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

As a massage therapist, you should try rotating shoulders. I've had clients whose one shoulder is lower from the weight of thier handbags.

Usually right, but for crossbody bags in particular I prefer the strap on my left shoulder.

Is that from the weight or just how your muscles tense to keep it on your shoulder?

I alternate between crossbodies and messengers on my left shoulder and totes and hobos on my right so hopefully it balances out! I do feel like the weight sits differently based on how long the strap is. The crossbodies always seem to end up hurting the shoulder more...

I prefer wearing them on my right shoulder. I'm right handed.

I do switch if that one gets tired, but I really don't like it on the other side. It just doesn't seem as comfortable! I never let it stay on that side for long.

I usually begin wearing my bags on my right side. Sometimes when my right shoulder aches I will switch side.

Shoulder: Right
Crook of arm: Right
By hand: Right

I don't do anything with my left hand except change the gears in my car

Left all the time, they won't stay on my right shoulder for some reason lol.

I used to always carry my purse on the right side but attended a Women In Business event a few years back where the speaker mentioned that it's best to carry your purse on the left so your right hand is free for shaking hands while networking. So I made the switch

Always left! i'm right handed so find I need my right arm free all the time

What a fun thread reading everyones preferences! I'm right handed. When using my bag on the shoulder I use my right shoulder. But the crook in the arm is on my left side. Cant explain that!

I try to switch sides but I am usually more comfortable carrying it on the right side. I am right-handed.

 

[Risha S]

Usually on the right in my case.

Right handed, my bag usually positions on my left side: ie. when carrying crossbody the strap stays on right shoulder; when carrying tote the straps on left shoulder; when carrying via crook of arm on left arm. This free up my right hand
