Victoria's Secret Compartment



""Women have more hiding places than men.""

- Meryl Silverburgh

A woman hides a plot-sensitive item close to her heart. Or more accurately, between her (usually large) breasts. Related to the Double Standard, since a man can't reach down there without hilarity ensuing (consequently, women often stuff a small object down there to keep a man from getting at it). May lead to being Nipple-and-Dimed. Occasionally serves as Hammerspace. Lends a whole new meaning to the term 'breast pocket'. Does not, as a general thing, refer to the, uh, other compartment.

Occasionally even small pets get stored there (well, it's warmer than a shoulder). Such cleavage critters are usually harmlessly cute; if they're longer than they are wide, you can bet they're going to be used for blatant fanservice sooner or later. Under certain circumstances, humans can get a ride there too, for extra Fan Service and Ship Tease.

In fiction, this is almost always the place where members of The Oldest Profession store cash. Compare Trouser Space, Ass Shove, Unorthodox Holstering, Torpedo Tits. See also Combat Haircomb. Contrast Treasure Chest Cavity.

This is one of several trope names that could be a "Before & After" puzzle on Wheel of Fortune.

Anime and Manga
"Mari: I'm definitely not taking you to school anymore! Akko: But I didn't have any other place to go!"
 * Chobits: Plum (Shimbo's compact persocom, designed to resemble the laptop), tries to hide in the cleavage of Chi, because Hideki (with all the screaming around) is scaring her.
 * 009-1: 009-1 has hidden the monkey with the implanted memory (containing data about a weapon of mass destruction by the Eastern Block) between her breasts when jumping out of a shuttle set to explode when it reaches a certain height.
 * Sha Chi from Penguin Musume hides a katana (of all things) between her breasts in one episode.
 * Giant Robo's "Ginrei Special" Omake OVAs parodied this by having the Action Girl in question pull a full-sized bazooka from her cleavage while she was wearing a motorcycle suit (as seen above). Video here.
 * In an episode of Code Geass R2, Kallen kept the control to her Humongous Mecha in her cleavage.
 * Takada Kiyomi keeps a page from the Death Note in her bra. Similarly, Light (in volume 9) discusses with Ryuk keeping Misa's notebook in case he needs to relinquish ownership of his again so he won't lose his memories by binding it to his chest with a corset.
 * Haruna from Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka hide the secret scroll that Maelstrom borrowed from Ayumu between her umm.. cleavage. Lampshaded by Ayumu that she had to have bigger breast to hide it there.
 * During one arc of Black Lagoon, Revy ends up hiding the documents they have to deliver in her shirt, only revealing this when they give them to the CIA agents sent for them. The agents then complain that the documents are sweaty.
 * Tendou Rushuna from Grenadier not only stores extra bullets in her cleavage, but manages to eject them when needed and catch them with her gun.
 * Hannah from Black Butler has all sorts of weaponry in her cleavage.
 * Angel Links has its main character, Meifon Li, keep her Empathic Weapon [[media:Angel Links, Fanservice.jpg|in her cleavage]] for easy access and consultation.
 * Ranma ½
 * In an early arc, Shampoo hides an antidote shampoo [[media:shampooshidingplace.jpg|down her shirt]] and then dares Ranma to retrieve it. When bartering an antidote or power item with Ranma for a date, she tends to keep them there too, to prevent him from stealing and bailing.
 * She once hid a kitten in there, but that was to scare Ranma into accepting the date (Ranma's an ailurophobe).
 * Similarly, Kodachi has kept items in her bra more than once.
 * A mirror-duplicate of female Ranma hid a magic compact in her cleavage once. Naturally, the real Ranma didn't even think twice about stealing it.
 * The drug dealing girls in Serial Experiments Lain hide their Accela inside their cleavage.
 * In Dragon Ball, Bulma does this with a diamond. It doesn't go in her bra. Krillin, upon being given the gem, holds it up to his noseless face, trying to see if it smelled. He doesn't have a nose.
 * Though she doesn't actually have a cleavage worth mentioning, Pan muscles her way into the first saga of Dragon Ball GT by dropping the control keys for the spacecraft she has stowed away on down her shirt. Trunk's long hesitation about whether to retrieve them or not was the cause of much (possibly unintentional) UST between the two.
 * Many suspect that Ururu from Bleach has a hidden compartment... [[media:uruushidingplace.gif|down there]]. It's bigger than she is! Ah, the wonder that is Hammerspace.
 * In one episode of After War Gundam X, Ennil asks the guards preparing to kill her and Dr. Farzenberg for one last intimate moment (pretending that they're lovers). They agree, and she opens her jacket... revealing a set of flash-bang grenades, which she and Farzenberg use to escape.

