Shreddies USA Flatulence Filtering Women's Hi-Waist Briefs, Black, L

Opening the box, I was expecting more because let's face it, this is an expensive pair of underwear. I was hoping it would have a better wrapping. Instead of a clear plastic box and a plain purple paper explaining this underwear. I took it out the box and it is hideous. It looked like an underwear with built in padding: like an overnight pad. The materials listed are modal jersey fabric sandwiching the "activated carbon cloth" for the middle which also makes up the rest of the underwear. Seriously for an expensive pair, why couldn't they use something else that's much more durable and breathable like I don't know- COTTON material? I am a vegan with ibs so I was desperate and succumbed to this. The reviews online with the videos on YouTube, heck! Even the reviews on here gave me hope that perhaps this is the answer to my prayers- well it's not! Bought two shreddies and I've worn each underwear the whole day and let me tell you. They didn't work. The scent of my flatus seeped through and in seconds reached my nose and those who were around me. Mind you, I was also taking chlorophyll and devrom pills so my flatus is supposed to be odorless. I had one of the worst stomach pain episode accompanied by gas and this test of odor was not passed by Shreddies, Chlorophyll, nor Devrom all taken together. After just one day each of the shreddies, because the makers did not use a good quality material and instead used something cheap, the Shreddies after one day had holes on the edge where it holds the activated carbon part to block the odor. The box says "the fabric remains 2-3 years providing the care instructions are followed correctly" , it's funny because it didn't even last a day and it's already falling apart. Seriously don't waste your time, this product is not worth it.

This product is working perfectly

This underwear has changed my life. Until I bought these Shreddies I could not eat anything except bread and water if I was going to be around another human being. People always stood a good distance away from me because of my unbelievable toxic gas. I will forever be grateful for the creation of these panties. I normally wear a size 7 but I bought the size large because I wear them over my normal panty. I hand wash in cold water with only baking soda.and hang them to dry till they are only damp and then put them in a dryer on low. There is some shrinkage as I suspected there would be. I am cautious with them because I can't imagine life without them now.

I found out they existed after reading a National Geographic Kids magazine with my son. Researched them and found them in Amazon. Got this product for my mother who has been suffering from flatulence since having chemo therapy,. She uses them on top of her regular panties. We recently went for a trip overseas, and she was thrilled to have them. Usually she is very embarrassed, and her condition was leading to her avoiding social situations. The panties are pricey, and sometimes the size you want is not available right the way. However, they are worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

I only use them at night so that my husband is still alive when I wake up. Sulfur gas is the worst and the odor lingers forever. However, they stopped working as well when I started washing them in the machine. I think that it caused small tears in the filter material. Before buying these I used to sleep in the guest room with a air purifier on many occasions.
