It’s just a handy place to put my phone down for a second. Or stash a pen or a credit card.

    PLEASE don’t put your phone in your bra. It’s odd, I found articles talking about no increased chance, but also remembered hearing about it in the news years ago, and saw these:

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7605549/ “Excessive smartphone use significantly increased the risk of breast cancer, particularly for participants with smartphone addiction, a close distance between the breasts and smartphone, and the habit of smartphone use before bedtime.”

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3789302/ “All [4] patients regularly carried their smartphones directly against their breasts in their brassieres for up to 10 hours a day, for several years, and developed tumors in areas of their breasts immediately underlying the phones.”
