Secret Stash™ - Bra Pocket

I have never been able to get myself to use a traditional money belt-- no matter what you do it shows under your clothes. On my recent Europe trip I used this and it was great. It is about the size of a credit card, so I put a credit card, my debit card and extra cash in it. It felt secure knowing that nobody could get to it without me knowing and even if someone took my purse I would have a way to access my money. Not big enough for a passport, but I can live with that.

I was hesitant after reading reviews that this was potentially scratchy or uncomfortable--I don't know what they're talking about! This is the perfect solution to the times you want to be hands free, when you don't need anything more than an ID, a small car key, a $20 or a credit card. Very secure velcro, will work with some part of most women's undies..either the front or the bra, the side of panty, etc. Obviously your stash is going to be far under your clothes and you can't reach for it easily without going to a restroom/private area, but there's situations when it's worth it not to have an awkward mini-purse or wallet to be keeping track of. I usually wear skirts and dresses rather than jeans/pants and so this is a way to have a "pocket". I'll be taking mine travelling to Italy...on an actual train I may need the full money-belt for securing a passport, but when dressing up for the evening I expect I'll just use this. Got the nude-beige one and it's super soft. Love it!

I got this thinking I could go to the bar without a purse in an outfit with no pockets and still be fine! However, I've discovered it's more of a product aimed at hiding stuff away that you can only really take out in the bathroom...Because of the way the closure works, it's not easy to discretely take stuff out and put it back in. It's more of a thing you'd use to keep an extra credit card, extra cash for the cab fare home, vallet key, house key, etc. This is not a wallet/purse replacement! However, I see the value in having the emergency place (so if your purse gets stolen like mine did, you'll still have a way to get home, unlike I did without the help of friends).

I'm a world traveler and was looking for a way to hide my main money stash when I'm staying in places where my room isn't secure. This is pretty good. Just don't confuse this for a wallet replacement. Here's why:1. If you keep this on your bra (side or front), you will not have access to it all day long every time you need to get to your money. Picture yourself reaching up your shirt in a marketplace. I suppose it's easier to pull out if it's on your hip, but see #2:2. The design of this thing is such that there's a little flap over the top, like an attached lid. There's also a Velcro strip for going around your bra strap/panties/whatever, and when that's in use it actually covers and locks the lid closed. So, while it's attached to your body, you cannot just slide a credit card or money out of it-- it's locked shut by the Velcro. That's great for security, but it means you're not just reaching under your clothes and sliding out a card to pay for something. You have to remove the whole thing. So, it's not descreet enough to be getting into and out of it all day.HOWEVER, 4 stars because it's a great product if what you want it for is a place to keep your backup money that you don't need that day. This is a long term storage place for your money that you don't need today but didn't feel comfortable leaving in your room/dorm.Comfort: I put a couple of credit cards in it and wore it around the house for a day on the side band of my bra, and forgot it was there pretty quickly, as it's very soft. I also put it on the hip of my bikini underwear for a while, but I didn't like that quite as much, as when I went to the bathroom I didn't like being worried that it would come off. Less movement on the bra. I didn't try the front of my bra, as that seemed silly and the other way worked perfectly.Update: I've been abroad with this for a week now. Lost 1 star for 2 reasons:1. The Velcro sometimes scratches your arm or body-- ouch! I now wear this upside down and the problem was solved. (Nothing falls it because the strap covers the lid.)2. This is made of soft material, and as such it doesn't have much structure. Because of this, and because you have to fold bills in quarters to fit in there, it's a little bulgy. I wear my clothes loosely so I don't notice it, plus you can put it on the inside of your side bra strap to help hold it closer to your body, but there's a limit to how much cash you would fold in there before noticing a bulge. If you wear tight fitting clothes you're best off using this for credit cards since they stay flat, and no more than 1 bill.

The perfect way to stash your extra cash and cards discreetly and comfortably. Works way better than the necklace or belt types, both of which I've tried and found to be incredibly unattractive and/or uncomfortable. With pants, it feels a bit like you have something in your pocket, but no one else will notice. With it dress, it may stick out a bit. I usually put the bag side to my skin.Big enough to fit several credit cards and a wad of cash. Not big enough for a passport. You will need to visit a restroom to get anything in/out of it, unless you don't mind flashing your underwear.