 * Elirin from Variable Geo keeps a lighter in the cleavage of her bunny suit, and uses it for some of her Ki Attacks.

 * One intro sequence for the TV series shows Fujiko dropping a diamond ring in her bikini top.
 * One episode of the anime has Fujiko in disguise, only for Zenigata to see right through it. After revealing her, the first place he looks for a hidden microphone is in her cleavage. And he's right.
 * Mahou Sensei Negima:
 * Asakura holding Sayo in her cleavage.
 * Earlier on in chapter 35, she stores Chamo in there. Bet he enjoyed it.
 * In chapter 276, Mana pulls out an anti-tank rifle. It's lampshaded.
 * This rule isn't just limited to big-breasted girls in Negima, as Nodoka, who is flat-chested, is seen hiding one of the smaller versions of her Pactio item in her cleavage in chapter 280.
 * To LOVE-Ru:
 * In a chapter, Rito gets shrunk to roughly 4 inches tall. Lala keeps him all day in her Marshmallow Hell.
 * Her younger sister Momo has been shown tucking her summoning device into her cleavage.
 * Boota of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has ridden in Yoko's cleavage on multiple occasions, including the first day they met. Kamina and Simon's jealousy is obvious. What's even funnier is that
 * Following Boota's example is Touchoumaru, the pet mouse of Shigure from Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple. He's one lucky little rodent.
 * Shinkon Gattai Godannar takes the Fanservice knob and turns it well past eleven. One of the characters keeps her cellphone in that cleavage (though it's more like a cavern, really. She also keeps it on vibrate, so everyone knows she's getting a call when her boobs start to rumble like the kind of volcano you run away from really fast.
 * In Detective Conan, Kudou Yukiko carries an unconscious Conan in her cleavage while riding a motorcycle across Japan. Conan is actually Shinichi, Yukiko's drug-induced de-aged teenage son. And with her being a Hot Mom...
 * Sheryl in Macross Frontier drops Alto's talisman down her shirt in the 5th episode as "insurance" that he'll keep his word. And in the False Songstress Movie she keeps a taiyaki-shaped cellphone in there, which wiggles like a carp when it rings!
 * One Piece:
 * Kalifa apparently hides her key between her breasts.
 * Nami hides things in there rather often, including the staff she uses to fight (both before and after getting the Clima Takt). She also stored a Den Den Mushi in her shirt, which was more than pleased.
 * Also Robin, who once pulled a small paper from her cleavage in the... remarkable Seventh Movie.
 * Dominion Tank Police, the animated OAV run: the Puma twins (guised in finery) take out their large heavy weaponry from their bras and underwear.
 * In Ayashi no Ceres, Aya keeps Tooya's dagger in her bra. It's wonder how she doesn't get cut.
 * In the manga for the video game Tales of Symphonia there's an omake that says that Sheena has her exsphere equipped just under her right breast.
 * In an omake chapter of Fairy Tail, Erza produces a lead pipe... Well, there's a reason it's on this page.
 * Pokémon Special character Blue is rather well-endowed for a twelve-year-old. Sabrina unfortunately found out why during her battle with her. There was no way anybody saw that coming. Blue was frozen in place, so she taunted Sabrina's "health" (read: bust size) and baited her into attacking her big, round... Poké Balls. Not an euphemism—the attack released Blue's Pokémon and allowed her to escape. Unfortunately, it was edited out of the English re-release.
 * Merle from Vision of Escaflowne apparently has much larger breasts than viewers are led to believe, because in episode 8, she stores two boxes of Pocky, lipstick, a pager, a watch and a discman in her cleavage.
 * Izumi of Hayate the Combat Butler apparently keeps her cell phone here. Revealed when a guy (kitten) steals it, by diving into her shirt.
 * Fuu of Samurai Champloo has a pet flying squirrel named Momo, which seems to spend most of its time inside her kimono. Spoofed in an episode where two teenagers appear to be leering at her cleavage. At the end Fuu is furious to discover they were actually interested in Momo. There was also the first episode, where she stuffs some bombs down the front of her shirt, which unlike Momo are quite easily visible.
 * When Chypre and Coffret first ran into Tsubomi in Heartcatch Pretty Cure, they hid in her shirt to escape from Sasorina. It works perfectly... until she creates a Desertrian.
 * Celty from Durarara!! keeps her cash payments down the front of her catsuit.
 * In Futaba Kun Change, the store clerk they meet while shopping for undies is so addicted to smoking that she has a tendency to try to sell underwear with multiple hidden compartment for cigarettes, just like the ones she wears to hide her smokes.
 * Princesses Gallet and Christina does this accidentally in Shina Dark when they are forced to leave the treasury/labyrinth of doom without any treasure... except what accidentally got stuck in their cleavage, much to Noel's jealousy.
 * Kana from My Lovely Ghost Kana is the eponymous ghost. Being a ghost allows her to drop the temperature on the room that she's in as well as apparently cool a can of beer to the perfect temperature by putting it in her ghostly cleavage and rotating it slightly.
 * Ah! My Goddess
 * Skuld and her "Skuld-bombs". Actually, she has enough explosives down there to take out a battalion, despite having the body of a flat-chested thirteen-year-old. This was even Played for Laughs to an extreme in a recent arc where she pulled several tools out of her blouse before she realized she was out of weapons.
 * In one of the later chapters, Belldandy. When Keiichi stopped to think about holding an object that'd been nestled there....
 * A short while later, Belldandy uses it to hide an important item. It didn't work.
 * In Sekirei chapter 62 Matsu pulls a tracking device out of her cleavage.
 * In one chapter of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Chiri comes to clean Nozomu's house, and wants to straighten things so there is less "dead space". Nozomu comments that she has her own dead space, wearing a bra that's too large for her. She responds that she uses the space effectively and pins him to the wall with knives. (During this scene, Nozomu specifically references Fujiko of Lupin III.)

