Avalon says she is buying these for my birthday. Now we can play pull my finger all the time. I could have used these yesterday.
Fart with Confidence with Shreddies, the Flatulence-Filtering Underwear
“Nope, sorry guys. Can’t go out tonight. I’ve got a serious case of the farts.” If you’ve ever had to stay in, curled up on the couch in complete solitude because your bowels were no friend of yours (or anyone else’s for that matter), then you very well understand the effect of public flatulence on self esteem, confidence, and overall self worth. (Research has actually found that people are more likely to make negative judgments about a situation while they’re in the presence of a fart-like odor.) [1]
Thankfully, there’s an undergarment for that! UK-based company Shreddies created men’s and women’s underwear that contain zorflex, a material that allegedly filters super offensive odors — ya know, like the ones emitted from your tush. The company claims the super skivvies can neutralize odors up to 200 times the stink strength of the average fart.
Each time the magical undies run through the wash, the carbon material is reactivated (according to the underpants’ makers). The underwear comes in briefs and high-waisted briefs for women (starting at $30) and boxer briefs and support boxers for men (starting at $45). The panties of the future aren’t exactly new. In 2008, Shreddies whipped up their undies hoping to alleviate the social hindrance that is chronic flatulence. Now they’re gaining buzz in the States. The Shreddies motto is “Fart with Confidence.” We’re not kidding.
Breaking the effects of breaking wind — what a novel idea. We haven’t tried Shreddies for ourselves, but research does point to active charcoal (like what’s in Shreddies) as a remedy for flatulence [2]. But before you get your panties in a bunch, know that while Shreddies do (supposedly) mask scent, they do not in fact mute bodily noises (total bummer).
Hope they make them for dogs. Mine could use a pair.
Such crap (which may or may not have a precedent fart!). There are a number of things that originate with (or within) the human animal (and we are animals) that are perfectly normal and need no suppression.
Privacy has worked its’ way into our civilization so that certain normal human functions have been labeled “not to be shared” with others, especially the opposite sex.
Why such normal functions should be labeled “bad” and to be “apologized” for is stupid. More a likely laugh and a “Go away before you do that!” is more in order since bi-sexual concurrence of the production of methane gas from gastric processes is universal to mammals is equal between between both sexes.
A good fart is so satisfying!

I rarely fart except sometimes before my morning dump.
FACT: When charcoal is burned it gives off a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide.
So, Admin eats a hot chile pepper dinner. He farts. YOU die!!
I fart when I fuck. Thankfully, so does Ms Freud.
Interesting concept…
I wonder…

“I strongly advise against intentionally farting whilst moving heavy weights. Sometimes — especially under those circumstances — farts have a solid center.”

Beer drinkers are inveterate gas passers. My co-worker Fartuffe passed shit-ghosts all day long. It’s a tradition long practiced by Nav Techs. The guy before him would sing a tune and fart along. The guy before Him knew how to end a squabble with a well timed pressure relief. No smell, they said.
The book Secret Lives of Women says they like to make phone calls from the john and some have participated in farting contests.
The only way to prevent flatulence it by “Putin” one of these in your rectum.
