"I have a leftover track from my weave that I had done a few weeks ago in my purse. It's not so much that I'm embarrassed, as it is other people feeling extremely awkward every time I open my bag and they see all this hair stuffed in there. You never know when that extra piece may come in handy." -- Tiffanie P.

Tongue Scraper
"I've had horrible allergies my whole life, complete with under-eye bags, nasal drip, and occasional bad breath. My doctor suggested using a tongue scraper, and I've been hooked ever since. I know it sounds gross, but what's grosser is all the germs and gunk that get stuck in your mouth. It might be embarrassing, but my mouth has never felt cleaner." -- Cassie W.
Doesn't it feel like a complete violation of privacy when someone ruffles through your purse? Forget the pat-down at airport security; it�s the guard digging through our tampons, Gas-X pills, and zit cream that really ticks us off.
That's because a woman's purse is like the grown-up version of her old security blanket. But it's even better, since it holds everything we could ever need: cellphone, breath mints, credit cards, and that secret zipper for our unmentionables -- those really embarrassing beauty products we don't want anyone to know we own.
What products are we talking about? Things like extra hairpieces, ancient lip glosses, and diaper rash cream. Sure, dropping these humiliating beauty gems in our purse ups the potential for awkward situations if anyone spots the offending items. But we refuse to ditch them. Why? Because they work, plain and simple.
See the beauty products we're most embarrassed to show you, and tell us what yours are below. We can't be the only ones stashing humiliating stuff, right?