 * In the anime version of Kare Kano, Yukino Miyazawa puts a photograph in her bra.

 * Lum of Urusei Yatsura would occasionally pull some Oni-tech gizmo from her tiger-stripped bikini top. It isn't like her usual outfit has many pockets.
 * In the Volume 3 Omake of Girl Friends, after Akko becomes doll-sized for some unknown reason, Mari decides to let her come to school with her by placing her under her bra. Unfortunately, the train she takes is overcrowded due to the rush hour, making that place too painful for Akko. So Akko decides to climb a lot more south and...

She used it in Pennies From Heaven... and then in the film version of Annie... and then once more in Woody Allen's Alice... and then again in the TV remake of Cinderella... the list is endless. Well, that's no surprise, given that she probably has a lot of room in there.

 * James Bond
 * Notably averted in Diamonds Are Forever when Tiffany Case tries to conceal a data cassette in her bikini bottom.

 * In the 1927 Academy Award-winning film Wings, Mary procures the order to cancel leave down the front of her dancer's dress. Given the time period, this trope is now Older Than Television.

 * The Bounty Hunter gives us this line:


 * Clue: Miss White produces a handkerchief from her cleavage. That's probably all that could fit there considering her dress. We imagine that Yvette and Miss Scarlet could have easily hidden all of the evidence away given how their attire complimented their ahem tracts of land.
 * Toward the end of The Running Man, Amber (who, as a contestant in the Deadly Game, is wearing a spandex bodysuit) produces an incriminating tape. When Ben asks where she hid it, she just smirks at him....
 * In Runaways, the girlfriend of the Big Bad is scanned for tracking devices by the cops, who find one planted in her bra. A definite subversion, as it was one of several bugs hidden within her various garments, and she herself didn't know it was there.
 * Bullshot. 1930's Damsel in Distress Rosemary Fenton hides the secret formula in her... underthings.
 * Restoration. Robert Downey Jr. plays a 17th century doctor who is losing all his money in a shell game, and searching desperately for more. Meg Ryan is playing his mentally disturbed wife.

