Makers of Garment Guard Launch New Accessory, Pocksie, to Replace Purses; The Pond Inc. Introduces Temporary Sticky Pocket for Dancing, Traveling&Adventuring

Irvine, CA June 11, 2009

Carrying a purse simply isn&39;t an option when a lady wants to bust a move on the dance floor, venture around crowded streets, or attend concerts. Ditching the ID and some form of payment or having someone else carry it always seems to lead only to frustration. Alas, a solution has arrived.

Pocksie, a temporary pocket, is a new adhesive wonder from the makers of Garment Guard. Here&39;s how it works: one simply peels off a 3.5 x 4" rectangle of 100% super-soft cotton, sticks it to the inside of their clothing, and goes about their business. The wearer&39;s ID, credit card, and a few notes will be secure in a perfectly-sized pocket created by Pocksie and the garment. At the end of the day, just remove the contents, peel off the pocket, and dispose (natural cotton fibers are biodegradable). In the meantime, the wearer won&39;t have to keep track of a wallet or purse.

Kim Leone Olenicoff, founder of The Pond Inc., came up with the idea for Pocksie at the airport, "I wanted to take some hassle out of traveling, but it turns out everyone has a different reason for a hidden pocket; A few of my friends use it when then they run, others love it in place of a purse for going out dancing. Everyone wanted to test it- over and over!"

"Pocksie is awesome!" says Annie Beiner, an early tester of the product, "I would always stick my ID in my bra while I was running, but now I have a comfortable temporary pocket to store my ID and credit card for safe keeping. Now I never run without it!"

Each package comes with 6 Pocksies. Retailing for $9.95, they begin shipping at the end of June. Pocksie will be available at http://www.garmentguard.com and other fine stores that care about clothes.
