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”.

M&S launches new Too Good To Go partnership – with NINE Greater Manchester stores signed up
Emily Sergeant
M&S has finally decided to partner with food waste charity, Too Good To Go.
As of yesterday, a total of 350 M&S stores across the UK – including nine major sites in Greater Manchester – now offer new Too Good To Go ‘Surprise Bags’ that are made up of surplus bakery goodies, giving customers the chance to collect quality food at a reduced price at the end of the day directly from in-store bakeries.
The launch follows a trial in a select number of UK stores, and the Surprise Bags will include bakery treats such as pastries, cookies, and fresh bread.
The partnership with Too Good To Go is the latest move in M&S Food’s work to reduce surplus food and ensure good food doesn’t go to waste.
Greater Manchester stores that will be taking part in the new Too Good To Go partnership include Manchester Market Street, Trafford Centre, Stockport, Spinningfields, Prestwich, Wigan Robin, Bolton Middlebrook, Bury The Rock, and Ashton Moss.
Each of the Surprise Bags will include three to four bakery products to a minimum retail price of £10.20 for just £3.80.
Available Monday to Saturday, customers can order their Surprise Bags through the Too Good To Go app, and collect them one hour before their local store closes.
“It’s great to be involved in this new launch with Too Good To Go to help reduce food waste,” commented Chris Parker, who is the Store Manager at M&S Bolton Middlebrook.
“Our in-store bakeries are incredibly popular with customers, and at the end of the day, customers will now be able to order and collect surprise bags offering fantastic surplus bakery products at great value.
“By finding new ways to re-purpose surplus products, we’re helping ensure more food is enjoyed rather than wasted. This partnership is another positive step towards reaching our goal of halving food waste by 2030.”