 * Magnum Force. The prostitute in the taxi cab pulls double duty on this trope, hiding large sums of money in both her bra and panties.
 * The Clark Gable film China Seas does this twice. First, when China Doll (Jean Harlow) steals half of the hundred pound note down her dress. When asked where it was, she kept cupping her breast, not so subtly. The typhoon leaves her soaking wet, but somehow the note survives intact. Later, when the ship is boarded by pirates, two of the girls in the lounge drop their earrings down their tops. Little good it does them, as one of the pirates sees them do this and with one gesture, gets them to take the valuables out again.
 * In Carry On Cowboy, Belle carries a gun in her cleavage.

 * Milady de Winter in The Three Musketeers 2011. In the opening scene, she keeps a stolen key in her cleavage, where she later places Richelieu's carte blanche.

Jokes

 * An older woman went shopping, and tucked her $50 into her brassiere for safekeeping. While on the bus, a young man reached in and grabbed it, and ran. Afterwards, the police asked why she took so long to raise the alarm. "I didn't realize he was going for my money," she protested.
 * A young woman with a cold was invited to a formal party. Lacking pockets, she put a handkerchief in each cup of her brassiere. Partway through the party, she steps aside and pulls out a handkerchief to sneeze and blow her nose, afterwards discarding the handkerchief in lieu of stuffing it back in. Later, she feels a sneeze coming on, so she reaches in for her second handkerchief. Not finding it, she starts rummaging around when she realizes the room has gone completely silent. She looks up and sees everyone staring at her. "What?" she said, "I know I had two when I started tonight!"

Literature

 * Velvet from The Malloreon sometimes keeps a small, virulently poisonous snake there. Her love interest Silk is not amused. For that matter, neither is the snake's owner. Later she keeps a bunch of them down her dress after the snake has babies.
 * In Robert A. Heinlein's Between Planets, Isobel apparently hides a very important ring there. Heinlein was writing for the juvy market, and in The Fifties, so he doesn't connect the dots for the reader.
 * In "Trill Coster's Burden", one of Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories, The Vamp hides a giant ruby in her cleavage, and tells John that if he wants it he'll have to reach in and get it; he declines, and she gets away. (This ends badly for her, since the reason he wanted it in the first place is that it has a curse on it he's trying to break.)
 * Discworld: Nanny Ogg keeps all sorts of things in her knickers, including alcohol and cash. But since she's a dumpy old lady, this is Fan Disservice. It helps that a witch wears several skirts, several pairs of pants, several stockings, and "knicker pocket" can only be the first layer in their underwear. But that's putting way too much thought into it.
 * A Song of Ice and Fire: Similar to the Xena example below, Asha Greyjoy keeps a dagger sheathed between her breasts. Being one of the few female ship captains, she's quick to show it off and refers to it as her "suckling babe".
 * In A&M, this causes a clerk to nearly faint, and just brings his crush on the girl full-circle.
 * In one of the Indian in The Cupboard novels, Patrick gets sent back in time to the Wild West and is a few inches tall. When he finds a sympathetic lady who wants to carry him around, she considers her shoulder, decides it's too slippery, and goes with her cleavage.
 * Tiny Gulliver in Gullivers Travels also gets a cleavage ride. He's just nauseated by the hygiene factor, though. After hearing his description of the experience, so are most readers.

 * Sheen from Piers Anthony's Phaze series carries small tools in her breasts. Note that because Sheen is a
 * This is also present in The Three Musketeers during the scenes with the French Queen.
 * In a novel based on the video game Primal Rage, villainess Malissa is trying to taunt main character Kage with a map. She sticks it in her cleavage to keep him from grabbing it. Then proceeds to antagonize Kage with her taunts and cattiness until he loses his patience with her and grabs it anyway.
 * Enola Holmes uses this trope as both a means to disguise herself by exaggerating her bust for disguise purposes and hiding important items, most notably a dagger with the protruding pommel posing as a broach.
 * The Scarlet Pimpernel
 * In the sequel Eldorado, Sir Percy's wife Marguerite smuggles letters from him to his League out of prison in her kerchief... or, as her husband puts it, "... on your exquisite bosom where I so love to pillow my head."
 * In another sequel, Sir Percy Hits Back, the Scarlet Pimpernel himself sends a secret message to Fleurette, his latest rescuee, by slipping it into her Victoria's Secret Compartment... while disguised as her prison warden, which freaks the poor girl out.
 * In the Land of Oz books by L. Frank Baum, the sorceress Glinda is forever pulling her wand or some other useful magic doodad out of her "bosom". She probably wins the trope because on one occasion she pulled out a magical handkerchief which turned into a camping setup for a dozen people!
 * Used by Rosamund in the Knight and Rogue Series to store the key to a flimsy lock, much to Fisk's exasperation and Michael's delight.

