What is it?

A range of flatulence-filtering underwear.

Pull the other one. No, really. It’s a serious product, using serious technology: the back of the undies contains a thin panel of Zorflex, which filters out noxious smells.

Zorflex? It’s a type of cloth made of activated carbon; it was originally developed for use in chemical warfare suits.

So it can handle a little hottie, then? Absolutely. In fact, the hottie – aka the “silent but deadly” – is its perfect match. Because until these undies incorporate noise-cancelling technology too, they can’t hope to disguise a ripper.

Verdict: The acid test was sitting on the sofa in front of the TV, drinking beer and parping. Not one word of complaint from the missus. Is this every bloke’s holy grail, or what?
