Japan Develops Fart Relief Underwear

[Mulboyne]

[floatl][/floatl]A firm from Fukui City has announced it has developed fart-resistant underwear. Seiren has unveiled a new line with specially treated fibres which can eliminate the odour of broken wind within thirty seconds. "Remove a bad smell boxer briefs" for men are 4,800 yen while "Remove a bad smell shorts" for women are 5,800 yen. You can also buy handkerchiefs, sheets, blankets and shirts but, given the contortions some of these products require, they are recommended for competitive farters only. A spokesman for the company warned that, while they are confident they can deal with the smell of farts, they can do nothing about the sound.

.. can eliminate the odour of broken wind within thirty seconds...

Um, too late!..

And I always thought men's farts were worth more than women's.

How often do your farts linger for more than 30 seconds? Ok, sure, sometimes a good yakiniku or cabbage soup fart can hang out for awhile, ferment, mature, take on a life of its own, but those are rare and for some cherished. Diffusion is a fart's true enemy.
Thirty seconds to clear a fart? I'm calling BS (no pun intended) on this. Would love to see how this company tested these shorts...."subjects who had eaten large bowls of gyuudon the night before were placed in a well-ventillated room and left to fart at their leisure. Beer was served, and a general sense of giddiness ensued."

The promise is that your underwear will be free of fart fragrance, not that the elevator in which you cut your cheese will never fill with funky fumes.

Well, I want to put these drawers to the test, I consume about 12 pounds of Kimichi in a day, wonder if these miracle undies can eliminate my heavily garlic-scented farts. As for the lingering....I usually exceed 30 seconds...hmmm more like 10 min.
Also, did this company come up with anything for women?? Any "queef silencing undies" in the making? I think there's a market for that, trust me.

I can't see the market yet. They don't have the technology. I personally observed Iraira cock up on one check in the coffee shop and take out four rows of tables, two cooks, a waitress and peeled the paint off the back wall without serious concentration on the blow.

This may be good stuff for the dainty faint hearted flatulence crowd, but it ain't no where developed enough for a true professional farter....

I'm hanging out for the "J-ware" being tested in the ISS:

[SIZE="4"]Japanese Astronaut Tests Stink-Free Pants[/SIZE]

. . . A Japanese astronaut is testing a line of odour-free underwear and casual clothing on the International Space Station.

Koichi Wakata, the first from the Far East nation to live in the orbiting facility, is trying out J-ware, created by textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo.

"He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, a Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency offical.

Mr Wakata's clothes, developed by researcher Yoshiko Taya, are designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly.

. . . They also are flame-resistant and anti-static, not to mention comfortable and stylish.

Japanese astronaut Takao Doi gave the clothes a trial run during a shuttle mission last year.

. . . A commercial line could also be launched with the researcher working with manufacturers Toray Industries and Goldwin Inc on clothes that have a microscopically thin chemical layer in the materials. . . more

Odour-eating AND flame-resistant - they'd be cool enough to wear on the outside!

When they finally develop a skid mark resistant pair of shorts, it'll have a "Greji Approved" stamp on each pair. Until then, you'll just have to continue explaining to people that you were eating fudge in a high humidity restroom, and that explains the crusty brown spackle.
