my left front pocket, bemoaning the fact that I had too much carry in the wallet (not money, but cards and ID and such.

I was on the beach on the west coast, killing time, and searching through stalls set up on the beach. I ran across this lovely "purse" the same size as my wallet, with four zippered pockets, in black leather. It required that I fold my bills, but one pouch I use for change, two for cards (great for electronic subway cards as I don't have to remove them from the "purse", and the middle for small bills. This purse now goes into my left front pocket, and my now much thinner wallet goes in my left back pocket.

I love this little zippered purse and find that I use it more than my wallet!

I also carry a clutch wallet. It is red in some faux leather. I used to switch between a male and female wallet and then I got annoyed and just stuck with the clutch. I tend to carry it in my hands while in male mode, but my male bluejeans tend to have large enough pockets to stuff it into the back pocket while shopping.

Usually in an over-the-shoulder purse regardless of whether I'm in boy mode or girl mode. I use the same wallet for both, too.

Jennifer in CO
11-18-2013, 06:23 PM
hate sittin on it hence its in the coat pocket during the winter or DL and a CC in the front pocket when out. Actually had a Dr tell me once that he saw more back problems in males just to how they sat (rump lifted on one side). If I HAVE to carry the whole thing, console of the car is where it stays most of the time

I use an over the shoulder purse with a gal's wallet inside. It has been a bout ten years since I had a problem with a man's wallet in my right rear pocket causing nerve problems. Very few people ask why. If they are really nosy I show then my diabetes test kit.

I carry a female zipper wallet in my male-mode shoulder bag which is styled like a miniature messenger bag!

When I was in high school I carried my wallet in my back pocket like all the cool boys. That lasted until it fell out while riding my dirt bike. I had to backtrack miles to find a brown wallet lost somewhere in the brown grass growing along the brown trails. After that I bucked the cool boys' trend and kept in in my front pocket.

That ended when the amount of stuff I wanted to carry exceeded the capacity of my pockets and belt pouches. I started to look like a deputy sheriff with all that stuff hanging on my belt. I started to carry a canvas briefcase, but that turned into a junk-dump so I went with a smaller bag that carried all my stuff, but nothing extra:

I don't carry this bag in female mode, My female wallet and makeup bag just get swapped into whatever bag I fancy to wear and off I go!

In male mode, the left back pocket is the most convenient for me. Even though I don't like sitting on that hard lump there is really no other convienient means while I'm a guy. In girl mode however, I alwys carry my wallet in my purse along with all my other female essentials, perfume, lipstick, makeup, hair brush, etc.

I use a clutch. It is either in the man bag, side cargo pocket or I just hold onto it. Clutches are much easier to keep bills, coins, cards, receipts, etc organized.

I have a small female wallet I carry in my right front pocket. just use it to carry my ID and a few cards. My cash I carry in my left front pocket. I'll sometimes carry a purse in male mode...but remove the shoulder strap and carry it in my hand.

For the last 6 months or so, I have only used a female wallet. It either goes into my suit front pocket, into a purse, or gets dropped into a basket at the front door, along with my keys, and security access badge. My wallet contains the usual drivers license, credit cards, and money. No pictures.

About six months ago my wife sent my old five year old flip cell phone which clipped to my belt through the wash. Maybe her way of getting me to upgrade phones. Not a big fan of the cell phone. My wallet doubles as a cell phone and ear bud holder. If I lose one I have lost both.

I use to have a small wallet that I carried in my front pant pocket.

I have a female wallet that I use in either mode. In male mode I now use a wrist bag but am looking to upgrade to something like a man bag. I have way to much stuff to be carrying it in my pocket, and I like having nothing in my pockets. In female mode I use a purse.

Small wallet for id and credit cards and cellphone in left side pocket of pants or skirts.

Bill fold, very small coin purse and keys in right pocket.

Small hand purse for makeup and other items.

Skirts pockets usually have no bulge. Unfortunately pants pockets do. As long as they don't bulge too much.

Better pockets bulging than me!

Now I only carry this with matching phone case:

Male mode - I carry it in my coat pocket or just by it's lanyard.
enfemme - It goes in my purse next to my clutch.

I only keep my license and debit card in it, my clutch has all my other important stuff, so now I do most of my shopping enfemme.

I have a simple silver Tiffany money clip. ID, bank card, credit card, and cash (tri-folded). It goes in the back right pocket. Slim enough that I don't notice it.
