Do you carry your bag on the left or right side?

Which side do you prefer most?

  • Left

  • Right

  • Either side don't matter. I'm comfortable and switch between both.

  • It depends on where I wear it, like my arm, shoulder, hand, etc. Combo of both.

I'm right handed but I wear my bag on my right shoulder. The reason I do this though is that my left shoulder is ever so slighty lower than my right so if I try to carry a bag on it it slips off. With handbags I usually carry them in my right hand although I have been known to alternate it.

I didn't know, so I just picked it up, and I immediately put it on my right shoulder. But I do switch from arm to shoulder to hand depending on the situation and what else I'm carrying.
 
Even though I'm right-handed, I tend to wear my bags on my left shoulder or in my left hand. It just feels more natural and comfortable that way.

I have a problem with the nerves in my neck and shoulders, and if I wear a bag for too long on either shoulder it makes the arm and hand on that side ache...so I tend to have to switch back and forth every ten to fifteen minutes. But bags still don't feel comfortable on my left shoulder, even though I have been doing this for years!
