When you have ever been somewhere that makes pickpockets a big deal because of the theft, you’ll know you should protect against. A travel belt makes you an clear “tourist” when you put your money and identification in them for safe keeping. Stashitwear, on the other hand, provides security, secrecy and (allegedly) comfort. Law officials are worried the convenience of a hidden compartment in underwear might lead to more drug trafficking.
Stashitwear hides drugs and weapons
Drug dealers have been caught by police in New York using Stashitwear to hide small amounts of narcotics and small caliber firearms, reports the Wall Street Journal. Suspects have to be searched better with this as outlined by Police Captain Vincent Pattie of Brooklyn, New York. Stashitwear owner Phillip Scott, 55, told the WSJ that none of his customers gave “even a hint at illegal activity for their purchases.”
However, Patti doesn’t purchase Scott’s excuse.
“A lot of drugs or a small .38 or .22 caliber handgun… They’re not advertising these things for drug dealers but they have to know they’re going to be used by some people who break the law.”
Use a little style while stashing
You will find other secret-compartment underwear companies like Florida-based Stashitwear that offer styles from thongs to boxers. One pair can cost up to $14 while wholesale prices are much cheaper if you ask Scott. The pocket can be 12 inches deep depending on the size of the garment while it can accessed through an eight inch opening in the waistband.
Stashitwear explains the pocket goes from front to back which “basically makes your whole crotch area a secret place for your valuables.”
Scott makes Stashitwear website changes
In an effort to reflect his personality, Scott’s photo on the Stashitwear website used to be one of him in back country attire. Since the Wall Street Journal contacted him following NYPD concern over the product, Scott put on sunglasses and business dress clothes for a new photo. There is nevertheless the underwear with the hidden compartment.

Oh what is all the hype about? Just orders yours today at http://www.Stashitwear.com and make me really happy. Seriously, if someone asks to buy them for illegal purposes then of course I don’t sell to them. If someone contacts me and says ” I want to purchase a pair of those great Stashitwear so I can smuggle 100 pounds of Cocaine across the border” and i sell them to the undercover agent then I will be immediately arrested,charged with conspiricy to smuggles 100 pounds of cocaine, sentenced to life in prison and all because I sold a pair of underwear. But just because someone uses them for something illegal is their responsibility not mine. There are now secret pocket on shoes, belts, hats, pants, shorts, socks, bras, and now underwear. At least you have a lot to choose from.
