This happened to me twice in one week: I went to give a female friend my cell phone number, and she reaches into her bra and takes out her phone. I woule never keep my cell phone in my bra. I would never even think of doing it. Do you? ---

The only time I put it in my bra is when I’m running at night and don’t have a pocket. Yeah, it’s kinda gross, but I used to keep it in my hand and once accidentally threw it into a bush mid-stride. I’d rather not have to crawl around in my neighbors bushes at night again. Other than that, no. Edited to add: whipping a cell phone out of your bra mid-conversation seems very weird to me. ---

I voted “sometimes,” but that makes it sound like it’s an ongoing practice. I have done it a couple of times when I needed to stow my phone but was wearing something without pockets. I don’t make a habit of it, though. ---

I’m not a woman so didn’t vote, but at least two of my female coworkers do that fairly regularly. ---

No, but then I don’t wear a bra. ---

Does it count as yes or no if I very occasionally put my phone under my shirt, between my bra strap and shoulder/upper chest? ---

I have never done it. I don’t know anyone in real life who does it. ---

Not me. Never seen a friend do it either. As several people mentioned, this is liable to be an issue while running. This is why I’m already planning how to attach my phone to me when I need to have it during a hill walk - two weeks from now. ---

The only way I could carry a cell phone in my bosom would be to have it surgically implanted. Which is not a bad idea actually, because I’d really like to have it with me while I’m running, and nothing seems to work for that. ---

Have you running people tried the Velcro armband things? I have one that holds my phone in it (which doubles as my ipod) and it works beautifully.

I wish! I’d need enhancement surgery, on a large scale to make such a thing even possible. ---

My mom keeps money and her phone in her bra. It’s pretty gross. I tell her every time that NO retail clerk wants to touch her boob sweat. She insists they don’t care. Yes, mom. Yes they do. I worked in retail. You are a disgusting person. ---

I do when I’m running. The armband I got had velcro that picked my running shirts something fierce. I can’t use earphones while running with my running club, and I use Runkeeper to call my audio cues. I like having it where I can hear it. I’m looking for a different armband setup, but I also like that nobody can see I have an iPhone and try to take it. I need to design some type of waterproof pocket for sports bras. ---

Not any more - my new phone’s too big . But I used to, all the time. Keys too. But never money , so you can put down the pitchforks . Only stuff nobody’s using but me . I think last time we did this it turned into a large-boobed vs small-boobed issue, didn’t it? There’s plenty of room in my bra for all manner of small items. ---

I’m looking for a different armband setup, but I also like that nobody can see I have an iPhone and try to take it. I need to design some type of waterproof pocket for sports bras. If the Mi-Bra doesn’t work for you, my friend swears by the [Lifeproof iPhone case](http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/cases/iphone-4-4s). As an example of what one can do with it, he dropped it into his pint of beer and let it sit there for a couple of minutes before he fished it out. I currently run with my phone in my sports bra (under the right hand strap, but partially in the cup) with a silicone glove around the phone. I’ve also slid the phone underneath a regular bra strap when I’ve been puttering around the house in need of the phone being hands-free with no pockets. I don’t carry money in my bra, but on rare occasions I’ll keep a license and credit card in there when out partying sans purse. It is rare, though, as I own a few wristlet purses that have sturdy straps. ---

For women that wear sports gear that’s close-fitting, I’d suggest a small fabric pouch with a cord; wear it like a necklace, and tuck THAT into the front of your top. What the hell do men do, anyway?
