Flatulence Filtering Women's Briefs

I am very happy with these briefs. I have been self-conscious of my flatulence for as along as I can remember. I wish that I had found these years ago; it might have changed my life since I have always withdrawn from being around people. They don't filter out smell completely but filter out about 80% of it if used as directed (keeping your legs together to make sure the flatulence goes through the filter). Drawback: pricey. Yet I plan to keep buying them and using them, so I can get on with my life!

This actually does what it advertises, I bought another one.

I’ve only been using this recent pair for under a month and they already have a hole at the seam. Unfortunately my return window is closed. They definitely haven’t been worn enough to warrant a tear in them. For the price, this is ridiculous.

I have bought several of these over the years. At first I was in love with these. I bought them both directly from their website (which is less expensive but also takes way longer) and from Amazon. I had no problem with these for a while, the only complaint that I had was that they seemed to not last for very long. They'd work effectively for a few months but then I'd have to order them again. Over the last few months I have had to order them again. I bought several (both from here and the website) so that I could have several at a time. It appeared to me that the material had changed a little, it seemed like thinner and slightly stretchier material throughout the underwear. The charcoal filter pad also seemed slightly thinner but I wasn't sure about it. I tried them and they seemed to work but this time they seemed to stop working in quite quickly in rapid succession. I think it mostly happens after washing although I am very careful when washing them and hand wash them using only baking soda. I called to complain the after I bought the previous pair directly from the website. The customer service agent said that there were absolutely no changes to the underwear. She suggested that perhaps I was not washing or drying them correctly. There were two things that she said might have been the cause of what I was saying. One was that I started wearing underwear under the briefs (which I mostly try to buy but they were not in stock when I ordered the pair that I am reviewing) because since I am a woman I was worried that any discharge I was having might be contributing to them not lasting as long as I thought they should. She said that it needs to be worn without them to make sure that the gas is absorbed into the charcoal pad. Next she said that I should not be hanging them to dry but that I should be putting them in the dryer to make sure that they dry completely before re-wearing. I felt neither of these quite made sense but felt that I should at least consider that maybe I was doing something wrong since they had worked for me before. I did not order anymore for several months because they are very expensive and I cannot afford to spend money on something that isn't going to work for me. Below I will describe why I gave this product only 3 stars, for now I will explain why I need the product. I don't have a medical diagnosis yet but I believe that some food may not be digesting completely in my tract, the food then stays in the tract and starts to ferment which causes a gas. For me it is not a methane or sulfur odor but mostly similar to farts that smell like kale but it can vary occasionally. I need these underwear because I work in customer service and I have gas on an almost constant basis. It isn't a type of gas that can be controlled but more like a small but steady release of air throughout the day. Sometimes I actually feel it building, other times I have no sensation at all but the smell is still there. Since it isn't something I can control I cannot, as most people suggest, just go into the bathroom or private space to release it, especially since it happens so frequently. Now onto the review, as above I accepted what the customer service agent said until I tried this last new pair. Here are my objections on why I don't think that I am doing anything wrong in regards to this product. - Wearing underwear under these cause them not to work: This doesn't fit because as I thought back to wearing the first of these products and I am female, I remembered wearing these while on my period. I wore underwear and a pad under these and had no problem since the underwear were smaller. Other people have reported wearing underwear under these successfully. - Hanging them to dry means that they aren't drying properly. I had hung some to dry but I'd also dried them in the dryer. Either way seemed fine, the dryer is faster but I had started hanging them more often because I was afraid that using the dryer might be why they aren't lasting as long. - other concerns: perhaps it is that I am female and sometimes have discharge and that clogs the filter however, they seemed to last longer when I first wore them than they do now. perhaps I'm not supposed to use baking soda for washing, the website claims you can use it to wash them, if that isn't the case then how come they recommend it and how can I wash them otherwise? perhaps these only filter certain types of fart odors but not others, I feel like the underwear I bought a month ago mostly work but in cases where I occasionally have more offensive types of gas like sulfur smell they seem to not be working properly. But, this didn't seem to be a problem with the first packs of underwear I ordered. So, my conclusion is that while these underwear do work, I do believe that they have changed the product (possibly to make them more affordable to produce so they can make more money) making them with either a more inferior fabric and/or making the carbon/charcoal filter thinner. I am ordering another pair just to test out the difference between briefs since those are the kind I normally buy and I think they work better for my body shape. However, I don't think that my recent unhappy experience with these are due to size or fit since I have tried several of these over the last few years both types and from both Amazon and the official website. I have tried it from both only because Amazon ships way faster and if I feel the effectiveness of a pair is wearing out then I might need another pair quite quickly. My suggestion to the company would be to increase the effectiveness of this product by reverting back to the original design. The only other factor that I can think of that would affect this is the frequency of use. While occasionally I have ordered a 3 pack directly from the website I cannot always afford to do that and one pair might last me a month or less. I suggest that they lower the price of these underwear so I can buy more and be able to switch between them more often. Think about the normal cost of underwear, I could get enough underwear for a week for less than $10. For these I have to pay three or four times that much for one pair. I am paying for these because I really need them but I don't see how I can continue to be a customer when the price is so high and the returns on my investment are so low.

It works!! I purchased cheaper ones, but they did not work and were a waste of money. This pair is expensive, but now I am free from embarrassment, which is priceless. I have not washed this yet. I use panty liners inside to wear this a little longer since I have to handwash. I hope this pair works even after many washes.

These have been a godsend in dealing with a huge stressor in my work life. For all those of us with GI problems: Chrohn's.disease-.-IBS etc. Takes care of 80% of the malodorous symptoms, eliminating them 100% if sitting directly on them.. Have 35" hips and normally wear low-rise undies being short waisted and the xs fit perfectly (size 0-2)'. I had to guess as there is no real size chart offered but decided on an xs based on a helpful reviewer who said a medium fit her perfectly and she is a size 8' Thank God for inventors and loving spouses. Don't feel so alone in the world as it's obviously a common problem if they have special undies for people like us. Getting on a plane tomorrow with a long flight ahead and know I can be comfortable and not offending others. Recommended.

While this product looks well made, it would probably be more appropriate for smaller hip sizes. It comes down way too low in the larger sizes. Exchanging for the hip huggers.

I like them because they work! I got a size large and I wear about a 10/12. I wear a medium sometimes a large and I weigh 145 and I'm 5 ft r. I couldnt smell anything! Snug around butt witch is good. Use panty liner for less frequent washing. Only issue ot was tight at top of leg. Kinda bulky but not noticeable. Soft. And they flipping work!! If they werent 42$ i wold buy more!! Can spend night with my man!!

Worth every penny, these underwear do exactly as advertisers promise! They are comfortable, stylish and are nothing short of a miracle at restoring my confidence in public! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a product of this nature. Amazon, you simply MUST expand your variety of Shreddies underwear to include the full brief and include the white and nude colour selections...PLEASE! I will definitely buy the woman's full brief in either white or nude to wear under summer dresses.

I bought these but unfortunately the sizing doesn't suit me - it is too small to cover my butt (pardon my French) but also gapes at the back. I can't really rate them properly as I don't think they function 'optimally' when the aren't a close fit. Otherwise they are of a soft material and aren't bulky or embarrassing. They can only be hand washed in baking soda which would make me question how clean you can get them as you can't even use mild detergent (the type used for bras or delicates) as the ingredients would reduce the effectiveness of the charcoal panels.
