There have been a lot of articles on the web in the last few months about where to hide your money and valuables to keep them safe from burglars. The articles describe where you should and shouldn't store them. Such places of where you should not keep you valuables include your top dresser drawers, drawers in your bedside tables, backs of closets, cookie jars, under your mattress, in the toilet tank, etc. Many authors also recommend leaving burglars a 'tip'; in other words a small amount of easily found cash so the burglars find it and leave without spending too much time in your house.
Here is one suggestion I have that I've never seen anyone write about for a burglar tip. Gather up any old coins laying around that aren't worth much or even not worth anything above face vale, but just look old. Put them in a box, put a label on it that says 'coin collection' and keep it in your top drawer of your dresser. Keep your real coin collection in your safe deposit box, or if you must keep it at home, keep it in non-obvious places for burglars [I have lots of ideas but I'm concerned about the info being spread around too much.
Let me tell you NEVER where to hide stuff. Never, ever store valuables at the bottom of a waste basket. The burglars may never look there, but you can be sure that at some point in the future, either you or a family member will accidentally throw out the good with the garbage. [If it sounds like I am writing from personal experience, I sort of am. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve what was lost before it ended up in the garbage truck.]
So what does all this have to do with dirty underwear? There is a company that sells what it calls Diversion Safes. Their popular item is what looks like dirty underwear with a place in it to conceal money, jewelry, or other valuables. If you want to see a picture of it, go to the link and scroll down the page. They also sell a lot of other hiding products.
