You know how significant it is to stay from getting pickpockets whenever you have gone to another country where theft is that important. It is never all the comfortable to be the one person with the travel belt screaming “tourist” to everyone when you simply make an effort to keep your money and identification safe. 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. The customers of Stashitwear, as outlined by owner Phillip Scott who’s 55, never 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
There are other secret-compartment underwear companies like Florida-based Stashitwear that offer styles from thongs to boxers. One pair sells for $14, although wholesale purchases can reduce that price considerably, says Scott. The pocket could be 12 inches deep depending on the size of the garment when it can accessed through an eight inch opening within the waistband.
Stashitwear explains that the pocket goes from front to back which “basically makes your whole crotch area a secret place for your valuables.”
Stashitwear website gets a makeover from Scott
Scott had a photo of himself on the Stashitwear website in a country outfit to show personality. 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. Thankfully, the hidden compartment underwear remains the very same.

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.
