I received a note from a mother of a diabetic who thanked me for creating pocketbra®. Her 20 year old daughter has had diabetes since she was 4 years old and she wanted to let me know that pocketbra® was a game changer for her insulin pump. She said she wished she had found pocketbra® sooner and thanked me for making "this great product".
Knowing that I was able to make this young woman's life a bit easier is so incredibly rewarding and makes me so very happy.

When I was first approached to review the PocketBra I literally said “huh, a bra with pockets?”. I had never heard of such a thing. Like most young women looking to forgo carrying a purse I simply stuffed money, cards, makeup and my phone into the cups of my bra during a night on the town. The idea of finding a bra with actual pockets meant to store my belongings strongly intrigued me!
About the PocketBra
The innovative bra design literally has two pocket inserts, one in the cup and another in the side banding, allowing you to inconspicuously carry small objects! The stylish product, created by Sherri Winks, was created to alleviate the burden of carrying handbags.

Pros of the PocketBra
The underwire provides a great deal of support and it is definitely on par with other successful bra companies. The fabric is strong and soft without being uncomfortable or imposing. The demi bra has very light padding making it comfortable enough to wear for long periods without feeling painful.
I ordered the Pocket Bra in my actual size and a cup size smaller to properly assess the fit. I was very happy with the fit of the cup size. The bra is very true to size and didn’t leave excess space between my cleavage and the fabric.
The bra itself is fashionable and trendy. I love the lacy side bands and the small lace insert in the front of the bra. The black lace bra is very sultry while the pink version is pretty and feminine.
It was actually fun to be able to ditch my purse and carry all of my little necessities hidden away instead of in an oversized bag or bothersome clutch. I can only imagine how handy this would be during long pageant events or titleholder appearances!
Cons of PocketBra
Unfortunately, the Pocket Bra currently only comes in midnight black and cherry blossom pink. Also, the bra only comes in sizes 32B to 38D which is disappointing for women who fall outside of this range. I think the product would be much more marketable if it came in a wide variety of colors especially nude. Additionally, a broader size range would make this a more sought after product.
Conclusion
The PocketBra is definitely worth a try! The bra is well made and fits comfortably and you won’t feel any discomfort wearing it. Having a cheeky hidden pocket makes carrying objects discreetly extremely convenient!
10 Reasons to Ditch the Purse and wear a PocketBra™
Let’s face it. You no longer find pockets in most women’s fashion apparel – for instance, leggings, dresses, skirts and tight pants. Today’s fashion has left young women with a shortage of pockets. So, where do we turn? Purses… However, society is changing, along with societal needs. I believe every woman should rethink their choice of accessory for the following reasons:
Purses slow us down. It’s a liberating feeling not having to worry about a purse. Try it!
Whether you are at a club, restaurant or concert there is no safe place to leave your things without worrying. So how are you supposed to dance and enjoy yourself without thinking about your purse every 30 seconds? And please don’t be the girl left to look after your friends’ belongings when they are dancing and having a good time.
We all love digging around our purses just to reapply lip gloss and missing phone calls because we couldn’t find our phone under all of our junk…NOT. If only we could keep our valuables close to us at all times…
Our busy lifestyles are not meant to be spent constantly switching purses, finding places to put them and misplacing them. Purses add unnecessary stress to our lives.
Let’s be realistic. All you really need when you go out are a few items – money, credit card, keys, ID and lip gloss.
Purses no longer serve the purpose of functionality. They have become a status symbol. However, having multiple purses for every occasion gets extremely expensive.
Having multiple purses, you often switch your bags for different occasions. However, that results in not remembering which bag you left your wallet in. Ultimately, wasting your time!
Purses leave women vulnerable. You can easily find yourself a victim of mugging when your valuables are in sight.
If you are like me, I would prefer not to have a strap falling off my shoulder every few seconds. You always have to be holding it against you. Sometimes, you just want to let loose and dance!
Purses can be constraining in a society where women are constantly pushing themselves to achieve success.
BUT...
There is now a solution!
Stop stashing all of your things in your boyfriend’s pocket when you go out. There is now a new and exciting alternative to purses that you are going to LOVE! Finally you can ditch the purse with the first-ever, patented PocketBra™!

As a recent college graduate, I have a secret to share with you that has made my life so much easier! Freshman year, I would always lose my keys, ID, and money whenever I went out. I was constantly spending my Sundays retracing my footsteps, making trips to the Apple store and finding ways to minimize my losses. I am sure many of you can relate to this frustrating practice, especially if you are in college.
Although purses provide easy transport for your money, ID and keys when you go out, there is never a safe place to put them. Whether you are at a concert, nightclub, fraternity party or simply on your way to class, purses are always slowing us down. Since all I really needed to keep with me during the night were just a few items, I would keep them in my bra or my boyfriend’s pocket. However, my items would move around in my bra, become sweaty, and were visible.
Then, I discovered the PocketBra™! It has 4 pockets – 2 on each side and 2 in each cup. Also, the padding in the bra keeps items hidden. Now, I can keep my essentials close to me and accessible. Ever since I started wearing the PocketBra™, I haven’t lost anything and always have my valuables with me at the end of the night. Why have a bra without pockets when you can have a bra with pockets?
It’s a strange feeling going out without a purse - until you realize you don’t need it and you don’t want it! It’s so liberating. You have to try it to really understand what I am talking about.
Now, I can dance and enjoy myself without worrying about my valuables! Going out without a purse is the greatest feeling. I feel so free and have such a great time with my friends. I highly recommend this bra for ALL women. It’s not just a bra for going out, but it is a bra for anyone who leads a busy lifestyle. We have enough to worry about – why add to it? The PocketBra™ completely eliminates stress so you can embrace opportunities and enjoy what life has to offer, while keeping your items safe, secure and easily accessible. Accomplish more with the PocketBra™!
