I do not have a purse, and I have not had one for a very long time . I am thinking that I have not had a purse for 20 years, but maybe 15 or 17 years is more accurate.
I do use a fanny pack. When I was doing community social work, I stopped carrying my purse (leaving it in the trunk of my car) to reduce my vulnerability for attack, and so that I could honestly tell the clients who asked for handouts that I did not have cash with me.
At some point, I discovered the value of a fanny pack. I did not need to carry much with me, and what I did need to carry, could fit in a fanny pack. The fanny pack worked, because when I was well enough to walk, I could just strap it on me and walk. I like the fanny pack because I can connect the strap to a shopping cart, or hang it on a chair in a restaurant. The fanny pack still allows me to carry the essentials, but I do not need a large bag, or an ostentatious bag. I just carry the essentials.