Live-Action TV
"Gabrielle: It's not like your breasts aren't dangerous enough."
 * In one second-season episode of Charlie's Angels, one of the Angels asks "How do you hide a gun in a bikini?" Bosley's answer? "Very carefully."

 * In another episode, in an attempt to score some action with Jack, Lana takes some money off of him and puts it into her cleavage, telling him to "make a withdrawal." Jack obviously isn't amused, but Chrissy finds it hilarious, saying, "It's a treasure chest!"
 * A hilarious misunderstanding in Coupling (best not to go into exactly what said misunderstanding was, for fear of text walls) led to a discussion about why men don't smuggle. One given reason was a lack of "concealment crevices"...
 * Parodied in Married... with Children when Marcy, notorious for her flat chest, attempts this trick—and the object falls through her shirt and onto the floor. Played straight with Peg, though—who should be the poster woman for this trope. She even did so in the opening credits. Kelly used the back strap of her bra in one episode to cheat at poker by stashing cards there.
 * iCarly: Conversed in "iMake Sam Girlier"; a bully shoves french fries down Sam's shirt. After Sam beats her up, she pulls a fry out of her blouse, eats it, and remarks that it's a pretty good place to keep french fries.

After averting Niska's attempt to pull off a Sadistic Choice by picking her husband when Niska says the ransom is not enough for both men, he re-evaluates saying that the ransom was really a little too much and has his Dragon cut off Mal's ear which Niska then hands to Zoe wrapped in a handkerchief. Zoe calmly takes it and carefully tucks it into her shirt (though not her bra). Although, being the Captain's faithful sidekick, Zoe might have felt that shoving it into a pocket was simply disrespectul.

 * A skit on Carol Burnett's variety show back in the '70s had her character pull things needed for songwriting out of her cleavage: paper, pencils. When it's pointed out that the pencils aren't sharpened, she sticks one back in—and the grinding sound of an electric pencil sharpener is heard.

 * "Chuck Versus the Three Words": Sarah keeps a knife in her bra. Notable in that the it isn't clumsily concealed in between her cleavage but is instead housed in a special sheath near the straps.
 * Due South, "All the Queen's Horses": Fraser and Thatcher are handcuffed together in the train's horse box, but Fraser may be able to pick the lock using one of Thatcher's hairpins—once they have it. Their hands are unusable because they're cuffed in an inaccessible place, so Fraser has to remove the hairpin from Thatcher's hair by mouth... but then he drops it. Guess where it lands? He then has to retrieve it, again by mouth (but only after asking permission of his superior officer). Thatcher's expression as he recovers the would-be lockpick is priceless.

 * This is Older Than Radio. In Die Fledermaus, Eisenstein has a ladies' watch that he charms pretty girls with. He is disguised as a Marquis at a dinner party, and his wife (unbeknownst to him) is disguised as a Hungarian countess. He tries to seduce her, and three guesses where she stows the watch.
 * Playfully subverted in Annie Get Your Gun. After Annie's younger sisters lock up her guns before her big showdown against Frank, each of them tries to tuck the keys down the front of their dresses for safekeeping.

Video Games

 * Granny Crotony from the adventure game Armed and Delirious uses her support bra as her inventory.
 * Final Fantasy
 * In Final Fantasy X, this appears to be where Yuna and Lulu keep potions, judging by the animation when they use one. Hilarity ensues when you teach Yuna the Use skill. Apparently the girl keeps grenades in there.

 * In an otherwise short-and-forgettable flash game, Bush Royal Rampage, while being guarded by George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II has her tiara shot off, which only serves to anger her. She then pulls out a piece of plastic no bigger than a poker chip from her cleavage... which expands into an uzi!

