Shreddies - Flatulence Filtering Underwear....
Permalink  

Article from Ross Bilton - The Weekend Australian Magazine...

Shreddies:  What is it ?  A range of flatulence filtering underwear.

Pull The Other One:  No, really.  It's a serious product, using serious technology.  The back of the undies contains a thin panel of Zorflex, which filters out the noxious smells.

Zorflex ? :  It's a type of cloth made of activated carbon.  It was originally developed for use in chemical warfare suits.

So it can handle a little hottie then? : Absolutely.  In fact the hottie - aka the "silent but deadly" - is a perfect match.  Because until these undies incorporate noise-cancelling technology too, they can't hope to disguise a ripper.

Verdict:  The acid test was sitting on the sofa in front of the TV, drinking beer and parping.  Not one word of complaint from the missus.  Is this every bloke's holy grail, or what?

myshreddies.com/about/flatulence

The manufacturer claims that ...

Our underwear is discreet, offering the wearer added assurance that nobody will be able to tell you are wearing anything other than regular underwear.

... but the recommended farting posture is a dead giveaway:

To avoid flatulence escaping around the filter we recommend that you stand with your legs together and try to let your wind out slowly. When sitting, keep your knees together and sit upright so that flatulence cannot escape forward. If your shreddies fit correctly and you ensure that your flatulence passes through the rear panel all odour will be removed.

It would also make it squeaky, I am sure some of us have heard the saying, "there is nothing worse than the agonising scream of a trapped fart"...hmm

wherever you may be let your wind go free, it's best to fart and stink a little, than bust your arse and be a cripple.

The Queen was showing the Archbishop of Canterbury around the royal stable, when one of
the stallions close by farted so loudly it couldn't be ignored. "Oh dear," said the Queen, "How
embarrassing. I'm frightfully sorry about that." "It's quite understandable," said the
Archbishop, and after a moment, added, "as a matter of fact I thought it was the horse."

Dr Hilary Jones advises that flatulence is 'better out than in'.

Now that you've mentioned it, a gas mask based on activated carbon removes gases by adsorbing the molecules. It is not a chemical reaction. 

http://science.howstuffworks.com/gas-mask2.htm

Activated charcoal is good at trapping carbon-based impurities ("organic" chemicals), as well as things like chlorine. Many other chemicals are not attracted to carbon at all -- sodium and nitrates, to name a couple -- so they pass right through. This means that an activated-charcoal filter will remove certain impurities while ignoring others. It also means that, once all of the bonding sites are filled, an activated charcoal filter stops working. At that point you must replace the filter.

Instead of replacing your Shreddies once they become saturated, you are supposed to wash them in sodium bicarbonate solution (baking soda). This begs the question, does the laundering process release a week's worth of trapped farts all at once?
