It’s just a handy place to put my phone down for a second. Or stash a pen or a credit card.
I highly recommend everyone read Invisible Women. It’s full of interesting anecdotes like you’ve just identified.

Modern smartphones are too big for women’s pockets and too big for their average hand size so as a result women are far more likely to drop phones and incur unnecessary expense of replacing them. Our world is simply designed around a male default and apparently we just accept that.
Working in the service industry, I have refused boob-money before. It’s very gross to keep something there that you intend to hand other people.
Agreed! I don’t put bills there for that reason. I used to be the finance director for a large community event, very cash dependant. And we definitely got nasty sweaty boob money, money soaked in beer, you name it. The cash counting machines had trouble with it, so a lot had to be hand counted. Handling so much cash with mystery wetness was one of the less pleasant aspects of the job.
Women, buy cargo pants if you need pockets. Tell the haters to buy you whatever they’d rather see you in or fuck off
This is funny to me. I’m a guy, but I’ve known this since I was in highschool and I noticed my lady friends doing it.
The worst was once I saw someone drop change coins down there lol
Ew don’t put your credit card there if you hand it to people
Really? I was taught to because if someone mugs me for money it becomes a felony instead of misdemeanor pickpocketing. I was pickpocketed once from a purse and never again, goes in the bra every time.
One of my school friends made some extra money during 6th form by offering to sew new, bigger pockets in various girls clothing. On average she did about 5 pairs of jeans a week at about £15 per pair. She went on to do fashion design at uni and now runs her own small business and despite branching out to do so much more stuff one of the services she kept doing was pocket replacements and extensions.
How did you just realise this? I would’ve thought lack of pockets would be the sole reason you would use your bra.
I thought breast support was the reason they use a bra.
Lack of pockets would be the sole reason if I used a bra.
It’s always just been obvious to me. I’ve heard many people say this, too.
Some types of woman clothing can’t be made with pockets, mini/micro skirts and leggings for example, so using another available storage space is only logical.
Leggings can be made with flat pockets on the outer side of hips. I personally have a couple of minis with pockets. Those are just hard to find gems.
Oh cool, I was not aware of that. Thank you for informing and correcting me!
It’s to hide weapons to fight against the patriarchy
You ever put food for later in there?
Just a nibble.
Are sticks of gum food?
