Filled with germs: The inside of a woman's handbag can contain 10,000 different bacteria

The contents of a woman's handbag have long remained a mystery to men around the world.

But the truth is a lot dirtier than one could ever have imagined.

German research found 10,000 different bacteria are present in just a few square centimetres of handbag, making it dirtier than your average toilet seat.

So how does your bag get so disgustingly filthy?

The Herald Sun spoke with My Bag Spa owner Alex How from Melbourne, who has found food scraps, rubbish and even dog or cat urine in handbags.

'Dog and cat pee are the worst and we have to wear gloves and a mask to remove those smells or else our skin starts to itch,' Mr How said.
