Last year, while on vacation in the Bahamas, my Mom and Sister had almost all their valuables stolen. My sister’s Nikon camera (which she’d purchased in anticipation of the trip) and cash were gone. Apparently the room had duplicate keys which fell into the wrong hands. This started me thinking. If a hotel room key could fall into the wrong hands, would the room safe be secure? I think I found the perfect security solution for travelers. Keep reading to find out what’s in the envelope.

The solution that I’ve been taking with me on all my travels is one that you could make yourself at home. Most people even have a pair or two that can be put into use for this purpose.

I’ve seen people use fake tennis ball cans, motor oil containers and even cookie jars. These are all made to hide your valuables in places that they “think” crooks will never think to look.
Crooks are a lot more sophisticated than that.
They know of all the disguise places travelers hide valuables (anyone else hide their wallet in a sock?).
One company has come up with the ultimate hiding place.
It’s a pair of large sized men’s underpants – with a hidden flap to tuck your valuables.

The front of these briefs have a velcro flap where you can place your wallet, loose bills, watch, jewelry and any other valuables that you don’t want a criminal to discover.

And the back has the fail-safe security device guaranteed to keep criminals away from your valuables. The back of the underwear has been adorned with a mark commonly associated with dirty clothing.

Before you proclaim this a “gross” product – think about the usability. What criminal in their right mind would search inside?
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 burgler 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).
The price: $ 11 each

These look like such a classic April Fools Day joke, and yet they aren’t…
I bet they work, too.

The streak looks too fake!
Of course they COULD have adorned it with some yellow stains on the front too.

Yeah, the streak should be more realistic.
Although if your in Mexico or the Caribbean, the crooks may just think you drank the water. LOL
Great product, and a good day to (showcase it).

It’s a stain, it’s a racing stripe. Stop! You’re both right !
