My, this is a male oriented thread on the rather male TS&S forum on a male dominated website. (Not that I am complaining about any of that!)
Most women do not wear their wallet in their clothing, unlike most men. We put our wallets inside our purses in the normal course of events. Mine tends to be inside a zipped pocket of my usual travel purse. Thus we don't have the same sequence of events of removing the wallet to place it inside a bag. We do have the challenge however of being able to keep an eye on our bags at all times.
I have no idea of the solution to the situation (perhaps a murse?), just thought it amusing that it was 4 pages of wallet discussion and removing it from ones body, when a large portion of the population doesn't wear a wallet on their body.
