My first job was at a large hospital, and I distinctly remember that the head of nursing had a "lady drawer" LOL with toothbrush/paste, deodorant, toiletries, socks/underwear, etc. In the event of bad weather or other emergency, staff could not leave the building unless/until the full next shift arrived. So she was always prepared.
I wasn't that extreme about it, but did keep a lady drawer of my own with deodorant, toothbrush, tampons, tylenol and snacks at pretty much every job I ever had. No underwear though. I tried to keep it to stuff that wouldn't be completely weird if someone had to look through my desk.

I did when I was pregnant. And at work I do have a drawer of snacks, tampons, deodorant, brunch, nail file, and lotion. But more often than not, it's my middle school students who. Red access, not me.

I never have, with the disclaimer that I haven't dealt with super heavy/irregular periods or bladder issues. When I was pregnant and things were more "active", I wore and carried panty liners.
I have literally never thought of having this in my 46 years of life. I hope I’m not jinxing myself and find myself in need of emergency underwear now.

I'm sure you meant brush but this gave me the church giggles LOL

Before I got my perimenopausal shark attack periods under control, I would carry an extra pair in my laptop bag when I went to the office (once a week.) Extra black leggings would have been wise too, as I've had a few incidents that made me eminently grateful I have a black office chair.

Lol, I am so literal, I took it for what it said. I was here thinking, “man, not only do some people carry underwear around, some even keep an extra brunch in their drawers!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The owner seemed really great and someone I’d wanna be friends with.
Why do I feel that “one size fits most” biodegradable panties aren’t actually the convenience they put themselves out to be?
I thought I read they were reuseable. I've worn the papery one size at spas. I'd 100% trust the need to be replaced underwear over those flimsy things that have zero absorbancy and want to fall down.
If I carried a spare anything it would be a shirt and pants. you can always just take off your underwear.
Agreed. That time when I drank something that disagreed with me in a big and urgently downward way, spare underpants would have been nice. But fortunately I got to the bathroom in time to save my pants, so I went commando the rest of the day. Had I been slower getting to the bathroom, let's just say spare underpants would not have been enough anyway...
Also, may I just take this moment to recommend against drinking an entire jar of olive brine at once. Unless you need a laxative. And have spare pants handy.

Underwear takes up no space, pants and a shirt take up the whole purse.
I can live with a stain on my shirt, and I’m certainly not at a stage in my life where I’m going commando (not sure there was ever that stage 🤣).
I do. My periods are horrific and stress incontinence. I did get bladder sling surgery a few months ago so that’s no longer an issue. But there is still one day during my period where I don’t feel comfortable leaving the house more than for a short time and so I do keep a pair of period underwear, tampon and black leggings in a bag that stays in my car.
No, but honestly after my last period, I am probably going to start at least keeping a spare pair at work. While I agree with "if I need to change them, it's time to go home"...well, that doesn't quite cover actually getting home without undies/tights that you had to throw in the garbage immediately. Ugh.
