An interesting new clothing line offering wearable protection for when things go wrong on a first date. The clothing brand responsible for this underwear hopes to protect young women from date rape and non consensual sex.
The underwear is created with self-defense first. The under garments are made to make it very difficult for an attacker to remove by either force or stealth force.
Here is what the company Arwear said on their Indiegogo campaign page: igg.me/at/AR-Wear
We developed this product so that women and girls could have more power to control the outcome of a sexual assault. We wanted to offer some peace of mind in situations that cause feelings of apprehension, such as going out on a blind date, taking an evening run, “clubbing”, traveling in unfamiliar countries, and any other activity that might make one anxious about the possibility of an assault.
We believe that the tools of self-defense currently available are not effective in many common settings of sexual assault. Training in martial arts or products such as pepper spray, tear gas, stun guns, etc. can only help if the potential victim is extremely alert and bold when an attack occurs. Worse still, products of self-defense can be taken from the victim and used against her.
