Although Hubbster may sometimes often complain about the excessive time I  seem to spend on facebook and youtube, checking and sending emails, working on the computer, what he fails to realise is that in so doing, I am acquiring a wealth of indispensible knowledge.

For example last night, whilst wasting time on Facebook networking, I came across this very interesting status update written by a friend.

Odour Eaters for your shoes. Why has nobody invented undies with a secret pocket in the rear for an Odour Eater??? I’m pretty sure the smelly trump situation could be eradicated?! Love the noise. Hate the smell.

Pure genius!  Why had I never pondered this issue in more detail? I am after all a lover of all weird and wonderful underwear, from sexy corsets, penis enhancing jocks, or bras that come off with the clap of the hands.

But odour eating pants?  There is definitely a HUGE market for this kind of garment, (and that’s just in my house!)  She was set to make millions from this invention surely?

However, reading further down the list of hilarious replies, I soon discovered that there are in fact already flatulence pants on the market, and not only for men (as we all know how bad they smell, especially after a night on the beer) but also for women.

(If only I’d known about these during pregnancy ~ perhaps my dog wouldn’t have gone blind!)

Shreddies are equipped with a fart-catching carbon panel which absorbs the odour, and yes, it is the same activated carbon cloth used in chemical warfare suits!

(Just incase your wondering, if anyone should need them reviewed, I think I could give them a good work out!)

The only thing that I don’t really like about the product is the name.  Shreddies.  To me, it sounds like a fart-slicing g-string, rather than a smelly wind filtering pair of knickers.

I think I’d prefer something a little more provocative.

As one person commented on the facebook status, what about ‘Trump-Munchers?’

I would love to hear your suggestions on what this flatulance filtering underwear should be called.
