SUMMARY

Abbie Hawkins, a 19-year-old hotel receptionist, discovered a baby bat in her bra, mistaking its vibrations for her mobile phone. The incident sparked humorous discussions about bra design, with some users noting that modern bras can have pockets for padding. Jaime Eastham from the Bat Conservation Trust confirmed that while they had never encountered such a situation, bats often roost in dark, safe places. The forum also touched on the potential health risks associated with bats, including rabies, although it was noted that the UK is largely rabies-free.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of bra design and functionality
  • Basic knowledge of bat behavior and habitats
  • Awareness of health risks associated with wildlife encounters
  • Familiarity with UK wildlife regulations and rabies status
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the design features of modern bras, including pockets for padding
  • Learn about bat species and their roosting habits
  • Investigate health guidelines for wildlife encounters, particularly regarding rabies
  • Explore the history of rabies in the UK and current regulations on animal importation
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for wildlife enthusiasts, health professionals, and individuals interested in lingerie design, as well as anyone curious about the intersection of fashion and unexpected wildlife encounters.

They said it was tiny, it might have been really tiny. Also, with back closing bras, you fasten them with the cups in the back then move it around to the front, so you might not actually ever look into the cup.
My wife uses that procedure. I guess I need to pay closer attention. :biggrin:

I think I might have freaked out thinking it was a spider or something, but maybe it didn't (or couldn't) move much.
I guess it was a very small bat, perhaps less than the size of a pinky.

Bats, while broad, are amazingly thin, IIRC. It might have only bulged 1/3 of an inch.

pinky?

Sorry if this is slightly off topic: Considering that (some) bat species are endangered - should it not be mandatory for women to configure their bra/cleavage in such a way that they are easily accessible for bats, to provide (temporary) shelter ?

Another geeky answer.

What do I keep in my bra? Often a sigh.

I bet you keep a sigh in your ket, too!

Push up bras to enhance cleavage have pockets where you can insert an optional pad. Yes, I have worn those with certain outfits where you want the girls closer together for a better fit. They don't make you look larger, they just change the position.

I usually just go straight for the duct tape. Getting it off later can be unpleasant, though.

I'm surprised there was no concern about rabies mentioned in this story. I've heard it usually takes a bite to transmit the virus, but isn't there still some risk if there is contact with saliva from an infected critter? (hey, it might have drooled on her.)

I believe there is no rabies in UK.

I never knew that! Wish we could say the same here.

At present, the UK is virtually free of rabies. There had been no reported cases in the UK for over 100 years until 2002 when a man died of rabies in Scotland after been bitten by a bat. As far as we are aware, there have been no cases since, and no cases in the UK for over 100 years caused by bites from other animals. The strict quarantine regulations for imported animals helps to keep rabies out of the UK.
Wow... Funny that the last reported case was from a bat.

. . . it seems it's not fitted properly to have room for a small mammal in it and to not realize it right away. . .

Mammals, mammaries . . . what's the difference! :biggrin:
