I often struggle with what to do with my mobile phone when I am dressed at home. As I’m often wearing a skirt and top, I will sometimes tuck it into the waistband. But it isn’t very secure there. Occasionally I might tuck it into my bra, but it isn’t comfortable or sightly. Often I leave it in one room and just get messages later (or run after it if I hear it ringing).
Today I’m wearing a floor length velvet dress with a mock turtle neck. So I don’t have the ability to tuck it into a waistband, and reaching down the tight neckline is awkward. So I’m going to have to either remember to carry it with me from room to room, or wear a fanny pack.
I’m wondering how others deal with this. Since I have multiple strategies, I made this multiple choice. Pick up to 3 choices.
My phone doesn’t rule my life, I lived quite fine for many years before they were even available and often even have the ringer turned off, especially if I’m enjoying myself. If I’m waiting for a particular txt or call I’ll move it with me.
It is simple for me, I only turn it on when I’m not home and I need to make a call. People learned not to call it because it might be weeks before I would see. Some have said I will text you, I tell them don’t bother for the same reason, also I don’t text anyway. If you want to call me use our house phone, I refuse to be a slave to a phone, if need to email someone I will use my PC. I find it really annoying when someones phone is constantly beeping and they have to see what it is, mute it and but the stupid thing down.
I have a couple of denim skirts with pockets. I really enjoy wearing one particular skirt when I am working about on the property.
Its got glue, paint, and oil stains on it. Possibly some nail polish as well.
I find it frustrating that my dresses and other skirts don’t have pockets.
I wear ladies jeans a fair bit. But their tiny pockets frustrate me as well.
I’m “old school” enough and dont get that many calls, so my phone stays in the one spot when I’m in the house, whether in Caty or male mode.
If I’m out shopping as Caty, it stays in the car. Male me will carry it in my my pocket when out.
I also run two old “clunkers”, one for Caty and one for male me. Dont need a smart version and dont want one.

I refuse to let my mobile phone become an electronic leash. Too much of that these days. I managed just fine in the years before they were invented.
At home I set it down somewhere and check it once in a while. When I’m out and about, I carry it in a pocket or purse, depending on how I’m presenting. I leave my phone on silent or vibrate most times, with most app notifications disabled.
Hi Alison and Gurlz.
Another option was not there…
My handbag which all good gurlz must have, moves from room to room with me – so I am one of the two that added fanny pouch… to include that option!
Roxie.Mine is most always in the same place in my living room. When it’s not, it isn’t far away as we have a quite small house. I have done the tuck into bra thing occasionally as well. Since I’m retired, nobody calls except telemarketers anyway. My wife always sends text messages which give me the opportunity to respond later. Good question!
Hi Samantha
I think you are answering my handbag issues… 🤔.I think you may call it a continental shift to Africa 😄 but we carry money in a purse, a purse in a handbag… on a night out we may opt for limited cards and a few 100 Rand… then we would take a clutch (bag)… which is either held in the hand like a our money purses or on a light chain or thin belt over the shoulder…
Or maybe it is just a North South Hemisphere thing?… 😀🙃

Yip 😄 but our phones are our windows onto a beautiful world- need them close to the typing fingers.
EVERYONE here, has one if not two or three…
Roxie.
A good deal of the time it’s actually on a tripod getting some good pics in… because I’m not going to go through all that effort with nothing to show for it! For the rest of the time it’s same as when I’m in drab, it sits on a charger in my living room (my place is very small so hearing/answering it isn’t much of a problem regardless where I happen to be).
I guess I’m a bit of a luddite, so this may sound a little provocative.
I just don’t consider a mobile phone as a significant other. It lives wherever I last put it down, whether I’m dressed or not. I misplace it regularly, often forgetfully go out without it, and and so far the sky hasn’t fallen on my head. I can’t imagine stuffing it down bras or pants.
That’s an easy one for me. I never owned a cellphone to even worry about it.
So make things easy on yourself. Throw out the cellphone and get yourself a big rotary phone payphone. Then you can be like Superman, Superwoman or Supertrans depending on your case
Have to have my phone on me for work só…
Sandra –
That’s an excellent idea. I was home alone one time and in the process of getting dressed when my wife called. I wasn’t paying attention and just answered the call only to find out it was a video call. She got upset to see that I was in the process of dressing and ended the call. We talked about it a couple days later and a few times after that and worked things out. Part of the problem was that she thought I no longer dressed because of a conversation we had previously. I won’t make that mistake again.

Seeing as I came from the generation where we had pay phones I don’t really carry my phone that much around with me. If I’m at the house it depends on the outfit that I’m wearing like say maybe I’m wearing jeans or my shorts and I will slide it in my back pocket if I know there’s a call that I need to answer other than that I will just set it down and I don’t even think about it. If I’m out I usually will either have my purse or I’ll have my wrist clutch and I will stick my phone in there and even then it just depends on where I’m going
I carry mine with me from room to room. As I wear dresses and skirt/blouse combos that either don’t have pockets or the pockets are too small for a phone it is easier to carry it from room to room. As I only dress in the house I’ve never seen the need to carry a purse, but now I’m thinking that a purse would complete my outfit. Maybe I’ll try that next time I’m dressed.
XOXO
