Has anyone used a bra stash when travelling? Seems like it would be more comfortable than a money belt (although a money belt can hold more, I would just like a place to put a room key, credit card and a bill or two). I'm not that busty either...

RN, I have never heard of the bra stash, so I did a little bit of research. I think this is a great idea for anyone wanting to use this form of a money belt to stash away the particular items you have mentioned. It looks like it sits between the cups of a bra. I doubt it would bring too much attention regardless of your bust size, from the pictures I've seen, I doubt you will be able to notice it. The only problem I can see from this form of money belt is the attention you will call to yourself when retrieving your items.

I used one this year and really liked it. It is small enough to hold a credit card and folded Euros. I liked the fact that no one can tell you are wearing it. It will always be part of my travel wardrobe from now on.

Well, they can sure tell you are wearing it when you have to grope inside your bra to use your credit card. I think it sounds gross, frankly.

Actually I did my groping in private (a restroom). It does not fit into the bra, but hangs in front of it. There's certainly nothing gross about it.

Makes sense to me. I hated the string around my neck last Sept. This seems to make more sense.

OK, right now I'm trying to imagine I was a waiter at a restaurant and a female guest would pull out a credit card that way. Definitely intersting...

Long before I ever had a money belt I used to put money in my bra so, I think the money stash would be much better. There are non showy ways to take the money out.

I got one years ago and unless they have changed, it's very small and probably will only hold a couple of bills and maybe a credit card. Mine had two straps that hooked to the bra straps and then a little pocket that was tucked between the cups/breasts. For extra security, I used a safety pin to make sure it stayed. I didn't think it was very practical, since it didn't hold much and required a trip to the restroom to get out what you needed. I got mine from Magellan's.
