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.

If I'm carrying a shoulder bag, I only wear it on my right shoulder. If it's a satchel, I start off carrying it on the right arm but will switch it throughout the day so I'm more comfortable (I have a bad habit of carrying too much in my bags).
 
I'm right-handed and carry my bag primarily on my right shoulder. It feels strange on my left and the bag always slides off on that side. But I do find myself putting the bag on my left shoulder when I need to access the bag because the zipper pull is easy to reach with my right hand. When the bag is on my right, the zipper pull is facing back so I can't reach it without taking the bag off my shoulder. In fact... all of my bags with top zippers are oriented this way... I'm always switching to the left only to access the bag... wierd!
 
I am right handed and carry shoulder bags on my right side. Hand held bags I prefer to carry in my right hand but I will switch it to the left if I need my right hand free to do something else.
 
I used to switch between either shoulder, but then I stopped using bags for a bit and now that I use them again I always carry them on my left. I'm right handed.
