What else have you stored in your bra?

On another thread, a poster shared that storing eye drops in her bra warmed them to room temperature and were more comfortable to use than cold eye drops.
Another poster mentioned that she stored eye drops in her bra to warm them.

The point -

It reminded me that I always used to keep my mascara down my bra before using it - it warmed and softened it and made for easy application smile
I regularly store tissues down my bra especially when the clothes have no pockets hmm

Have you stored anything interesting down your bra?

Tissue, mobile phone -a small Nokia one- and shop keys clipped to my bra strap with a carabiner clip.
Most uncomfortable but needs must without pockets or belt loops grin

My phone. I like to listen to audio books or podcasts through my hearing aid whilst walking the dog. I just have to say siri pause if meet someone and then siri play when we part.

A dd once stuck a credit card down her bra, when we were out for a family pub lunch that was supposed to be our treat (mine and dh’s).
So when she left the table, ostensibly to go to the loo, it didn’t occur to us that she was actually sneaking off to pay!

Nothing, only what they were designed for.

Same here, am bemused and amused by all the other uses.😄

My late husband had a real talent for helping sick and/or injured animals and birds. One evening, many years ago, arriving home after an evening out, we noticed that a sparrow we were caring for, still too newly hatched to have feathers, was looking decidedly ‘dead’. He was freezing cold, but was still breathing, just! My husband quickly popped him in my bra to warm him up!
That little sparrow lived to be 9 years old! (In the wild, they are lucky to survive for a couple of years, so my bra and its contents saved a life! Bet not many people can say that!)
To put people’s’ minds at rest:-
We knew it was, and still is, illegal to keep wild birds, so on finding him, we immediately phoned the authorities who told us that, as there was no way the bird would survive, they would make a note of it but would not be following it through. Little did they know! That little bird thrived and eventually spent most of his time out of his cage. He had the run of whatever room we were in, and loved watching tv snuggled on my husband’s shoulder!
Strange thing was, when he first came to us, and we were trying to get him to eat, he totally refused bird seed. Nothing would persuade him to eat it. In desperation, just to get food down him, we fed him with bits of our food - bread, chicken, dry cereals, etc and he lapped those up. So for the whole nine years, he ate only our food! Crazy bird!

I rarely wear one, but it’s a handy place for tissues when I do.

My bosom not being large, even when I wear a bra, I have never keet anything there, as if you are not well-endowed things tend to just fall out of the lower edge of a bra.

Big boobs , as I'm sure you know, aren't always an advantage ( or a preference ) but they sure as hell are useful when it comes to secure storage.
What 's put in my bra, stays on my bra.......

I put my cat's flea and wormer pipette in my bra for a while so that he doesn't feel it being applied due to the warmth.
When I had 2 cats I did once turn up for a mammogram with two in place and went through the process with an imprint on each breast. The staff were greatly amused!

Thinking about it , the bra was the number one handy storage vehicle when I was working.
Tube pass, handkerchief, tube map , anything that needed quick storage and retrieval.
Long live the ole' bra.

I always stored a fiver (£5) down my bra when I was a much younger girl-about-town so that I always had taxi or bus fare to get home.
Wasn't worried about it being stolen. I figured if someone's got their hand near my bra when I don't want it , then losing a fiver was the least of my problems......
Also use it to warm my Bank Card Reader that seems to freeze in cold weather.

I used to fold a €50 note and slide it into my bra when visiting Málaga city just in case.

My mother used to wrap her holiday spending money in a hankie and pin it in her bra to keep it safe.

Kittycat Sun 28-Dec-25 14:15:56

I used to keep my granddaughters dummy in my bra-trousers dint have pockets. Okay till she realised and stuck her hand in there for it one day when we were out!

When I was a teenager I was so skinny and underdeloped that I used to stuff my bra with Dr Whites .

When my daughter used to have riding lessons one of the other pupils in her group always kept her mobile phone in her bra during lessons. The rest of the class nicknamed her Tash with the Tinkling Tits!

I am asthmatic and regularly have my inhaler in my bra 🤷‍♀️
