UNDERPANTS NEUTRALISE
FLATULENCE
A Japanese textile company has
developed a range of underwear which
it said prevents unwelcome odours.
The underwear is manufactured with
niff-absorbing ceramic particles in the
material fibres and claims to neutralise
the smell of flatulence. The company’s
range has now expanded to 22 items,
including socks that prevent feet from
smelling and tshirts that mask the whiff
of sweaty armpits.
