Default Clever, If Somewhat Disgusting

So you want to keep cash at your home, but want to find a safe and secure place where no burglar will look. While conventional wisdom would be to hide it away in some secret location in a hard to find spot, the real key is to find a spot where the burglar won't look -- and that may be someplace in plain view. That is the concept behind the underwear skid mark safe (yes, you read that correctly)

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).


Underwear skid mark safe


While a bit disgusting, my bet is it works and you wouldn't get a thief to touch it with a 10 foot pole...and if the goal is to keep the money away from the thief, then it seem to be a fairly good idea.

They are currently on sale for $29.95 (regularly $39.95) at efind out the truth. I could go on about how you could make your own more frugally, but I think I'll stay away from that this time...

I love it! So funny!
I use to hide stuff from my son in my underwear drawer when he was in junior high and high school. I knew he would not want to look in there!

It is a problem sometimes to hide money. I really don't have a good place to hide it.

Neat idea.

And not only is the guy who came up with the idea on where to hide his money clever, he is probably making money selling them. Why didn't my husband think of that.

just a thought, but i'm guessing the chances of a pair of ladies undies getting stolen are slightly higher than they are for a pair of soiled mens undies...
