Does anyone else have a bra purse?

Just been to the post office to post something and when I needed to pay, I promptly fished my bank card out of my bra. The lady laughed and admitted she had a bra purse too. Since lockdown, I just don't carry a bag or a purse anywhere! Some days, I have my phone, house keys, bank card and a poo bag in there! Is it just me?

Surely your bra is the wrong size if you can do this? I am a G cup so have a lot of material on my bras but my boobs fill them so there's no way I could fit a phone, keys and whatever else in there. Plus whatever size you are your boobs would appear bumpy due to these objects.
I don't get it.

I only do it at home and am a G cup but I only wear bras like this these days.

I'd be worried about breast cancer risk with a phone, can't be good to have it so close to your boob

LakieLady · 02/10/2023 17:27

My bras are entirely full of my tits, and I think a bank card would dig in.

her phone's in her bra too though. so paying that way will involve some interesting boob shimmying.

Oh I missed that thought it was the card. Maybe just the watch then.

In my work we refuse any cash from a bra, and although contactless is a bit different, customers who do this are often looked at as vile and spoken about from staff and the next customers 🤢

It would remind me of a vagrant keeping their drug money safe to be honest. Why not just have a bag?

We have a winner. Everyone can stop now. We’ve reached maximum manufactured outrage.

If you're arrying your phone anyway wouldn't you just have an electronic card on there for a tap and pay? I don't ever take a bank card out with me anymore

tuvamoodyson · 02/10/2023 16:22

I despair…

I had an unusual type of breast cancer exactly where I used to tuck my phone. I'm convinced my phone caused it.

Trainplan · 02/10/2023 16:18

I completely agree it's not something I'd do, but the hygiene arguments are ridiculous.

Bigcat25 · 02/10/2023 16:17

CoraLovesMashedPotato · 02/10/2023 13:58

But...no one is touching anything.

People still need to see you shove your hand into your underwear, which is rude. If you put plastic or metal against your boobs they'll get all sweaty. Not sure why this has to be explained to you? How is that even comfortable?

Cas112 · 02/10/2023 16:14

I do but I wouldn't publicly announce it, it's frowned up, especially by shopkeepers haha

Boobs are so filthy, imagine shoving one in your baby's mouth 😆

Babies come out of vaginas. Doesn't mean you should shove your bank card up there.

Wow, here's me thinking that people washed their hands regularly too or at least everything they touch something unsanitary. Clearly, I overestimated hygiene standards.

People can turn it around whatever way they want & debate level of germs hands, boobs v pockets etc but it's still rude, ignorant and hugely disrespectful.

Ginmonkeyagain · 02/10/2023 15:55

Just buy clothes with pockets people.

Crazyjanes · 02/10/2023 15:07

the reaction here is hilarious. Why is a boob more likely to be sweaty than your hands? Any minging sweat or dirt is much more likely to be on peoples hands. They could have been absolutely anywhere and you wouldn’t know. If you think you’re popping your PIN number in to a machine that hasn’t had at least one person wipe their bum or pick their nose without washing their hands after then you are living in a fantasy land.

Some people just cannot grasp the concept of your hands being dirtier than your boobs.

I thought it was common sense but obviously not everyone has it.

Or maybe these are people who hardly ever wash their bodies or bras.

in an evening bag with my phone and keys? The same way I did when I was 18, where else?

Show quote history

The idea was if it was in your bra/shoe it was safe if you got your bag/purse stolen or if a mugger told you to handover your bag/purse you could do so knowing that you could still get home.

RantyAnty · 02/10/2023 15:42

I do it around the house mostly.
Extra Kleenex in bra, my glasses hung on the front of my shirt, sometimes phone in bra if I have my hands full. Really helps not to set the things down and forget where I put them.

PS my boobs aren't sweaty.

TheMurderousGoose · 02/10/2023 15:40

DragonFly98 · 02/10/2023 15:37

Just pay on your phone or your watch like a normal hygienic person.

her phone's in her bra too though. so paying that way will involve some interesting boob shimmying.

MaidOfSteel · 02/10/2023 15:39

I don't know if it's more or less dirty, but it's certainly chavvy. Ugh.
