So do you store things in your bra?

After seeing a friend and someone on tv show put money in their bra to store it occurred to me, I never have possibly due to tiny cup size. But is it normal to some?

A sports bra!!!

Mainly when my hands are full and I just tuck my phone or car keys in for a short trip.

I don't do it for a whole day out or anything!

alltheteeshirts · 02/05/2022 07:00

Yes, keys and one card. The logic is, if I ever get mugged, at least I'll still be able to get back home. There are decoy cards in my bag.

30 years ago I put the entry pass for Yosemite in my bra for safekeeping - you need to surrender it on exit to make sure you're not camping overnight. On exiting, it wasn't there. I scrabbled round my B-cup boob and it had gone. Park Ranger/husband/teenage kids not amused. Only kept boobs in there since.

Just a tissue sometimes and only in emergencies. And I'm a 36G!

Nope.
If you have room to store things in your bra - then your bra isn't fitted properly. And I can't wear a bra that doesn't fit properly..!

In clubbing days but not keys, lipstick or money 😉

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 02/05/2022 07:19

@LittleBearPad I'm not the poster you quoted, but given how sweaty peoples boobs can get in their bras, it's pretty unhygienic and antisocial to store stuff other people will have to handle down there.

By all means shove your phone/key/tissues in there if you want, but as someone who worked in retail, it was so utterly grim being made to touch damp cash that has been shoved down someone's cleavage 🤢

Fizbosshoes · 02/05/2022 07:25

No. I have an A cup bra and my boobs don't really fill it so there might be room for other stuff I suppose but
a) wouldn't it make me look lumpy/mis-shapen? and
b) I rarely wear anything low cut because its too gapey with fried egg boobs so not very easy access with a round neck tshirt.

BitOutOfPractice · 02/05/2022 07:50

What else are women to do if they don’t put proper practical pockets in our clothes?!?!

Fizbosshoes · 02/05/2022 07:53

As an aside - both DD and I were amazed and excited that her prom dress has (very generous) pockets. She put tons of stuff in there - it was like Mary Poppins bag! saves me buying a bag after spending a fortune on the dress

OverByYer · 02/05/2022 07:56

Eeew no.

KatharinaRosalie · 02/05/2022 09:22

But how even? I had to try, I could reasonably stuff a banknote there (would not as it really is grim) but a phone? I have an average sized phone and FF cup bras, there's no way I could reasonably use my bra for phone storage.

Cas112 · 02/05/2022 09:48

Yep

AzazaelsFury · 02/05/2022 12:10

No. Never.

TheNinjaWife · 02/05/2022 12:56

I once put some foil wrapped hand wipe sachets down my bra on a flight. As I had my own wet wipes I then forgot about them. I was in transit through Dubai and set of the metal detector. I was then taken by security to a cubicle to be searched.
I won’t be doing that again in a hurry.

That's utterly ridiculous! You need to try it then you'll know of course it can fit properly and also be a storage vessel. Hmm

I was struggling to find somewhere to put my phone when I was running, and I read online that some people put it in their bra, so I thought 'Good idea, I'll try that'.

It drowned in my sweat and never worked again.

Put it in a sandwich bag. I do that if it's raining.

SilverSplitsTheBlue · 03/05/2022 07:34

Ha! Yes, definitely

I get fitted at Bravissimo regularly, my bras fit well. There's still space to slip some keys or a bank card down the side of my bra - boobs aren't made of stone!

NalPolishRemover · 03/05/2022 08:53

God no! I had no idea this was such a thing. I've never stored anything (other than my boobs!) In my bra. It would never in a million years occur to me

I always have a bag & mostly have pockets
I am, however, habitually to be found with a tissue stuffed up my sleeve! Dh thinks it's disgusting!

MissusMaisel · 03/05/2022 09:46

EmpressSuiko · 01/05/2022 21:54

No! Surely that’s incredibly uncomfortable!?

Not in the slightest. I put all sorts in there if I have no pockets, phone and all. IT's not uncomfortable

RampantIvy · 03/05/2022 09:50

No-one has replied to questions about how come it doesn't change your outline.

If I put a phone in my bra I would have a very definite rectangular shape. Besides, it would orobably fall out as my bras aren't big enough.

It depends on ones size.

A DD with square phone size boob is not going to be worried about the "staring at tits" people and who is brave enough to ask "is that phone in your bra or..." 😀

DD's does too 😂😂 She is delighted.

It's more fun if you switch your phone to vibrate and keep it in your knickers 😂😂😂.
