Lightweight Wallets

At this moment, you’re probably carrying at least four or five plastic cards in your wallet. If you are carrying many more than that, don’t worry – some reports find that the average adult has around nine credit cards. Even if you only have a few credit cards, that doesn’t even begin to include the other cards you might carry around on a daily basis, like a driver’s license, work ID and membership cards for all the stores you frequent. All told, 16 is the average number of plastic cards that people in the U.S. carry. Plus, many of us like to carry around a bit of cash, some change and maybe a photo or two.

Essentially, our wallets are already weighed down by the sheer amount of stuff we keep on our person all day long. The last thing we need is a heavy, thick wallet to weigh us down even more. That’s why lightweight wallets are so important to today’s consumers. Having a wallet that feels nearly as light as air will help you feel less weighed down throughout the day. And if it’s a good wallet, it may even keep you more organized.

Why Does Weight Matter?

As described above, our wallets are generally filled with plenty of cards and cash. That already adds weight to our pockets and purses everywhere we go. A heavy wallet just makes matters worse. Many men have experienced the embarrassing feeling of pants sagging down on one side due to an overly heavy wallet. Meanwhile, women know all too well how uncomfortable it is to carry a purse that’s digging into your shoulder from its weight.

Lightweight wallets provide a simple, quick solution to these issues. Simply pack up your cards, cash and other wallet items in a light wallet that’s a fraction of the weight of your old one. You’ll be amazed at what a difference it can make to have a light feeling in your pocket or purse rather than feeling like you’re lugging something around all day. Getting out your wallet and dropping it back into a pocket or purse is no longer a hassle.

Lightweight wallets can literally lighten your load every day, making life just a little bit easier and relieving the stress and discomfort from a heavy wallet in your back pocket or handbag. Rather than sore shoulders or a sore back, you can feel comfortable and pain-free all day. In fact, some chiropractors actually advise their patients to get lightweight and thin wallets like the ones offered at Big Skinny in order to relieve irritation from the sciatic nerve.
