1. Chapstick
You don't want to kiss him with flakey lips. That's why you should always have Chapstick on hand.
***
Chapstick is an essential item for any date night. It is a wax-like substance that is applied to the lips to provide a layer of protection and moisturization. It helps to keep lips soft and smooth, and prevents them from becoming chapped. It can also be used to create a glossy look. Chapstick is available in a variety of flavors and can be purchased at most drugstores, supermarkets, and convenience stores. It is important to keep Chapstick on hand during a date, as it is essential for keeping your lips looking and feeling their best.
Absolutely! Your phone is not just for texting or snapping cute pictures. It's your safety net. You can call someone if plans change or if you need help. Plus, having a maps app is a lifesaver if you're navigating somewhere unfamiliar.
Yes, bringing some cash is a wise idea! It's useful for splitting bills where cards might not be accepted or for tipping in places that prefer cash. You don't want to be caught off guard!
Oh, definitely bring your phone, a small wallet with some cash and cards, a travel-size perfume or deodorant, a compact mirror, and some lip balm or lipstick. You never know when you'll need a touch-up or a quick selfie!
I always suggest a travel-size version of your favorite perfume. It's just the right amount for a quick refresher, especially if the date stretches into a longer evening or includes a lot of walking or dancing!
A compact mirror is super handy to check if your makeup is still on point or if there's anything in your teeth. It's just a quick way to freshen up without needing a restroom!
2. Mirror
You don't want to end up with food in your teeth or smudged makeup. If you have a mirror with you, then you can make sure that you're always looking your best.

3. Condoms
You can't rely on the boy to bring protection with him. If you're thinking about sleeping with him, then you should carry some condoms with you to keep yourselves safe.
***
Condoms are an essential item to carry with you on a date. Whether you are planning on having sex or not, it is important to be prepared in case the situation arises. Not only can condoms help protect against unwanted pregnancies, but they can also help protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
When choosing condoms, it is important to make sure that they are FDA approved and that they are the right size. It is also important to check the expiration date, as expired condoms can be less effective. It is also important to check for any visible damage to the condom before using it.
It is also important to know how to properly use a condom. Make sure that you read the directions on the package before using it. It is also important to use a new condom for each act of intercourse, and to make sure that the condom is applied correctly. It is also important to make sure that the condom is not too tight or too loose.
Finally, it is important to dispose of the condom properly after use. Do not flush condoms down the toilet, as this can cause plumbing issues. Instead, wrap the condom in a tissue or paper towel and throw it away in the trash.

8. Hairbrush
If you two end up getting frisky, you'll probably ruin your hairdo. But if you carry a brush with you, you'll be able to fix it in his bathroom mirror.
***
It's always important to be prepared on a date, and having the right items in your purse can make all the difference. A hairbrush is an essential item to carry, especially if you plan on getting a little frisky. You never know when you'll need to fix your hairdo, and having a brush with you will make it easy to do so in the bathroom mirror.
You don't have to carry a full-sized hairbrush; a small, travel-sized one will do just fine. Look for one that has both a brush and a comb, so you can easily brush, detangle, and style your hair. You can also look for a brush that has a mirror on the back, so you can check your appearance while you're on the go.
When it comes to your hairdo, you don't want to take any chances. Having a hairbrush on hand will help you keep your hair looking great all night long. It's also a great way to freshen up after a romantic kiss or two. So don't forget to grab your brush before you head out on your date!

9. Hair Tie
If you're sexually active, you might want to tie your hair back during intercourse. That way, the strands won't get in the way.
***
A hair tie is an essential item that should be kept in your purse during a date. Not only can it be used to keep your hair out of your face, but it can also be used to tie your hair up during sexual activity. This is especially useful if you have long hair, as it can get in the way of your partner during intercourse.
A hair tie can also be used to create a variety of hairstyles, such as a low ponytail, a messy bun, or a half-up half-down style. It can also be used to create a more polished look for a date night, such as a sleek bun or a neat ponytail.
In addition to a hair tie, it's also important to carry other items in your purse during a date. These can include things like a lip balm, a compact mirror, and a few bobby pins in case you need to make any quick adjustments to your hair. It's also a good idea to have a few tissues on hand in case of any unexpected tears. Finally, it's always a good idea to have a few extra hair ties in your purse, just in case you need one.
