This is a list of what I think an efficient lifting purse should be like. Keep in mind that thoses are just suggestions.
1. The damn thing : the purse
When you pick out a lifting purse, you need to think about two things, how others see it and how convenient it is.
-Your purse shouldn’t be too flashy. People (including LP) will look more at a bright pink purse than at a brown one.
-Don’t go for the big black MK purse either. Stores know about the lifter-black purse thing and they’ll probably watch you more if they see you walk in with a big black purse.
- The purse itself should be a purse. Not a backpack, not a fanny pack. Nothing that would be suspicious and weird to carry in a mall. If you don’t have a purse that fit those criterias or you’re a guy and don’t carry a purse, I would suggest using a bag from a store that’s close to where you’re lifting. It’s not as convenient as a good lifting purse, but it’s way less sus.
- Your purse should be structured (it should hold it’s shape). A structured purse doesn’t look any different when it’s full. You don’t want LP to be able to tell that you came in with an empy purse and left with a full one. If your purse isn’t structured you’ll have to use the Ziploc method and it can get pretty annoying.
- Your purse shouldn’t have a wide opening. The idea with this is that you can keep it open at all time to slip things in easily but LP can’t easily see what’s inside.
- Your purse should have small pockets inside. Your can keep your lifting tools hidden and organized in thoses.
2. What is inside it (your lifting tools)
**You don’t have to have all of these tools, they’re just ideas.
- If you want, you can place a sweater at the bottom of your purse to keep metal objects from making noise when you drop em in your purse.
- Booster cup if you wanna take tags with you (This is the safest option but make sure to use the cellphone method to test out your booster cup before)
- Magnet and hook (hide those as much as you can because you can get arrested for having those on you)
- Hairties, cards, condom or whatever you use to take off gator tags.(The condom has the added advantage of protecting you from STDs tho)
- Scissors and sewing kit (useful when you don’ have a magnet or hook : just cut a hole where the tag is and sew the clothing back up)
- Something sharp like tweezers or a pen to peel off RFIDs and soft tags if you have short nails.
Have fun and stay safe my fellow lifters. :*
