I really don't know where I'd put pepper spray. Already one side of my bra holds the MP3 player that distracts me from the fact that I am breathing, and in the other one are the keys for the house. I'd have to get another breast and believe me I already have these wonkers- another one would put my back out. <BR/><BR/>I've tried holding things in the waist of my tights but they fall and then we have that embarrassing situation of having to dig in your pants searching for lost items.

I agree with Groovy, I think you need to get something to defend yourself with.