 * Sengoku Basara
 * Nouhime apparently keeps a massive arsenal under her kimono, including a rifle, a two-barreled gatling gun and a rocket launcher.
 * That's nothing compared to Magoichi, who is apparently capable of summoning pistols, hand grenades, a shotgun, a machine gun and a bazooka from her corset. Either that, or some sort of secret dimension. Though She actually keeps her pistols in a strap on her leg. All infinity of them.
 * In MadWorld, the three geisha you save in the Asian Town level
 * In Wild ARMs 3, Maya Shroedinger has an attack called "Calamity Jane" where she shakes her skirt and a gatling gun falls out. Yikes.
 * In Resident Evil, Jill Valentine can carry more items than her allies, Chris (RE1) and Carlos (RE3), despite the fact that both of the guys are demonstrably stronger than she is.

 * In one of the cutscenes in Bayonetta, she hides a round in VSC.
 * The King of Fighters: Mai Shiranui Kachou-sen!

Web Comics
"Milo: What're you wearing? Jenny: (having shoved two comically large cans down her tank top) Oh, I got a nice, tight shirt on. It really shows off my cans... they're nice... and... cylindrical."
 * Ronin Galaxy: In the beginning of the second chapter, Leona manages to keep her sword hidden in the upper folds of her kimono, even past the gaze from possible onlookers such as Cecil.
 * Spoofed in this Ask Altair comic—the method makes no sense in the character's case.
 * A The Devil's Panties strip shows Jen and one of her friends getting ready for a night on the town. Club clothes for women often have no pockets and they were helpfully wearing corsets. Jen and a group of corseted women also used this trick during a Medieval Re-enactment weekend, storing assorted melee weapons. When the ladies are attacked by bandits thinking them unarmed, Hilarity Ensues.
 * Tootsie and Alejandra of Las Lindas demonstrate the trope here.
 * Parodied with a rare female "down there" version in Last Res0rt, where Jigsaw hides her Hammerspace inside her... wait for it... marsupial pouch. Late to the Punchline moments ensue when she reaches in to get anything.
 * PMJ the Hamster's personal assistant Helga provides her boss with transportation this way in Sequential Art. One could say it's the "breast seat in the house".
 * Justified and discussed in The Zombie Hunters. Disaster Scavengers Maureen and Sammie make use of these to smuggle lipstick and cigarettes on the sly while on salvage missions for their Island Base of Zombie Apocalypse survivors. As Sammie puts it, "That's what tits are for." Their teammate Jenny later plays this for laughs when she crank calls her team captain (and longtime boyfriend) for their amusement:

"Through intense training, Tiren has learned to hide an innumerable amount of weapons on her person, regardless of what she happens to be wearing."
 * Genderbent in Prequel. Gharugg keeps things in his abs.
 * In Dubious Company, after capturing the pirates, Marty frisks Tiren. The Extended Disarming sequence leaves a mass of weapons greater than her, and he is creeped out by where she keeps her shirukens. Also noted on her profile page:


 * In Devil Bear, Mo does it with sort-of-remnants of her former boss. Two pages later she finishes this and moves on to Tempting Fate («no one will ever notice»).

Web Original

 * Khanzarina Misha from Open Blue hides a handgun in her cleavage. Rumor has it that she keeps her saber in there too.
 * The spectacularly busty Winter Pierzina and her viral "Bra Purse" series spoofs this, although she admits that she really does this on a regular basis.
 * Survival of the Fittest v4 pre-game has a bizarre example, where a character puts around 6 to 8 jello shots down her bra. Needless to say, this is treated as Snark Bait among many handlers, to the point of borderline Memetic Mutation. In a previous game, Maxie Dasai - somewhat more realistically, stows a pistol in her shirt. This is lampshaded by the student she's fighting, who has to restrain himself from ranting at her about gun safety. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the more serious afterwards, as her opponent, Adam Reeves, tore her shirt and bra open to get to the gun, leading to him raping Maxie.
 * That Guy With The Glasses
 * Marz Gurl plucks a folded stack of money from her bust to pay Linkara for one heckofva night in "Linking Up with Linkara".
 * While reviewing Interstella 5555 with other crew Paw Dugan, Nella and Elisa, Jew Wario is skeptical at the sight of the female lead tucking a card between her boobs. Lisa responds that it's just one of those special things about being a lady. To demonstrate, Nella pulls several tins of food out of her bra. Shocked, Jew Wario turns back to Elisa, who has produced three books and a pair of sandals from her cleavage.
 * Dominic jokes about all the things that have gotten lost in Lara Croft's cleavage.

