I’m thinking of buying some of these for my boyfriend for Christmas (more of a present to myself than him). I hate when he farts in bed, and it seems to be only smelling worse as he’s getting older.

Only thing is they are really expensive, so I don’t want to waste my money if they don’t work, if anyone knows any cheaper alternatives I’m all ears?

So anyone tried them? Do they work? And how long do they last? Do they only work for so many washes or will they last a long time?

He should try charcoal capsules, they help.

Is the airport device discreet or does it create a lump under the clothes?

There's probably a banana shape sticking out of the bottom...Confused

I remember reading Viz many years ago…in the ‘top tips’ column, something along the lines of….
Stick a polo up your marmite motorway and have minty fresh farts all day

I’m imagining the banana device might show if you were wearing tight clothing …

@TheBlahWitchProject Surely putting polo mints up there can’t be healthy? 😂

I'm not sure if they're exactly the same ones but Will Mellors kids got him some either last Christmas or Christmas before. He said they have a filter in. He posted video on Facebook with the lad who played johnny in Two pints lager.

He said they worked when he first put them on and his kids were running around trying to sniff his farts. But said after they were washed they màde no difference.

@Gwenhwyfar all wines contain sulphites unless they are sulphite free. Some organic wines are low sulphites but sulphites can occur in the winemaking process.

Basically if affected you'd need to switch to beer or spirits.

Hope this advice is helpful to anyone who, like me, has had an ongoing battle with their gut.

Mine is cyclical and not related to particular foods (it's either all food/none causing it or not having a problem). It's not always caused by food intolerances.

I bought some of these for my brother a couple of years ago as a joke and his girlfriend reported that they were surprisingly effective.

It does say only wash with soda crystals though, and I doubt he's bothered with that, so I don't know how long they'd last being washed 'normally'.

Hello my message Is probably too late, but I will add my experience for future buyers.
To be honest I bought 3 boxers for men and tested them, but the result was not here... I had so much hope but unfortunately I will not be the magic potion.
Tested between 2014 and 2016.
