Booby Trap Bras, an Austin, Texas-based company that markets self-defense sports bras, is seeing a spike in sales after recent attacks on female joggers, according to WFMYNews.

Booby Trap Bras designed the first self-defense bra, which contains a sheath built into its layers. There is a compression sleeve knife sheath, and one with a larger pepper spray pocket. The sports bra can be worn while walking, running or simply running errands.

Founder Jennifer Cutrona explains the origin of the highly functional apparel.

“I walked around thinking life was all rainbows and butterflies until I was jumped out at on a local running trail,” said Cutrona. “I was in active wear and had no form of protection on me. The little pocket knives I had collected over the years were all at home in the drawer with my pepper spray. I needed something I could pull in less than a second.

“We came up with the idea to sew a knife sheath inside my sports bra and used that home-made prototype to file a patent. From there, we received a whirlwind of support from family, friends, retail stores and manufacturers… Our distributors and partners are the best in the business.

“The sheath fit the bra like it was meant to be there. Because of this, our motto was born… ‘Stay safe. Stay active.’”

Booby Trap Bras… protection in more ways than one.

Booby Trap Bras range in price from $49.99–$54.99, and come in a variety of colors. The knives and pepper sprays are sold separately on the Booby Trap Bra website.