Western Animation

 * Family Guy: Chris' substitute teacher hid everything in her boobs, including a whole class' worth of tests. She even had a machete in there. And then there's the time the raccoon that kept attacking Peter jumped out from between Lois' breasts after she undid her blouse. It was the third time the raccoon attacked Peter.
 * Animaniacs
 * The teacher also stows many things in her Compartment. Yakko commented, "What else you got in there?"

 * The Venture Brothers
 * When the Monarch proposes to Dr. Girlfriend, they're about to have sex and she's completely naked. He's therefore understandibly baffled when she pulls of list of concessions he needs to make out of nowhere, though his reference to how it's "undoubtedly moist" shows that the Monarch has his theories.
 * "I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills": Doctor Girlfriend pulls an aerosol can from her cleavage, while wearing her Queen Etheria costume to boot!
 * Sit Down, Shut Up: Miracle Grohe keeps a list of all the students who are on the starvation drive in her blouse.
 * Cliché from Stripperella.
 * Aeon Flux, "Utopia or Deuteranopia?" Aeon hides the key in the top portion of her costume, only to depose of her top a few seconds later. She later retrieves the key from her Thong of Shielding, bordering on a case of Trouser Space.
 * Near the end of one Pepe Le Pew cartoon, Pepe is looking for Penelope, thinking she has maybe returned to the perfume shop. Penelope, who finds a blue Pepe to be extremely hot, comes in behind him, closes the door, and drops the key down the front of her coat. It's a Poetic Justice ending: Pepe had been chasing her throughout the cartoon because a spill of whitener had left her tail with a skunk-like streak. Towards the end, she fell in a rain barrel (removing the white on her tail and giving her a cold so she can't smell anymore) while he fell in the blue paint (covering up the BO that made her run away earlier). Now she's chasing him. Several Pepe Le Pew cartoons have these turnabout endings.
 * Batman the Animated Series: in "Pretty Poison", Poison Ivy retrieves her poison lipstick from her cleavage.
 * A use of not getting past the radar in KaBlam!: The Kablammy Awards episode ended by giving the award to the winning cartoon. Where's the envelope? In June's dress. But seeing as she's ten and well, doesn't have anything, they got away with it. But so did a lot of other things.

 * Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, "The Mystery Solvers Club State Finals": Principal Quinlen keeps her very moist cell phone in between her highly visible cleavage. Don't misread that, the phone is moist because she fell in the pool and lost the top button of her blouse, along with her glasses and ponytail.
 * Young Justice: Madame Xanadu in "Denial".
 * Stickin' Around's own Stacy Stickler is a rare young girl example of this, since she does this with a bottle opener to prevent Bradley from opening a bottle of Mr. Fizzy until after he helps her clean up her closet.
 * Luanne in King of the Hill stuffs dollars in her top to hide them from Bobby in the episode "Joust like a Woman".
 * A girl also did this in the Beavis and Butthead episode "Date Bait" after Butthead gives her some dollars.
 * DC Showcase: Catwoman features Selina retrieving her whip and a golden cat collar from inside her suit by way of her undoing her top. This is quite impressive considering just how tight we see the suit really is.

