History Main / VictoriasSecretCompartment

* In ''Film/TheHitmansWifesBodyguard'', when Michael complains about his broken ribs after getting shot through SoftGlass, Sonia pulls a vial of lithium pills from under her boobs to give to him as "pain medication".

* In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol.3'', Gamora pulls out a photo of Quill and his grandfather out of her top.

This can be constrained to realism, so that the character only carries items that could plausibly be stashed this way: keys, notes, money, or other small items. Or it can be ridiculous, as if somewhere in her cleavage is a portal to {{Hammerspace}}: she can somehow stuff an entire HyperspaceArsenal of massive objects in her supportive [[BagOfHolding Bra of Holding]]. If she is pleased by the way her voluminous bust gives her access to such power, it's a source of BigBreastPride, but if her Compartment is so unmanageable she [[RummageFail struggles to find]] stuff accidentally lost down there, it's a source of DCupDistress. Either way, this is a form of BoobBasedGag.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Amy asks Bernadette to hide a recording device in her "ample cleavage" to spy on Leonard's new girlfriend for Penny.
* From ''Series/{{Bones}}'', while pretending to be a carefree married couple with Booth and trying to gain some information off some guys, Brennan walks up to them and casually takes out a wad of cash from her low-cut dress.

** In the episode "Who Are You?" Faith [[FreakyFridayFlip (while in Buffy's body)]] stuffs money in her bra.

** "[[Recap/CommunityS2E08CooperativeCalligraphy Cooperative Calligraphy]]", Annie is accused of hiding her pen here. To rule it out, everyone in the study group has to strip down to their underwear.

* A character in ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' used her breasts to hide money she used to buy cocaine.
* Seen repeatedly in ''Series/{{Deadwood}}'', HBO's Western Drama Series. The prostitute Trixie carries a tiny derringer handgun, and practically never goes anywhere without it. The weapon always stays hidden until she produces it--usually from her cleavage.

* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'': Whilst trying to keep the car keys from Frank, Marie drops them down her blouse. Frank: "I'll walk!!"

* In the ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "The One Where Rachel Is Late", Phoebe puts a 50 dollar note in her bra while saying: "General Grant, why don't you set up camp right there". In "TOW The Lottery", Monica kept some of the extra lottery tickets she bought just for her and Chandler tucked into her bra.
* ''Series/GilligansIsland'': One episode concerned Mr. and Mrs. Howell hearing their financial empire had collapsed while they were marooned and start squirreling away their money to rebuild it when they returned to America. Mrs. Howell briefly hides some of the money down her shirt, but quickly changes her mind when a radio update explains the IntimidatingRevenueService would be going after all their money.
* On ''Series/{{Glee}}'', [[ManipulativeBitch Santana]] got [[SmugSnake Sebastian]] to confess that he purposely injured Blaine by lacing a slushy with rock salt before [[EyeScream throwing it in his eyes]]. Turned out she hid a tape recorder under her breast the whole time.

A woman hides a plot-sensitive item close to her heart -- or more accurately, between her (usually large) breasts. Related to the DoubleStandard, since a man can't reach down there without {{hilarity ensu|es}}ing (consequently, women often stuff a small object down there [[KeepAway to keep a man from getting at it]]). May lead to being NippleAndDimed. Occasionally serves as {{Hammerspace}}. Lends a whole new meaning to the term "breast pocket". Does ''not'' refer to the, uh, [[TrouserSpace other compartment]] or ''other'' [[AssShove other compartment]].

Occasionally even small pets get stored there (well, it's warmer than a shoulder). Such cleavage critters are usually [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter harmlessly cute]]; if they're [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything longer than they are wide]], you can bet they're going to be used for blatant fanservice sooner or later. With a big enough size difference, humans can get a [[DoubleEntendre ride]] there too -- an extreme variation of MarshmallowHell for extra {{Fanservice}} and ShipTease.

If an antagonist knows she's hidden something valuable there and has her in his power, this can result in a ShamefulStrip or PervyPatdown to try to reveal the object. Otherwise, it's the MundaneUtility of the MostCommonSuperpower.

Compare TrouserSpace (the general equivalent for a male character, though females can do it too), AssShove, UnorthodoxHolstering, TorpedoTits. See also CombatHaircomb. Contrast TreasureChestCavity.

This is one of several trope names that could be a "Before & After" puzzle on ''Series/WheelOfFortune.''[[note]]In fact, it was used on the actual show.[[/note]] Or, on the GameShow Series/ChainReaction: Victoria's / Secret / Compartment / Door / Stop / Short / Story / Time.

* Kirche von Zerbst uses this to store her wand in ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''.

* [[ACupAngst Haruna]] from ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' hides the secret scroll Maelstrom borrowed from Ayumu between her breasts, despite the fact that she's at least 3 cup sizes too small to "hide" anything there, much less a big scroll, as the hero Ayumu personally notes.

This is especially noticeable in ''3'', where Jill's wearing a tube top and miniskirt, while Carlos is wearing combat gear loaded with pockets.

* In the Volume 3 [[BonusMaterial Omake]] of ''Manga/GirlFriends'', after [[GenkiGirl Akko]] [[IncredibleShrinkingMan becomes doll-sized]] for [[HandWave 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. [[HilarityEnsues So Akko decides to climb a lot more south and...]]

* ''Anime/{{Godannar}}'': Two of the characters keep their cellphones in their cleavage (though it's [[GagBoobs more like a cavern]] [[WorldOfBuxom for both of them,]] really).

** Meanwhile, Passionlip has an incredibly disturbing version of this as her GagBoobs' cleavage function as ''digital {{Hammerspace}}'' that she dumps high amounts of data into. Anyone who's unlucky enough to fall in[[note]]Short version: the game takes place in a Matrix-like digital space[[/note]] usually never finds their way out due to a.) infinite space and b.) she has no clue on how to pull them out. As of later appearances, she's figured how to get them out but would rather not risk the chance of actually having to do it.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' has [[DistractedByTheSexy Rao]] and her prayer slips. And later, the '''[[GagBoobs Fox Rods]]'''!

** In one issue, ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} and ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} were enjoying a night out when she--wearing a revealing evening gown and no purse--suddenly pulls out a cell phone. When Kurt asks where she had been hiding that, Ororo responds, "My secret."

* ComicBook/{{Mystique}} can actually hide weapons inside herself. In "Get Mystique" she pulls a 9mm Glock out of a pouch at the base of her spine and shoots ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} in the middle of the face; [[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter she is stark naked at the time]].

* ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' (2004) #14: While Franchise/SpiderMan and the ComicBook/BlackCat are breaking into the [[ComicBook/DoctorDoom Latverian Embassy]], [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C0cMkZt9Phs/VxbbVUFe4JI/AAAAAAAADbs/41JLT4QcODUtSNSz7A4zCTzAwuRGRYQJwCCo/s1600-Ic42/RCO006.jpg she states that she hides her tools in her cleavage]] since her costume has no pockets.

* Paraguay earned a lot of supporters at the 2010 UsefulNotes/FIFAWorldCup after international press caught hold of [[http://www.brainstorm9.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/larissa1.jpg Larissa Riquelme]]. It was later discovered to be [[SexSells 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]].

* The [=WonderBra=] has been recommended to travellers as a form of money belt, putting extra cash into the insert pockets.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fics of Creator/AAPessimal, female Assassins keep weapons of almost-last-resort in there, generally flexible stilettos (or working tools like lockpicks and Gigli saws) concealed as underwiring in their bras.
