Let's get quirky! We've all experienced different intensities of farts, ranging from nose friendly farts to horrendous type of farts. How good it is to have the killing smell of farts neutralized? Well one company from Loughborough (Shreddies) claims to have the answer to all these putrid farts!
The company's motto is "fart with confidence". The company is known to make flatulent proof pyjamas & underwear. The company utilizes special carbon technology to achieve this feat. The idea was made to keep partners happy by reducing the intensity flatulent smells.
Shreddies, denies that they are a novelty and says there is a science behind their clothes.
The pyjama bottoms and jeans include a carbon-based material called Zorflex, which holds gases and liquids on a surface in a condensed layer.
What is Zorflex?
Zorflex is an activated carbon cloth that adsorbs a large volume of organic or inorganic molecules from various gases and liquids and acts as a high purity filter, a method of separation or as a protective layer. It's often used in chemical treatment suits and is capable of stopping smells 200 times stronger than the average person breaking wind.
Though, as amazing as Zorflex sounds it can't dampen the actual sound of flatulence.
The company says the clothes are designed for people known to have a flatulence problem who may want to improve their relationship. Richard Woolley, a manager at Shreddies, told Newsbeat the product was designed after requests from people needing help.
"One of the common themes from the feedback was a need for something to protect the user at bedtime, especially in a new relationship, on a work trip or staying with friends." - Richard Woolley
In 2008, Shreddies released boxer shorts and knickers for people with medical conditions like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), gastritis, Crohn's disease, dyspepsia and colitis.
The company says anyone can wear their products. "We've developed the products for anybody needing a little extra reassurance," said Richard.
