Gas Relief for Adults, Ends Odor & Sound, Flatulence Charcoal Underwear Helper. Flatulence Relief Pads. Odor Eliminator: Absorber, Deodorizer, Neutralizer, Filter, Gas and Bloating Relief P-5

What an item to review 🫣 lol but let me say that these puppies do work. Obviously I'm about to get very TMI here, but alas... I'm not sure if it's hygienically recommended or not, but I wore a sheet for an entire work shift on a particularly gassy day, and to my surprise, it lasted all day and not a single poot slipped through.For me, I found that the accordion method is not great though (had some seepage), so I just do the half fold on the larger ones as well. I did not find it uncomfortable but it is there of course. I've just ordered a second pack because I think these will continue to be a go-to for a gassy girl like me. I even felt a new sense of hope/relief for my future married life should I ever end up sharing my bed at night 🤭

Like the top reviewer so eloquently describes, although the IBS topic is embarrassing and discussed in hushed tones, the side effects for sufferers and their loved ones are real and can't usually be ignored. I've experienced excessive belching and flatulence (some days/weeks worse than others) for seven years and can't quite get a handle on the exact causes (SIBO? too much nickel in my diet? stress?) and am grateful I work from home so I can release all the gas at will (otherwise the pain is astonishing - IYKYK). Like that reviewer, my spouse is a saint! He says he doesn't care, and during the day I can use my natural room spray after the fact; but listen, even I don't like being awakened by the smell of my own farts on a bad night. However, my main impetus for a desperate search for something that might prevent odors was an upcoming cruise with girlfriends where I would be sharing a cabin. I knew I would be mortified about inadvertently stinking up the room in my sleep. trying a couple of different search words (which in itself was embarrassing), I quickly stumbled across DiscreetZ and figured they were worth a try. I did some home testing in advance of my trip and declared them a solid success! As recommended, I pleated the small round pad and crammed it between my butt cheeks. It falls out if you toss and turn like I do, but fortunately I’m a thong wearer so I put one on to secure the pad. And, actually, years of being familiar with dental floss in my butt crack means I don’t feel any discomfort from DiscreetZ. If you do, then get over it (or get used to it), I say. As an added measure I wear a pair of thin stretchy boy shorts so if it does fall out at least it’s not rolling around in the bed with me. So, I went on the trip confident that my girlfriend would have one less reason to push me over the balcony and I was 100% right. Because these are expensive, I try to get multiple uses out of them (since my expulsions are just gas), using a baggie for storage and, of course, washing my hands thoroughly after handling. I only wear one at home if I predict I'm going to have a "bad" night but sometimes I'll wake up from discomfort and grab one out of my bedside drawer, holding it in place at the opportune moment, sparing us both. I have not yet tried using them during the day - just make sure you’re wearing tight pants or underwear in case it dislodges. It’s possible that a green pad falling onto the floor between your legs MIGHT be more embarrassing than your fart!

The secret I have found to using this product is positioning it correctly for your body shape. That can be very tricky since the pad can't be placed too far forward or too far back as gas and noise will escape. Once placed properly, it needs to be repositioned if you are moving around a lot. Since I have horrible flatulence, I use the circular and rectangular pads together. I usually need to reposition 1-2 times and remember to remove before I use the bathroom. After all this, I still think it's worth it as it totally removes odor and pretty much muffles the sound.

I've committed to several packs of these hoping some variation of usage would help me with my problem, but no dice. I'm afraid these are completely useless, at least for me. If they've actually worked for anybody else, I'm glad. But I don't see how they could since gas does not pass through them. It always finds its way around them and repulses all surrounding folk. Not one single time have I worn them with a positive result.

Due to a condition that I have that even causes gas when I drink cold water, this product gives me assurance that there will not be an odor. I have been using it with the tuck method. So far, it has worked very well, but I must remember when I go to the restroom to remove it.

This product works as well as can be expected...it does take some getting use to. The pads must be slightly inserted in the anal cavity to work, & you have to remember to remove it prior to using the restroom, & to reinsert it after. I will purchase again.
