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

[Shoebaglady]

My bag has to be on my left. It isn't comfortable on my right!

 

[Necromancer]

right shoulder (unless it's a cross body bag, in which case it's my left shoulder)

shoulder carry left only
arm/crook of elbow, usually left
hand carry, either side doesn't matter.

 

[cascherping]

Usually on my right hand side

I have to carry my bag on my left arm - I'm right handed. I find I prefer having my "strong" arm/hand free to use, it just feels more comfortable KWIM?

I carry mine on my right shoulder. If it's a top handle bag, I prefer carrying it on my left arm.

Right.... allways... feels funny on the left...

 

[supermom_dcm]

i never really thought about it... but now that i DO, i realize that i always sling my purse over my left shoulder first.

it's my first instinct.

Left handed, but wear my bags on my right shoulder.

I'm right handed and only use my right shoulder, can't use the left at all, it feels completely wrong and uncomfortable, don't even try it there these days. But if I use crook of arm its always the left arm, haven't even tried the right one, just feels good on the left, if I'm carrying a bag in my hand usually the right, but i can easily use my left, it's weird but seems we all have the same arm issues so i guess you'd call it normal :o)

Ok, this might sound a bit silly, but I'm really curious
I noticed, that I can't wear my bags on my left shoulder! It's not that it's more comfortable on the right, I just can't have them left... Am I crazy? *lol*
When I feel I need a break from carrying my bag, I'd love to change the side. But I have to carry the bag in my hand then, cause it always slips from my left shoulder... I'm right handed and "right shouldered"
How about you?

No - you are not alone!! I am left - handed, but just can't carry it on my left shoulder/arm - does'nt feel right! Also, a bit of curious info I read - and this might tempt me to alternate, is that apparently, the side of the body you usually carry the bag on can eventually start carrying more muscle/fat??!!....Yep, I actually read this in the Daily Mail a while ago...what will they come up with next....but it's made me a little paranoid as I don't want to become lopsided!!!!

I'm left-handed also! I carry my bags on my right arm and shoulder. It feels odd on my left. However, this isn't surprising for me because writing is the only thing I do with my left--e.g., I cut and throw with my right.

It's the exact same for me! Weird.

 

[wareagle]

Left shoulder. Always. I'm right handed. I will even carry my carry on tote with my purse on my left shoulder when I travel. I have to have my right arm free. However, if its a crossbody I hang it on my right shoulder with the bag on my left hip. Odd....

I'm a breast cancer survivor and developed lymphedema in my left arm/hand a year ago. I have to wear my handbags on my right shoulder, as I'm not supposed to put any additional weight/strain on my left shoulder. When my daughter was born, I couldn't carry my daughter in a sling like other new moms .

I'm left-handed, and if it weren't for the lymphedema, I would naturally wear my handbags on my left shoulder.
