* An Israeli song called something like [https://web.archive.org/web/20131022013703/http://www.mp3music.co.il/lyrics/1026.html "Where are those girls"], mentions women carrying a few hand-grenades and a small gun in their bras in case of sudden battle. "But of course, today's cleavages can barely hold what's already there..."
* The video to [[Ke$ha]]'s song "Blow" has her pulling out her ''bra'' at one point.
Line 319:
* Spoofed in this ''[http://askalty.smackjeeves.com/comics/379118/cleavage/ Ask Altair]'' comic—the method makes no sense in the character's case.
* A ''[[The Devil's Panties|The Devils 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 [[Of Corsets Sexy|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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20130124083145/http://laslindas.katbox.net/archive/comic-8-3/ here].
* Parodied with a rare female "down there" version in ''[[Last Res0rt]]'', where Jigsaw hides her Hammerspace inside her... wait for it... ''[[Funny Animal|marsupial pouch]]''. [[Late to the Punchline]] moments ensue when she reaches in to get anything.
* [[Author Avatar|PMJ]] the Hamster's personal assistant Helga provides her boss with transportation this way in ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]''. One could say it's the [[A Worldwide Punomenon|"breast seat in the house"]].

== 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 [http://cdn.idontlikeyouinthatway.com//pictures/20060912/spears%20madonna%20aguilera%20vma/bsca5.jpg odd looking.]{{Dead link}}
* 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.
Line 391:
* There's a [http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/695317-cops-surprised-by-squirrel-in-womans-cleavage 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20110329094614/http://www.brainstorm9.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/larissa1.jpg Larissa Riquelme]. It was later discovered to be [[Hello Boys|part of a mobile phone company campaign]] - less explicit than the one [http://img.over-blog.com/535x635/0/51/46/84/billboard/Larissa-Riquelme-football.jpg 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.
Line 399:
* 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20120118192214/http://www.thebeerbelly.com/The_Winerack_p/200-007.htm 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.