Real Life

 * During their infamous performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna would stick their microphones down their cleavage when they were dancing. It wasn't that noticeable on Madonna, since she was wearing a black tuxedo, but on the other two (especially Britney), it was odd looking.
 * There have been bras designed with a pocket between the cups to hold money.
 * There have also been bras designed with a holster between the cups. There just aren't many good places for a woman to carry concealed, y'know.
 * Those frilly gowns with corsets worn by ladies of the pre-industrial age did not have any pockets. Where did the ladies keep love letters? In the Victoria's Secret Compartment!
 * Efforts to avert this trope in real life are one of the big reasons that premodern police forces kept a few "matrons" on staff- female police officers who wouldn't cause quite as much hilarity to ensue in a search. Even today, police and other law-enforcement departments, for legal and practical reasons, keep females on the rolls to handle anything beyond a basic on-the-spot frisk.
 * In Massachusetts there was an infamous case where a state senator was caught stuffing bribery money into her bra.
 * Quite a few girls who go to parties in an outfit designed without pockets will keep their phone in there. Lily Allen can be seen doing just this in the music video to one of her better singles.
 * Wedding dresses don't have any pockets, and neither will the bridesmaids; a few strategically placed tissues can be quite handy if anyone's a little tearful after the big moment.
 * In the 1950s, the "Miami Brassiere Brigade" stole hundreds of thousands of dollars of coins from phone boxes (it went to the company where they worked) by putting it in their bra. The things you learn from QI...
 * There is a knitting pattern for a bra with a pocket. While not in the cleavage, it claims to be able to hold condoms, change, and other small items.
 * Hurricane Katrina Rescues, an animal rescue programme, mentioned that just prior to Hurricane Katrina when people where evacuated to Texas from Louisiana via coaches people were smuggling their pets on board with them when there was a no pet policy. According to the Houston SPCA, one such animal-smuggling lady managed to hide a cockatiel in her bra.
 * An anecdote from the filming of the original Doctor Who: apparently during the filming of the 1987 episode "Time and the Rani", the actress who played the female villain, Kate O'Mara, held up recording because her stick-on beauty spot had vanished from her face while on location, which meant they couldn't film her as it would have caused a continuity issue. It turned up an hour or so later... down her cleavage.
 * Jamie Lee Curtis demonstrated on The Late Late Show that she kept a Palm Pilot and other items in her bra. May have been a call back to True Lies.
 * When S. Epatha Markerson won a Golden Globe in 2006 for her performance in Lackawanna Blues, she had her acceptance speech concealed in her cleavage. It created a really funny moment when she mentioned that it "moved" and she couldn't find it, and a really heartwarming speech when she had to wing it.
 * In a marching band with woodwind instruments, this is actually quite reasonable. Marching band uniforms don't always have pockets, and woodwind players always need a spare reed on hand.
 * Many female shop lifters will attempt this. You'd think women would keep stolen goods away from where most men are looking.
 * There's a news story, complete with footage, about a Midwestern woman being questioned by the police during a murder investigation who had a baby squirrel pop out of her cleavage several times during the interview. Each time, she just pushed it back down without comment.
 * It is, or was, common for women to keep their lipstick in their bras even when carrying a purse. The warmth softened it, making it easier to apply evenly.
 * Paraguay earned a lot of supporters at the 2010 FIFA World Cup after international press caught hold of Larissa Riquelme. It was later discovered to be part of a mobile phone company campaign - less explicit than the one she did later.
 * Girls often tuck iPods into their cleavage when running around the track in gym class or at gyms so they can listen as they run.
 * For "smaller" girls, the side of the bra can be substituted for between the boobs, especially if they wear a size too small or a push up bra. This should be the side of the breast, not under the armpit. Generally used for phones or iPods. Be careful, this may cause an odd lump under the shirt.
 * Sports bras create an actual 'pocket' between the breasts since they're made in one straight piece of fabric instead of discrete cups. Beware stuff shoved in the top making its way down between the breasts and out under the elastic strap, especially if it's heavy or the bra's a little tight—the notch at the base of the breastbone can create a gap under some circumstances.
 * Jennie Stencel from WXII apparently can hold quite a bit in her bra.
 * The WonderBra has been recommended to travelers as a form of money belt, putting extra cash into the insert pockets.
 * Larger-breasted women are especially lucky in this area in terms of how much stuff they can hold in this compartment without it being noticeable. With large breasts comes great difficulty finding shirts that actually fit properly, especially if she has a much smaller waist circumference than that for the bust, so assuming that she doesn't tailor it later, the shirt will go over the bust and hang down. If a larger breasted woman is in this situation, she can put amazing amounts of stuff under the breast that can create quite a lump, but is quite invisible if she keeps her shirt on. This is sometimes called "infinite capacity".
 * Many women keep cash/credit cards tucked in the bra even if they do have pockets. A woman may not notice if someone picks her pocket in a crowd, but it's a sight more noticeable if someone tries to reach down her bra.
 * One company now sells a bra-mounted beverage pouch for women. They call it the Wine Rack. According to their press releases, it holds 25 fl. oz., and makes an A-cup into a DD.
 * Female operatives in World War II were specifically trained in the use of all possible hiding places on their persons, especially the ones most men would be reluctant to examine too closely. This was most assuredly among them. This aspect of training has most likely been retained.
