| Its a knife that women can carry on a walk that is disguised in the front of the bra. I can't remember the name. My local news had an article on them. |

| Yeah. I caught part of the news story. Thank you! It seems to be an interesting idea though for female self defense. |

Rediculous IMO. Waste of money.

The single major flaw with this and similar concealed weapon gimmick is that it fails to consider that an assault happens very quickly and if the victim is unable to reach, draw and immediately use her weapon, said weapon is useless.
How in the blue blazes is a woman supposed to get her bra knife out and ready if she is wearing other clothes over it? Carrying a purse or other items in the other hand? |

Yeah, I'm with Montana and Spartacus Maximus on this one!! Someone didn't take a few things in consideration while designing that darn thing, even though their intent was a good one. Also, not every woman wears a bra, especially to bed.

That was my first thought but from the article MAfreak posted it looks more like a sports crop top for running etc. In fact that's what the article says was the inspiration for the top:
| Quote: |
| While training to run a marathon last April, Cutrona was running near her home on a wooded trail in Texas when a man jumped out to grab her. Her frightening experience led her to create the new bras that can conceal a knife or pepper spray |
