Doesn't it feel like a complete violation of privacy when someone ruffles through your purse? Forget the pat-down at airport security; it�s the guard digging through our tampons, Gas-X pills, and zit cream that really ticks us off. That's because a woman's purse is like the grown-up version of her old security blanket. But it's even better, since it holds everything we could ever need: cellphone, breath mints, credit cards, and that secret zipper for our unmentionables -- those really embarrassing beauty products we don't want anyone to know we own.

Skip ahead to see the most embarrassing beauty products in our purses now.

What products are we talking about? Things like extra hairpieces, ancient lip glosses, and diaper rash cream. Sure, dropping these humiliating beauty gems in our purse ups the potential for awkward situations if anyone spots the offending items. But we refuse to ditch them. Why? Because they work, plain and simple.

See the beauty products we're most embarrassed to show you, and tell us what yours are below. We can't be the only ones stashing humiliating stuff, right?
