To store things in my cleavage and then forget about them...

I lost my credit card all day because of this!

I'm not going to stop though, it makes me feel like the heroine of a period drama, hiding a love letter from the stable boy...Grin

proudandscary you are my hero, I never thought of turning the pencil test into a feat of booby strength.

knittedbreast - ugh, wrong, minstrels must be fridge cold and crunchy! And in my fridge where sadly there are none.

Am currently confined to horrible soft cup maternity / nursing bras which do nothing for the buxom lass, and create awful cleavage sweat. Have been putting a hanky in there not for usual hanky usage but as a sweat mopper upper. Have explained this to DH repeatedly but he still insists on laughing when it drifts daintly to the floor on disrobing.

He is aware that I tend to catch/ store food debris in there (worse in soft cup bras), which can lead to additional popcorn enjoyment after the cinema!

He is unaware of the other stuff that gets stored in there, esp as maternity clothes are often lacking in the pocket department. But I feel very inspired by this thread now

for those wondering about it being uncomfortable, I find the upper outer cup is the least distracting and most secure bra storage area. tends not to press on anything too sensitive or get coated in underboob sweat in my unsupported boob state.

I do this all the time too - in fact I went through security at Gatwick with a lighter in my bra - strictly not on purpose! - set all the alarms off repeatedly - got felt up and down by a security guard with a grudge against humanity and STILL didn't remember it was in there! They didn't find it either so they let me go through. Not sure what that says for security measures!

I'm 22 and today my nork holder contained, my phone, £10 note, and two dummies. And of course the norks.

Bras are bloody brilliant. Started doing it when bf dd as nursing bras have a little more room iyswim, bf her for over a year and habbits are hard to break :)

Are we talking in yer actual cleavage or just stuffed somewhere in your bra. If the latter, all the time - when I smoked deffo fags & lighter which went down a storm in a play I was in as I fished them out for a stage ciggie. Now keys, phone money (coins and notes). Last month we were on a trip to Venice, DH and I split the cash in case of pickpockets and mine went in my bra. I was so thrilled when we got the bill for a coffee and DH said 'sorry I've spent all my share of the cash' and I had to hoick out a very warm note to pay the waiter who was hovering with the bill and wouldn't go away. Interestingly he said 'Oh - you keep it the old-fashioned way'! I don't remember Sophia Loren ever doing that in a film... Blush

SnapesMistress · 08/09/2011 23:05

I'm 21 and keep lighters in the cleavage as well as spare change if going out :o

ouryve · 08/09/2011 23:07

Impressive that you can lose a credit card in your cleavage!

I often drop stitch markers down there (I knit a lot) and then forget about them until they fly across the bedroom when I strip off at night. They're only teeny tiny, though.

smartyparts · 08/09/2011 23:09

I recently saw a chav with a Croydon face lift young woman sporting her fag packet in one bra cup and, for some reason, 3 lighters in the other.

A look that should catch on, I thought.

I sport the carefull tucking down the outside edge iyswim, it adds to the cleavage. But really only works when your childs sucked the life out of them you have norks of the softer variety.

startail · 08/09/2011 23:14

A long time ago a school friend was riding a horse in our town carnival. Her "red Indian*" costume had no pockets so she stuffed her money down her bra.
She was furious to find she'd lost her £5 note. * I said this was a long time ago, before the term native Americans had been thought of and when £5 was a lot of money!

stripeybump · 08/09/2011 23:15

I've 'blossomed' since being pregnant, and am delighted that I can drop food items down there and have to fish around a bit to rescue them. Coco Pops and the like. I must try actually using them for storage purposes.

Hopefully they'll stay when tummy goes Hmm

takethisonehereforastart · 08/09/2011 23:19

I don't normally store things in mine, but LO has a habit of popping things in there to save them for later.

Which once resulted in my going to the dentist with a wooden monkey in my bra, something I was unaware of until it slit out when they reclined the chair.

Occasionally it's a nice surprise to find a stray sweet or grape down there Grin

Pendeen · 08/09/2011 23:27

Another night club cash cleavage user here.

I am also another messy eater and have lost many coco pops, crisps and grapes down the awful , deep, dark valley! :)

LadyWellian · 08/09/2011 23:34

I use mine for carrying tampons to the loo when at work if I'm wearing something with no pockets - beats trying to open doors with a clenched fist. They are the plastic-wrapped non-applicator type though, so no risk of soggy paper and mysterious expansion if I find I don't need one and then run a marathon.

I wear glasses to can't put them behind my ear Grin

Jeez, this has taken many attempts to post. Not sure it's worth it!

LadyWellian · 08/09/2011 23:38

... and it was so dull I posted it twice Blush

cece · 08/09/2011 23:51

I too use my bra instead of a handbag on a night out.

My mum used to warm her squash balls in her on the way to the court.

I often shove my phone and spare cash in mine if doing school run without handbag...

BirdOfPassage · 08/09/2011 23:56

Apparently it's the safest place to keep a winning lottery ticket.

Sleepingonthebus · 09/09/2011 00:04

Is that not what bras are for? Wink

I found keys down there the other day.

GossipWitch · 09/09/2011 00:04

I often lose lighter's through out the day and they all (there is usually more than 1) fall out when I get into bed.

I once found a lot of warm, stringy, grated cheese in my bra the morning after a night out, and realised it must have been from the cheese and chips I schnarffed on the way home.

I'm a note stasher too, always finding a fiver or two under my boob.

Not me but we had a lady come into work the once with a kitten in her bra, mum had rejected one and she was hand rearing it and found the best way to keep the temp regular was in her bra.

DartsRus · 09/09/2011 08:48

I have to be careful storing stuff in my admittedly ample bosom.

I have a severe allergy to nickel, and once decided to store my key in that place. Ended up with a massive boiling rash from the key that took days to heal. Even worse, the rash left a distinct outline of the key imprinted there (it's gone now but still it was annoying).

Funtimewincies · 09/09/2011 10:35

When you've handed over your lovely warm twenty/tenner in a pub and the barmaid/barman says 'sorry, I've not got any notes' and hands you a shedload of change, what happens then? This happens to me all the time and I'm not sure that I'd like it jingling around uncomfortably Confused.

Do you keep the change in your bra too?

sjuperwolef · 09/09/2011 10:51

i keep change in my bra, it goes all warm and leaves pretty shaped on my breasticles Grin sometimes when i whip my bra off an odd 20/50p is stuck to my boob.

brilliant.
