When on Exercise with a bunch of guys, I usually wear a bra to bed - so I tuck my Blackberry under the strap when I sleep.
Other than that I don’t generally put anything there other than me.
I recently had to go to the Verizon store because I was having trouble with my phone. After waiting about 15 minutes for them to call my name, I saw one of the techs at the counter poking around on her phone, and in a practiced move that she must do dozens of times a day, quickly tossed it inside her bra. She was large in all dimensions and the way she just sort of dropped it in there made me think she had plenty of extra room. Frankly, I was sort of disgusted to have her work on my phone, lest she stash it there for some reason. Fortunately, she didn’t, but it sort of skeeved me out that someone whose job it is to assist the general public would do that.
I’ll tuck my phone in to the strap/top of cup area, but only if I’m wearing something without pockets and I’m away from my purse - I don’t like to do it, my phone gets hot and phone+sweat is not good.
I do it on cruise ships when you have to have your room key with you all the time and you may be dressed up or otherwise not wearing pockets.
I used to use my bra when I went to the bars for money and ID. But at this point in my life I either a) have my purse on me or b) put it in a pocket or c) give it to my husband to carry.
Very rarely; usually if I have a bunch of stuff in my hands and need to set something like a credit card or ipod down to organize the other stuff, if there’s no table or pocket available, then the top of the bra cup/strap area it is. Things aren’t usually in there for more than a few moments, though.
Ew. No way. First of all, I almost never wear anything that low-cut; I’d have to reach up my shirt or yank on my collar, neither of which is acceptable behavior in polite society. Also, my chest, it is not small. And there is often sweat. I don’t want anything important enough to stash to get all sweaty. I’m almost always wearing pants anyway, which means I have pockets that aren’t made of flesh.
I suppose that if I were a secret agent, and I needed to keep some kind of poison antidote hidden on my person, that that would be an ideal place to do so. Under those circumstances, I’d do it. However, until Quantico returns my calls–nope. Not a chance.
If I put anything into my bra, it would fall out of my 32A’s.
I sometimes keep my phone in my bra (in the middle where the under wires meet my bra pushes hard against my chest, so the phone’s not in my boobs, but pushed up against my chest proper), but I don’t if I’m going to do anything sweaty. When I’m driving and need to talk on the phone I slip it under the shoulder strap and use the speaker function. It makes for good positioning that way.
I have on occasion used it to keep my lipstick, credit card, and ID in when going out and having no pockets, but that’s rare now, as I just ask my partner to keep my things in his pockets for me.
People use their bra like a purse? That is so weird.
Gross.
I’ve put my ipod under the shoulder strap during a workout when I forgot a clip, but I can’t recall putting anything into the cups for storage.
Because of the style I wear, I can’t tuck stuff between the girls, and supported by the band. I gotta tuck stuff in the cup, on top of one of the girls. Sometimes, and only for a short time, I’ll tuck in a pack of cigarettes, or a lighter, or a cellphone, or a facial tissue (in case I sneeze, not for “padding”). Once, I carried a billfold tucked in a cup. Made a funny bulge in my shirt…tee hee!
My bras are way too tiny to hold much (and I certainly can’t hold anything in my “cleavage”) but I have nonetheless used them in place of pockets many times. Usually just for money or a key. No way my phone would fit.
I have enough room in the top inside of my bra to keep my key when I’m out for a walk, for my ID or credit card or for my cellphone. Never food, never cash, never coupons. I wear full coverage and sports bras for all but the fanciest occasions and I’m not buxom so, yeah, there’s some gappage on the left side.
W/ the unevenness of my shoulders due to scoliosis if I were to straighten the shaping bra around them as intended my rack would be … odd-looking.
Never even considered it.
It never even occured to me to do this. I suppose it would be handy if you had no handbag; however, I’m a bit of a handbag junkie so I seldom go anywhere without one.
I feel like I should try this the next time I’m out with my husband, just to see the look on his face. He often wants me to carry his keys in my purse - maybe next time he asks I’ll tuck them in my bra instead just to see what he does. However, his key chain is kinda big so I think it might look really stupid if I have one weirdly shaped, lumpy boob…
Once in awhile.
I’ve been known to stash things there in a non-jeans situation but it’s not handy, I don’t want to go fishing things out of my boobage in public.
Once, when I was visiting my grandparents in the Bronx, my grandfather gave me a significant amount of cash as a gift.
Since my trip home to Jersey City involved walking and long subway/PATH train rides, at least part of which was through some sketchy neighborhoods, he asked me how I was going to get the money home safely. I told him that I would put it in my bra.
He smiled and said, “Oh, yes. The Bank of Harlem.”
This was more than twenty years ago, and for the most part, I haven’t used my bra to carry money or anything else since. I’ve tried sticking my MP3 player in my cleavage a few times while doing household chores, but it falls out.
Me? No, ick.
TheKid? Of course! Money, iPod, phone all go in there. She even has a favorite “purse” bra that she opts to wear if she’s wearing pocketless pants.
