Rooty-Tooty Fresh and Fruity: This New Underwear Line Has a Built-In Air Filter

By A Mystery Man Writer

If you—or someone you know—has a tiny tooting problem (or a big problem, we're not judging), here's an idea for a holiday present where everyone wins. Meet Shreddies' flatulence-filtering underpants—underwear for men and women that contains an absorbent carbon technology that neutralizes smelly emissions (sorry, that's the most polite way I could come up with to say farts). The underwear, created by a British company, uses Zorflex—a material used in chemical warfare protection—and promises to "filter odors 200 times the strength of the average flatus emission," according to the New York Daily News. Available in a variety of silhouettes—including high-leg briefs and boy-shorts for women—the undies have just gone on sale at U.K. retailers—but you can check them out on the Shreddies website online. A rep for the company points out that even though we may chuckle at the undies' fart-mitigating properties, they do have a real, serious usefulness—"To many people they still remain very much a health care product and have helped so many cope with conditions such as IBS, Crohn's, and food intolerances," the rep says. "But the bottom line is that Shreddies are for everyone—after all, it's something we all do." Bottom line, indeed. What do
