“The average woman’s handbag now weighs the same as FIVE bags of sugar” reports:
Women be warned - it’s not just your bag that is struggling with the extra burden. Chiropractors have noticed an increase in injuries related to heavy handbags and said earlier this year they were considering issuing a warning.
Therapist Tim Hutchful explained: “The problem with carrying a heavy bag is that while it may not cause you an injury at the time, it has a cumulative effect.
“We’re seeing more instances of back pain triggered as a result.”
