It seems as though there’s an invention to solve every problem nowadays – but we reckon this one could potentially be a lifesaver for some couples out there.
If you’re looking for a fart-free night, or at least just free of that unpleasant smell, then you’ll no doubt be thrilled to hear that Shreddies – the company behind the game-changing anti-flatulence underwear – has recently announced its latest innovation.
Bedding that claims to be “flatulence filtering”.
Shreddies’ carbon undersheet and duvet cover filter have carbon panels built in to trap the foul fart smell, which will not only help people with bad wind, but those they sleep next to as well.
According to the company, The Flatulence Filtering Duvet Cover – which will set you back £180 – includes an inbuilt carbon panel to trap flatulence gases before they escape through your duvet, and all you need to do to reap the benefits of the innovation is simply insert your own duvet into the cover and your gas will be discreetly filtered all night long.

A spokesperson for Shreddies revealed that both products “use the same technology found in our award winning underwear” and that “the highly porous carbon acts as an adsorbent which attracts and traps flatulence odours and is simply reactivated when washed”.
They continued: “These brand new products are the latest in a long line of successful odour eliminating products that the Shreddies brand is known for.”

So, why might flatulence-filtering be the key to a good night’s sleep then?
Well, according to Shreddies, while the average person passes gas 14 to 20 times per day, many people experience excessive flatulence at night when they’re lying down due to the gas ‘pools’ inside the colon coming out in powerful bursts after dark, rather than little by little throughout the day.
And, of course, Shreddies also understands from speaking to its customers that “bad flatulence at night can drive spouses from their marital bed”.
Opening date finally confirmed for new Uniqlo store at the Trafford Centre
Emily Sergeant
Uniqlo is preparing to open its second store in Greater Manchester, and the official launch date has finally been confirmed.
The popular Japanese high street fashion retailer currently operates 24 stores in the UK, with its first British store having opened its doors all the way back in 2001, and its first European flagship store opening on Oxford Street in London in 2007 – but it was revealed earlier this year in April that Manchester was set to get a second helping.
Uniqlo announced that it would be opening its second Greater Manchester inside the Trafford Centre this autumn, following the huge success of its city centre store opening on Market Street in 2019.
The Trafford Centre store is set to make Manchester the first location outside of London to have two Uniqlo stores.
When news broke that the hoardings had officially gone up inside the shopping centre, elated shoppers raced to the comments to say things like: “No way! I’ve been waiting years for this.”

“Uniqlo in Trafford Centre would be a dream come true,” another person said on Instagram, while a third added: “I will never have to step foot on Market Street again,” and plenty others chimed in with comments like ‘finally’ and ‘can’t wait’.
And now, we officially have an opening date to share with you.
Uniqlo will open in the Trafford Centre for the first time on Thursday 15 October, with plenty of events happening across its extended opening weekend.
Traditional Japanese Taiko drumming performances will be happening throughout the day on Thursday 15 and Saturday 17 October, while the first 300 customers to spend over £69.90 in store on the Thursday (15 October) will get a special Uniqlo Manchester goody bag.
Uniqlo’s arrival at the Trafford Centre follows the opening of several other high-profile stores in recent months, like Urban Outfitters, White Company, Stradivarius, and many more.