Just back from a two week trip around Europe with my three year old. I bought the neck pouch for my passport, but wanted something for easy access once I was there and able to put larger items in a safe. I kept two credit cards and cash in this and LOVED having my hands free for carrying things and holding my little one.I kept the lace side faced inward instead of outward. It made it less bulky and I felt like it was more secure that way.Perfect for keeping your cruise key with you without having to look like you have a key necklace around your neck.I gave one to each of the kids. Some of the girls used it, some preferred their locking purses. So it's a matter of taste.This isn't an item that was designed to last forever, but I loved having it for the trip. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Pretty worked well, stayed put on the roller-coasters. Wish it came in more colors

I used this in Italy for 2 weeks and it was perfect. I had read from a lot of different sources that pickpocketing occurs quite often so I wanted to do my best to prevent that. The weather during my stay ranged from 60 - 70 degrees F so I wasn't sweating. I'm not sure if it would have irritated my skin if the weather was more hot and humid and I was sweating. I can imagine that over time the Velcro will naturally acquire other fibers and may not be as secure but I think this is product is superb for the price! I had the actual pouch against my skin and then wrapped the strap around my bra strap. So the strap is facing outwards. Of course the opening of the pouch is facing upwards! I think this is the most secure way to wear this.

This is such a good product idea, I had to try it out. My main concern was that it would be scratchy, but the fabric doesn't irritate my skin.On the other hand, the opening is kind of like a pillowcase, with a protective flap over it. This means the cash inside will be hard to get to. Like, really hard, and I am not able to fit a credit card in here because the opening is sewn so small. But it's good for an emergency stash or large bills you simply want to be inaccessible. You'd have to go to the bathroom or a secluded place to get to any cash stashed in this item.

Traveling with my sisters to Europe. Purchased both Eagle Creek & Braza BTW thanks to "C" for her comparison review.Braza: was great! Purchased 2: The 1st one I did use in Europe was great. Was not itchy for me & always forgot it was on. Previous reviews advised itchy. They must have improved the lace as it is smooth now. This item is really for money you are not going to use during the day, as the velcro is noisy. Kept my US dollars safe! The 2nd one's Velcro was already unraveling. (left that one at home--it happens--no worries--returns are easy with Amazon Prime). Would definitely recommend "Braza" not just for Europe but also for evening eventsEagle Creek: Was a "NO" immediately due to the seams were made uneven leaving the left side exposed. BUT not only that, you MUST measure the middle width of your bra. It will only hook to 1-1/2 width.Unfortunately, I was only able to use the one Braza Stash. Purchase early so they can replace the items before your trip.

Great idea, I like mine!

I bought the Braza Secret Stach Lace Bra Travel Pocket Pouch for my trip to Brazil. I used it there all the time, and I didn't feel any discomfort. I even was sometimes forgetting I was wearing it. It can fit several plastic cards (3-4) and a couple of bills, however due to its small size you cannot fit any more because it becomes fat and visible under your clothes. Additionally, it wasn't super easy to access cards or money in this pocket pouch because I had to unstick the strap to open it while still wearing it under my clothes and making sure it stays where it was, so it usually was a long procedure. Nevertheless, it helped my money to stay safe, so I will use it on my trips again!

Bought this for my trip to Brazil. Best idea ever! Those stupid travelers belts that go around your waist are super uncomfortable, especially in 105 degree heat. The bra wallet is much more comfortable, and while you can't fit your passport in it, you really don't need to have your passports with you all the time. Plus it's a bit more subtle to quickly flip it out of your boobs than to have to lift up your whole shirt with a belt. Another advantage of the bra wallet over the waist belt is that you can wear under everything! (some low cut tops are problematic) But dresses are no problem. I imagine turtlenecks might pose a problem... but who wears turtlenecks anyways?Downsides include, occasionally people can see it, especially if you're wearing something tight or low cut, or bend over. And when you have to get your money out, it can be awkward, or when you have to strap it back in. The plus of this, is that even if people can tell where your money is, they probably won't be able to steal it.Also, if you have too much stuff in it, (cards/change/ect) the bulge can be quite noticeable.Additionally, if you have small breasts, this might not be the product for you. I don't know, if you only kept cash in it, it would probably be fine. It's pretty thin just by itself.Overall, I recommend! Well priced, and very very handy.

I used this product while travelling throughout Austria & Croatia last summer. Record high temperatures above 100 degrees every day of my trip made me grateful I decided to keep my secret cash stash on my bra vs the conventional money belt around the waist. I found myself chuckling at the other tourists whose "hidden" money belts became visible under their sweaty tees & tanks. But not me, bra stash to the rescue! I found this product very easy to use and extremely comfortable to wear. The velcro clip is secure and the pouch is the perfect size to stash a couple of credit cards and cash. While this isn't normally a product that I would wash regularly, 100 degree temps during my travels made it necessary to wash my pocket pouch on a regular basis and I was pleased by how well this product held up with repeated washings. Overall, I would highly recommend!
