Does your 18yr old boy use a wallet? If so, can you tell me ...

... what sort/size and where the heck does he carry it? I’m certain DS is losing notes but won’t carry a wallet as he says it’s too big to keep in the pocket of his (skinny) jeans and won’t carry it in his back pocket. So he runs around with money and mobile in same pocket and it’s just not working 🙄.

Strange question, I know, but humour me if you can!!

Mine does and it fits in the pocket of the skinny jeans. You can get very slim wallets. TKMaxx have loads. Lots of boys keep notes on their travel card holders.

My DS has a wallet style phone case which he keeps a few notes and a cash card in for general day to day stuff.

If he is actually going out somewhere, he has what I would describe as a half size wallet with a small zip compartment. He has cash, card, photo driving license for ID, and travel card, which all fit in. He varies what he takes depending on what he is doing/where he is going.

My 17 year old ds has a wallet but doesn't use it going out he just keeps his wad of cash in it hidden in his room 😆 what he does is he puts a note in the inside of his phone case because he says it's awkward carrying a wallet

Dh has one like this

STEALTH Wallet | Minimalist Aluminium RFID Blocking Pop-Up Credit Card and Cash Holder with Gift Box | Slim and Lightweight Ejector Wallet with Contactless Card Protection (Silver) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HF87GFG/ref=cm swwr cppapi ii_H9EKDbFBC3994

As he hates wallets but this isn't much bigger than a debit card and can fit notes in it

Most of the bigger iPhones can fit a bank card or folder note in the case/cover if he has one?

Inside back of phone/case.

Normal size fits in pocket ok

Thanks all ... mine insists that he can’t possibly fit one in his jeans pocket but am now browsing and trying to find something small.

Has one but rarely uses it. Does almost everything on apple pay

When I was 17 years old, I had a wallet that my dad gave me. The minimalist wallet is very suitable for boys.gearfork.com/best-minimalist-wallet/
