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.

First let me say that this product is in no way a joke. It is not for gag gifts and does not employ "strange marketing," as one reviewer suggested. It was designed to prevent embarrassment due to flatulence, and at that, it excels.I have suffered with severe flatulence most of my life, and of course, while I am asleep, I have no control over it. Many is the morning I've awoken to find the bedroom windows open and the ceiling fan going full blast. My long-suffering wife is supremely patient with me and an absolute angel, but there have been times when one might have classified this as tantamount to psychological abuse.I previously used a very different product to help with this and give her a little relief. It consisted of a pair of underpants with a carbon filter sewn into the seat. The material was semi-permeable, which was designed to force the flatus out through the filter. This was only partially effective, as gas could escape from the waistband and leg openings, but it was better than nothing.Recently, though, the company went out of business rather abruptly, and I was forced to seek an alternative. That's when I came across DiscreetZ and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did.DiscreetZ has completely eliminated the odor associated with my farts. My wife reports not one whiff in the week and a half that I have been using them so far, which is absolutely unprecedented. As a bonus, they have reduced the noise associated with passing gas to the point that she is usually unaware that anything has occurred. This has the added bonus of no longer requiring me to work to hold gas in while awake, which was difficult and painful. DiscreetZ is a little miracle, and I am only sorry I didn't find out about them sooner.I do use them on the "highest setting," as recommended by the manufacturer. This consists of a small, thin round pad folded in half and tucked against my anus, then one of the larger, rectangular pads folded three times to form a pleat and nestled in the fold of the round pad. Those whose gas is milder may find either one sufficient, but for me, both are required. Double-sided tape is included with the pads, to help hold them in place, but I have not found this to be necessary.The sensation of having something tucked between your cheeks is one that requires a bit of acclimation, but after a few days, I didn't even notice they were there. For anyone who may be considering purchasing DiscreetZ but wavering due to a sense of squeamishness, I would urge you to give them a try. I have rarely found any product that so perfectly fulfills its mission, and the relief from both odor and embarrassment (not to mention the guilt over what I've put my wife through), is well worth any minor discomfiture of this nature.The manufacturer is also gratifyingly responsive and helpful. I reached out with a question shortly after receivng the product, and had a reply from the company president within an hour, on a Saturday. That's rare customer service these days.In short, I can't recommend DiscreetZ highly enough. It is an extremely effective product that has been an absolute godsend for my wife and me. The topic may be one that few want to think about, let alone discuss, but it's time we grow up and be adult about this. I find it unfortunate that the highest-rated reviews concern using it as a filter for face masks. Obviously, if you buy a product, you can use it for whatever you'd like to, but when over 40% of the reviews concern a use other than the intended one, it makes me wonder whether people are taking this seriously. Believe me, if you suffer from a condition like mine, you should.
