Smears and Roebuck

Product Description:

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 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 only really surprising thing about this is that I didn’t find it on Etsy, but it’s only a matter of time. I’m sure someone is working on a period stain version right now.

    LOVE how the 100′s are casually falling out of the faux-fly….
    if you had that much cash in your tighty-whities, you’d shit too.

    I’m proud that they’re made here in the U.S., I only buy American made skid marks.

    Is it just me, or do they look too small to be worn by an adult man? I don’t think any guy wants to be caught with teenage boy undies.

    @rumi monger , hehehe. Small world.
    I too am a Jew, speak Spanish , Hebrew & some Arabic. (Didn’t get me shit either) I’d sure like to tell Helen Thomas(who WAS a much needed squeaky wheel, I give her that)in her native Lebanese dialect , that although I loathe what the IDF did with the Gaza flotilla , she should go fuck herself & fuck herself again . CUS -e-muc is Arabic for a not so nice referance to her mamas twat. Bout right.
    Sorry for the rant. Not really.

    Aw, this brings back memories of my brothers’ undies on the bathroom floor…

    I can’t begin to match the hilarious comments above, I’ll just say that surprisingly I think some of the magical Regretsy sparkle dust was starting to clear for me the last couple weeks and I just wasn’t getting the same belly laughs, kind of like my South Park fade out… but this just brought it all back. Anything related to toilet humor always does it for me.

    Why would I pay for something I can get from my SO’s laundry basket free? If said snooper knows that there’s a female staying in the room, this might do double duty in keeping molesters away. The Crying Game Effect.
