I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that this might be a genius invention. These fake pants have secret little Velcro compartments where you can hide all your valuables. The flaw in the idea is unless you live in a student house, one pair of shit-stained undies are going to stand out a mile. So you’d have to have a few decoy pairs lying around, which doesn’t really bear thinking about.
