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?

It's not just you but it is gross.

No-one wants to touch something that was in someone else's underwear unless they're in a sexual relationship.

Use a handbag or a bum-bag or a file you keep cards in, it's not hard.

But...no one is touching anything.

Oh dear, I often pop my phone in there!

You're an absolute minger @CoraLovesMashedPotato

It’s so so grim.

I worked as a cashier in a bank for many years and when someone would hand me a bank card, cash or coins I’d want to balk.

Sweaty boob money.

I just use pockets. My bra/boobs aren't big enough to store anything in there even if I wanted to. I just tried putting my phone in there out of curiosity and I can barely fit half of it in, the other half is sticking up by my collarbone.

This is grim, no one wants to see you fish anything out of your underwear.

Yes absolutely this! When my friend does it, it really makes me cringe but I have yet to find a polite way to express this. There's no way anyone is removing/returning phones, cards, poo bags etc out of their bra so discreetly that nobody notices! It looks grim.

Bonjovispjs · 02/10/2023 14:11

There's no room for anything else in my bra with my huge bazookas 😜

doris9034 · 02/10/2023 14:11

if you didn't wear a bra, would you keep it in your knickers? same thing really - just as gross!!

Legomania · 02/10/2023 14:12

My mum taught me not to reach into my underwear in public, and I've stuck with that

MinnieMouse0 · 02/10/2023 14:13

I’m sorry, I try not to be a judgy Julie but I find “bra purses” to be so tacky.

Spookymormonhelldream · 02/10/2023 14:13

How gape-y is your bra that you can fit all that shite in it? Use your pockets or a bag you loon!

Lalalirct · 02/10/2023 14:14

Ew 🤢🤢

Good lord. If that's true (and I have no reason to doubt you), I despair. What on earth is going on that people deem it acceptable? And that a store has to resort to making this kind of statement?!

@nocoolnamesleft @EdinaMonsoon We have a local shop that puts a sign on the counter every summer stating that they do not accept “sweaty boob money” 🙈😅

You just flashed your sweaty bra card at the person serving you?

Or did you press it against the card reader? Which numerous people use after you and then put in their purse or pocket or wallet?

Jeez, covid is still happening and people still don't seem to understand infection control.

Don't think it's normal to fish things out of your underwear and think it's not disgusting or won't effect other people.

It is disgusting. And it does effect other people.

ittakes2 · 02/10/2023 14:16

I have my card as a contactless on my phone...
I hope there was no poo in the poo bag!

Inyourwildestdreams · 02/10/2023 14:16

😂😂 very similar to what @littleripper has posted actually!! Ours also states that they don’t accept “sock money” 😅

I work in retail myself and can’t say that I see it very often but there has been the odd bank card pulled from down a top

Ginmonkeyagain · 02/10/2023 14:17

How are people fitting phones in their bras? Mine barely fits in my jeans pocket.

Also who wants to be fishing around inside their bra in public - have a modicum of class people.

Toottooot · 02/10/2023 14:17

Gadz min.

nocoolnamesleft · 02/10/2023 13:46

I've seen shops with signs stating they will not accept payment that has come out of underwear. Seems fair.

Really you've seen that. 🤣🤣

I think I need to leave this thread (can't find the vomit emoji but it's definitely needed!) 😆

Youcunnyfunt · 02/10/2023 13:46

No. My boobs once destroyed my phone and I had to replace it. Never again.

Stop with the boasting.

Sunshinenrain · 02/10/2023 14:19

I always put stuff in my bra.

Its usually my keys or tissues and then I carry my phone with my card in in my hand.

I hate taking a handbag around when I’ve only just got my keys and phone in.

I used to put my phone in my bra but I was listening to music and it got hot and burnt my skin and so I haven’t since then.

I will sometimes put cash in but I don’t usually have cash.
I’ve never put my card in though, as I’m afraid of snapping it.

All of the posters being precious about it being next to your skin are forgetting that your hands are the dirtiest part of your body.

People handing things over after they’ve been to the toilet, masturbated, sneezed, coughed and touched multiple surfaces etc without washing their hands, are way more grim than the skin on your boobs.

DappledThings · 02/10/2023 14:19

What? This is a thing? I don't get it at all. How is it even secure? Or comfortable?

This is really weird.

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 02/10/2023 14:19

No because of common decency, respect, manners and hygiene.

Retail and the service industry is difficult enough without having to watch customers rummage in their sweaty bra to pay for things.

You clearly don't care of it makes others feel uncomfortable or disgusted but you should.
