New Pants Let You Fart Without Embarrassment

An American underwear manufacturer has invented pants designed to hide the smell of flatulence.

The 'Under-Ease pants' feature a built-in, multi-layered replaceable filter, made of felt, charcoal and fibreglass wool.

To prevent gases escaping without passing through it, the underpants are made from air-tight fabric and completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs.

The inventor of the pants, Buck Weimer, describes the pants this way: "Under-Ease are underwear for protection against bad human gas".

"We get a lot of jokes - but we don't doubt that this is a serious product that serves a purpose. They can be worn anytime, anywhere - in bed, to work, at social events, including professional meetings or when travelling in any vehicle, including an airplane".

He says the pants are machine-washable and the filters can last several weeks.
