Sports bra. Extremely roomy, since it’s really just a stretchy hammock for your breasts to begin with, there’s no “fit” involved. I have boatloads of regular bras and I only wear them when I’m really “dressed”. 95% of the time I wear a sports bra and bicycle shorts, and my sports bra will hold a very amusing amount of stuff.
Not money, though. The only times I’ve ever put money there it was extremely brief. I rarely put anything in my bra that is absorbent in any way, like money. Just hard surfaces.
Count me in with the “ooh, that’s icky!” bunch. I used to work with a secretary who kept her cash in her bra. She would give me money for whatever and it would be sweaty and moist. So I don’t do the same with other people. Besides, that’s what handbags and pants/skirt pockets are for.
I have only done it once, at a semi-formal cocktail reception thing that was business related. It was a networking schmooze-fest and a Very Important Person handed me a business card. I wasn’t carrying a clutch or any other purse type of thing, so the only place to put it was the cleavage area of my bra. I’m not a big-chested gal, so with the right bra, I have room for a third boob between the other two. It was a last resort thing and not something I would do if avoidable.
I’m a (male) cashier, and I have gotten some nasty tit-sweat-sodden cash in my time. It’s fucking foul and should be embarrasing to hand that to a person…
I only did it on a cruise. I didn’t want to carry around a purse when all you needed was your room key for ID and purchases. I was carrying it my hand and i realized that I could just tuck it in my bra (or actually in the top of my bathing suit) and I wouldn’t lose it. I wouldn’t put a phone in there or use it for cash on a regular basis, but what are you supposed to do if you want to go swimming and you need a room key? Leaving a purse out is just asking for it to be stolen.
I’m surprised at the number of “gross” responses. I don’t put anything that I would be handing to someone else like cash, but it’s a great place to put the cell phone. It stays at the top of the bra where the strap attaches, it stays put and (bonus) I can hear it ring!
I haven’t carried a purse in 30 years and women’s clothing isn’t as forgiving in the pocket department so it’s pretty darn logical to me.
The next time a woman pulls some cash out of her bra and hands it to you, while effecting a lewd lascivious grin, hold it up to your nose and noisily inhale, all while looking her straight in the eyes. I’ll bet she doesn’t do it again.
Course, I could be wrong. You might get a phone number, instead!
Or slapped. :eek:
For anything that you could think of that would make you go, “Eeeeeeeew!”
Bet that there’s somebody else that would say, “Oooooooo!”
Here’s the deal: It is gross to KEEP money next to your body in an area that sweats and then hand it to another person. I would never do that. BUT, to be rational about it, ALL money is gross and exposed to gross things, in reality. In fact, the things that money is most often exposed to are WAY more disgusting AND unhealthy, starting with spit and snot, and almost certainly including shit, because those things are on people’s hands all the time. Sweat may be more viscerally disgusting, but I feel pretty confident that if you swabbed the sweat from between the tits of a thousand women and cultured it alongside swabs from a thousand other people’s hands, you’d be pretty freaked/reassured by the results and pick the sweat next time!
Which is why comparing keeping anything in a bra vs. in one’s underwear is not a valid comparison. Your underwear is rubbing up against and containing all the cooties from your genitals and anus, your chest is not!
You can rationalize it all you want, but I still don’t want money that is pulled moist and sweaty from someone’s bosom. Your armpit is just sweat, too, but I don’t want money pulled from out of there, either.
I was just on the subway and saw a very buxom and pregnant woman tuck her iPhone into her bra. It went in on the side, by the way, not in the cleavage. By some legerdemain, there was no ouytline of the phone visible on her top.
She wasn’t carrying a purse and seemed to hqave no obvious pockets, so I guess it made sense. I didn’t see her get on the subway, so I have no idea where she kept her Charlie Card.
I wouldn’t either, because it is viscerally unpleasant, but logically it doesn’t make any sense to think of it as particularly unpleasant outside that, seeing as how money is the biggest cootie carrier on earth to begin with.
When my folks have gone on cruises, they’ve had their room keys (cards) on lanyards provided by staff. I used that idea for a while when I just took my keys on walks, but I missed too many calls and had to (just *had *to) get a cute little backpack.
Yep. Which is why I don’t even worry about the cooties. I’m not a lady so I don’t wear bras but I do keep folded bills between my buttcheeks, “That’s nature’s pocket.”
