A US lingerie company have created pants designed to conceal the smell of farts.Under-Ease pants have an in-built multi-layered, replaceable filter, made of felt, charcoal and fibreglass wool to absorb odour.The underpants are made from air-tight fabric and are completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs to prevent any gas escaping. Under-Tec inventor Buck Weimer said: "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."The pants are machine washable and the filters can last as long as several months, depending on the frequency of use and laundering.The pants are available at www.under-tec.com, in a range of sizes and cost between £12 and £15.
