Does anyone else have a bra purse?

[CoraLovesMashedPotato]

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?

That's disgusting and sounds like something off "Shameless" 😨

If you can fit things in your bra, it doesn't fit you properly.
It's basic courtesy not to stand in the queue fishing into your bra in my book
Not to mention bad hygiene
Use a belt bag or a bigger phone case

When I was in my early twenties, I woke up after a night out and stumbled into the bathroom for a shower to revive myself. I am shortsighted and didn’t have my glasses or contacts on.

I took off my clothes and was horrified to see in the mirror that I had a huge dark mole on the underside of my boob. I had never even noticed it before but knew by looking at my reflection that I would soon be dead of cancer.

I moved closer to the mirror to inspect this giant mole, and discovered that it was simply a 50p piece that was stuck to my tit.

I don’t usually keep things other than breasts in my bra, but on that previous night, clearly I had made use of my purse bra.

I do it with my keycard in hotels but normally I would have keys and mobile phone so use a small bag

How is a bra, presumably laundered fairly frequently, less hygienic than someone's coat pocket?

Nope. As someone who worked in a cafe for a decade, I'd have been grossed out if the customer fished a tenner out of their bra. All money is disgusting but I don't want to see it happening.

Would it not ruin your bra?

I’ve never heard of one, so had to google, is it one of these?

Some days, I have my phone, house keys, bank card and a poo bag in there! Is it just me?

Well it's certainly not me.

seems a bit uncouth (and a bit eww) whipping your debit card out of your bra.

the things Post Office workers must see.

Well yes, but that's because their hands touch stuff 😆 Where exactly are boobs picking up all these germs from?

A card kept in a pocket amongst the tissues is going to be far dirtier.

It's not something I do but some of these arguments against are very funny.

Difficult if you're wearing a tight polo neck sweater.

Me too.

Where do people keep their emergency £10 when they go out nowadays? Used to be that bra or boot would be the place you kept your emergency taxi funds back when I was young and went out drinking.

If clothes designers put pockets in women's clothes this wouldn't be an issue. Even my 9yo complains about shitty pretend pockets on girls trousers.

No it's antisocial and nasty.

Absolutely not
The only thing I have done on a night out is kept an emergency £20 somewhere on me in case my bag got stolen. And yes that could be my bra but I would have to have been mugged to use it so desperate times!

Yes I have and all of these are spread mostly by skin to skin contact by touching which is most often by your hands, considering your boobs are covered up 99% of the time.

If someone touches the door, cereal box or money you’ve touched then you will get the germs that were on their hands directly on to your hands.

It’s fact that your hands are the dirtiest part of your body.

You can find putting stuff in your bra as gross as you want to and be as precious as you want about germs but you cannot say it’s more gross than using your hands because it’s not because you are guaranteed to have more germs on your hands, especially when shopping.

The owner is the only one touching the bank card as well.
So at least it reduces the cross contamination from your hands.

Well, you just unlocked a memory!!

when I was younger (much younger. Probably 18/19) I would put some cash and my house key in the bra "pocket" intended for the push up "cushion" when I went clubbing or to certain concerts!

I´d take out cushion and use the "empty space" as a little pocket.

It wasn´t intended for public use, btw. It was akin to an emergency / back up in case I lost my purse.

@CyberCritical in the same place as I keep all the other stuff I need when I go out - in a handbag or my pocket.

If I am running I have a little pocket at the back of my leggings.

Because nobody sweats into their pockets or certainly to the same degree.

Even if a pocket touches the body, it's usually close your waist or in an outer garment.

I can only imagine my partners reaction if we were to have an intimate moment and cards, money, coins, keys were in my bra or the outline of keys indented on my breasts.

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.

Pockets have hands in. Much dirtier than boobs. Plus coins and tissues and rubbish, maybe a comb...

Thats disgusting. Fair enough you don't want to carry a big bag buy a phone size one. Keeping things in your bra is just clatty

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

Slightly better than your arse crack I suppose

Grim. Imagine having to handle that cash.
