Sometimes solutions to problems are a lot easier than they would first appear. Take finding a hiding place for you valuables. Conventional wisdom would lead you to hide them away in some hard to find secret location with the hope a thief wouldn’t look there. A better solution would be to find a spot where the burglar wouldn’t go even if he could see it. That is the concept behind the underwear skid mark safe.
The “Brief Safe” is an innovative diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you’re traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4″ x 10″ secret compartment with Velcro® closure and “special markings” on the lower rear portion.
Leave the “Brief Safe” in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room — even the most hardened burglar or most curious snoop will “skid” to a screeching halt as soon as they see them — wouldn’t you? Made in USA. One size. Color: White (and Brown).
Pretty ingenious. I mean if you were a thief would you be looking through soiled underwear? Since to object is to keep the thief away from the money and most burglars wouldn’t even come close to these, I think it’s a fairly safe bet these could be an effective place to hide your money and valuables. They are currently on sale for $29.95 (regularly $39.95) at efind out the truth.
Now, in the spirit of saving money, I could go on about how you could make your own more frugally, but I think I’ll stay away from that on this occassion…

That is hilarious and truly gross! But do they come in male and female versions?
Why not just DIY ? Think of all the money you will save!!
LOL x 10 – that is disgusting!
haha…damn that is nasty. lol
I think you’ll scare away more than burglars with these! Goodbye girlfriend! lol
They should make period soaked panties too that have room for money
Th last comment works. Years ago, My sister, age 12 left a pair of her underwear with a used sanitary napkin in her underwear drawer. My parent’s house was burglarized and her room was the only room left alone after the top drawer was opened. Everyone else in teh family lost money and jewelry, but not her.
LOL Currently see 1 on sale on eBay for just $16.99!! Item 320014115986
I just crapped on all my electronics goods. Now they are all safe
If I were a burglar, this would be the perfect site for me. Now I would be able to recognize fake stinky pants and go right in for the cash. I will not ever buy these undies or even try to fake it by scribbling brown crayons on some undershorts. The evil ones use the internet for research, too, you know.
If this was as original and clever as it sounds, now every burglar will know it and will check the dirty laundry bag first.
but how about the burglars reading this that will now be picking through genuine skid marked underwear looking for money….heheheheh.
What about burglars with dirty underwear fetish? They’ll be pleasantly surprised, and you’ll lose both the cash and the ‘safe.’
The only problem is I wuldn’t be able to tell them from my real underwear LOL.
now every burglar will check skidmark underware for a chance at striking it rich!
