Having recently explored some situations that everyone experiences but rarely talks about, now we have one just for the ladies. Because of course, there are many aspects to being a woman that are unique to women only, secrets of the sisterhood that you might be surprised to find are far more common than you thought!

It's not just you who has a nicely stocked wardrobe, yet ignores 95% of it in favor of the same 4 0r 5 trusty outfits. If you check out the list below, you'll realize that there's a whole world of women out there that go through exactly the same things as you! So go ahead, read on and don't forget to share your own thoughts in the comments!

Especially when the pockets aren’t obvious. When I was a kid I loved to sneak candy that way.

that's because pockets are SO HANDY, and dresses and skirts hardly ever have them. it's seriously something i get excited about!

Dresses and skirts??? MOSTLY EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING DIRECTED TOWARDS WOMEN!! We get fake pockets and tiny pockets but when something has pockets we are excited!!!! It's the little things in life.

It's because it's so rare to have functional pockets in women clothing. Babies have real pockets in their clothing, but why not women

Because dresses with pockets do not happen too often. They want to show them off because you would never know they were there if they didn't

I dont get why most women clothes dont have real big pockets. I only buy guys jeans because they are the only ones where i can fit my hands and phone.

It's part of a larger theme where men's clothes are practical and women's are decorative.

This is so true, not only do I do it myself, but I came across an old photo from the 1870's and the woman's dress hand pockets! She obviously had her hands in them, I mean, how would we know they were there if she didn't? I got so excited, I had to call my husband over so I could show him another woman's pockets.

I absolutely need pockets - have constant Rhinitis and need tissues on me at all times.

It's because it took this long for male designers to realize women need pockets as much as men. SMH at women designers who tried to add them but were told they add a bad silhouette so they got nixed.

I don’t understand why pockets in dresses are so uncommon back when all women wore were dresses they had pocket like pouches that ether were tied around your waist or pinned there the petty coat even had slits in them to be able to use them

No, no fact check needed. Women get really stoked if we get dresses or skirts with pockets. I sorta makes me feel like a grown up!

It's like a little hidden surprise for us when we try the dress on. Pockets! It has pockets!! That means we most likely won't have to lug around a purse with all our junk in it. Pockets!!!!!

I only buy dresses now that have pockets, I've gone so far as to put pockets into my older dresses that didn't have them. Guys simply don't know how life is without pockets, all their clothes have them. I have pants and suit jackets with fake pockets, why? what devil decided that women don't need pockets? we have to carry tissues, lipstick, tampons, keys, snacks

You totally undervalue the presence of pockets. Try going without them for a couple weeks and you will be wishing for a dress with pockets!

I created an account just bc this is important: This man stole this tweet from a woman who originally tweeted it. It happens very often, but in an article for women, using a male plagiarist of women feels a little gross. I do not have a link to her original tweet, as it is years old now.

I did a quick change of tampons while on the phone with my boss. Accidentally stepped on the old tampon, blood went everywhere, while I calmly gave my boss instructions to find a file on the computer.

Is always so sad when your favorite of the 5 finally becomes unwearable - because you wore it so much.

I can relate! I always get a bit too excited when I find another new best friend. My hubby says it sounds like a first date or something.
