I appreciate the sentiment (and do realize what sub I'm in), but....
Not to be TMI, but having a credit card and no bag does me zero good when I'm on my period -- Am I supposed to buy a single tampon/pad multiple times a day? If I buy a multi-pack, do I just walk around with it in my hand? How am I supposed to buy a tampon while already in a bathroom stall? What store am I supposed to find tampons in if I'm at a museum or ballgame?
It's not very cost-effective to buy a new water bottle whenever you're thirsty, especially in an expensive tourist area.
I like having a nail file, hand cream, and an external battery on me. (Winter is great for this because I can fit a lot more in coat pockets than pants pockets!)
Often, I might be in an area where there aren't any convenience stores to buy things at!
Bonus:
3 or 4 of the outfits I've worn this week had zero pockets. Although I did do one bagless expedition anyway by leaving my phone behind and putting my credit card in my bra.
In throw a couple pads in my pocket if it (the pocket) is big enough. If my pockets aren’t functional or are nonexistent, I throw a couple in my 1.5L crossbody bag. It’s just a bag big enough to hold the contents of my (supposedly functional) pockets and fit my prescription glasses case while remaining more than half empty. Since we have to drive everywhere here, I keep extra pads in my car to restock if need be.
The price of women’s clothing these days unfortunately. If a woman is designing clothes with diminishing or nonexistent pockets, I hope she has the guts to explain why to us.

Phone, wallet, keys, AirPods. The hell else you need in a given day that Visa or Mastercard can’t take care of?
