{{quote|''"Women have more hiding places than men."''|'''Meryl Silverburgh''', ''[[Metal Gear Solid (Video Game)|Metal Gear Solid]]''}}
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 Ensues|hilarity ensuing]] (consequently, women often stuff a small object down there [[Keep
Occasionally even small pets get stored there (well, it's warmer than a shoulder). Such cleavage critters are usually [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|harmlessly cute]]; if they're [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|longer than they are wide,]] you can bet they're going to be used for blatant fanservice sooner or later. [[Baleful Polymorph|Under]] [[Incredible Shrinking Man|certain]] [[Shotacon|circumstances]], humans can get a [[Double Entendre|ride]] there too, for extra [[Fan Service]] and [[Ship Tease]].
Line 201:
* 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 ''[[
* In Tom DeHaven's novel ''[[Superman|It's Superman!]]'', Lois hides a metal tag that could be used to incriminate Lex Luthor in her white cotton Gamble's brasserie when questioned by the police.
* Sheen from [[Piers Anthony]]'s ''Phaze'' series carries small tools in her breasts. Note that because Sheen is a {{spoiler|robot, this is entirely literal; she actually detaches her breasts to reach these items.}}
Line 241:
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', "Who Are You?" Faith [[Freaky Friday Flip|(while in Buffy's body)]] stuffs money in her bra. Willow tells Buffy she would keep 'stinky yak cheeses' in her bra for magical reasons.
* ''[[Dark Skies]]''. The Soviet agent played by Jeri Ryan keeps a silenced pistol in her cleavage as seen in [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fhzeue5zJfI this scene]. But then as ''[[Voyager]]'' fans are [[Latex Space Suit|well aware]], she's got plenty of room.

* ''[[VIP]]'' has valerie Irons (Pamela Anderson) hiding everything the propmaster could find, but she's outshone by Kay Simmons (Leah Lail), who had a laptop (or perhaps ''top''top) ''computer'' hidden there.
* Larry's agent Jeff in ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm (TV)|Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' is accused of having a small penis by an ex-mistress, who works as a maid. Jeff explains that in fact it's the opposite, she has a very large vagina. Larry suspects her of stealing a baseball, and when he loses his cellphone tries calling it. ''Hilarity ensues''.
Line 260:
* In the ''[[All in The Family (TV)|All in The Family]]'' episode "Mike's New Job", Edith does this with a slip of paper (on which is written the phone message that will lead to Mike and Gloria's move to California) to keep it away from Archie. Archie doesn't hesitate to go in after it.
* Alex hunter from ''[[White Collar]]'' hides a knife here. {{spoiler|She and Neal use this to escape the Big Bad's [[Death Trap]] in one of the season finales.}}
* In ''[[
* In ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' serial "Hampton Wick", there is a sequence in which the female protagonist works as a pickpocket. She is shown stealing watches, wallets and other valuables, hiding them in her blouse, and later extracting them to give them to the crooks who employ her. After a few iterations, she is seen with an uncomfortable expression on her face; then she drops a stuffed alligator onto the heap of loot.
** The tendency of women to try and use this trope for shoplifting was referenced in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKCZRg4EveU this] skit (about the 3:50 mark).
Line 385:
* There is [http://www.knitacondomamulet.com/bra-breast-pouch-condom-a.html a knitting pattern] for a bra with a pocket. While not in the cleavage, it claims to be able to hold condoms <ref>which is actually a bad idea, since body heat can weaken the rubber in a condom, which is also why they don't recommend that men keep them in their wallets</ref>, 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 ''[[
* [[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.
