Fart Smarter: Do’s and Don’ts for Using Your Shreddies

So, you’ve invested in a pair of Shreddies fart-filtering underwear. Congrats on taking control of those sneaky toots! You’ve made a great call. But to get the absolute most bang for your buck, there are a few do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. Here’s your guide to using your Shreddies right so you can fart freely and fearlessly.

Do: Size Properly for the Perfect Fit

First things first: fit matters. Shreddies are designed to hug your body snugly so that every bit of air gets filtered through our patented Zorflex® carbon fabric. If they’re too loose, you might get some sneaky gas slipping out the sides (and nobody wants that). Too tight, and you’re just uncomfortable, which isn’t the vibe we’re going for.

Sticking to your usual size is usually a safe bet, but if you’re between sizes or feeling a bit bloated, consider sizing up just a smidge. A well-fitted pair ensures the filter does its job without any “leaks” in the system.

Don’t: Wear Your Shreddies Wrong

Shreddies fart-filtering underwear works best when the air passes through the filter built into the rear panel. That means you’ve gotta give those toots a clear path. If you’re wearing your Shreddies all bunched up or twisted (no judgment — we’ve all thrown them on in a hurry), the gas might sneak out the sides instead of hitting the filter.

So smooth ‘em out, make sure the back panel is sitting right betwixt your cheeks, and let the magic happen. It’s all about giving that carbon fabric the chance to trap those odors like a pro.

Do: Experiment with Sitting vs. Standing

Let’s talk about the art of the fart. Yes, there’s a bit of finesse to it. When you’re standing, gravity helps direct the airflow through the filter, so it’s usually smooth sailing. (Though keeping your legs together will help make it even more odor-proof.)

But when you’re sitting, especially if you’re slouched or your legs are crossed, you might accidentally block the filter’s sweet spot. So try sitting up straight with your knees together. Experiment with shifting your weight a bit to give your Shreddies room to do their thing.

It might take a little trial and error to find your perfect farting posture (we won’t tell anyone you practiced), but once you do, you’ll be unstoppable, whether you’re at the office or binge-watching Netflix on the couch.

Don’t: Wear Them Over Other Underwear

This one’s a sneaky mistake some folks make. Layering Shreddies over another pair of undies may seem like extra protection, but it can actually mess with the filter’s effectiveness. Other fabrics can trap gas or redirect it away from the filter, leaving you less secure than you’d hoped. Wear your Shreddies solo to let them do their thing without interference.

Do: Store Them Properly Between Uses

When you’re not rocking your Shreddies, give them a little TLC. Store them in a dry, breathable spot—think a drawer or laundry basket with some airflow. Don’t stuff them into a damp gym bag or a plastic container where moisture can linger. That can mess with the carbon fabric over time. Keeping them fresh between wears ensures they’re ready to go whenever you need them.

Don’t: Ignore the Washing Instructions

Laundry is rarely the most exciting part of your day. But if you want your Shreddies to keep performing like champs, you’ve gotta treat them right. Wash your fart-filtering underwear in cold or warm water with a gentle detergent (no fabric softeners, please — they can clog the carbon pores). And whatever you do, don’t toss them in the dryer on high heat. Instead, air drying is always best to keep the filter in tip-top shape.

Our carbon panels are built into the underwear for lasting performance (up to 50 washes if you follow the rules), so don’t sabotage your investment with a careless laundry sesh.

Don’t: Use Harsh Chemicals or Bleach

Similar to the above, you don’t want to use harsh chemicals or bleach on your Shreddies. Those can degrade the filter and reduce its odor-trapping powers. Stick to mild detergents and spot-clean with care if needed. Your Shreddies are built to last, but they’re not invincible against a chemical attack. Be gentle, and they’ll be your friend for years to come.

Do: Pair with Loose Outer Layers for Best Results

Tight jeans or leggings might look fire, but they can sometimes compress the filter area and limit airflow. For the best performance, try pairing your Shreddies with looser pants or skirts, especially on high-risk days (like after chili night). A little extra room lets the filter breathe without being squished. You’ll still look good, and you’ll feel even better knowing your secret weapon is firing on all cylinders.

Do: Wear Them Confidently (and Often!)

You didn’t buy these to let them sit in your drawer, right? Wear your Shreddies whenever you need that extra layer of confidence. Whether it’s a long flight, a first date, or a bean-heavy family barbecue, Shreddies is always ready to help.

The more you wear your fart-filtering underwear, the easier it will be. Plus, they’re comfy enough for everyday wear, so why not make them your go-to? The filter’s built right in, so there’s no extra hassle. Just slip them on and forget your worries (and your odors).

Don’t: Fall for the “Removable Pad” Gimmick

Speaking of hassle, let’s take a quick detour to throw some shade where it’s due. Some brands try to sell you on their “removable pad” as a feature. But here’s the thing: a removable pad means there’s a higher chance of gaps, slippage, or misalignment. That’s a one-way ticket to unwanted odors escaping into the wild.

With Shreddies, our filter is seamlessly integrated into the underwear itself, making it easy to keep it exactly where it needs to be. No gaps, no slips, just odor-free confidence. We’ve spent years perfecting the design to ensure maximum efficiency, and we know it works. Built-in is best, end of story.

Do: Trust the Process (and the Science)

Our carbon fabric isn’t just some fancy gimmick. It’s science you can rely on. It adsorbs odors like a champ, neutralizing those pesky hydrogen sulfide molecules that make farts smell like, well, farts.

But for your Shreddies to really to really work, you’ve gotta trust the process. Follow these tips, wear them right, and let Shreddies handle the rest. If something feels off, double-check your sizing or positioning before you start doubting the tech. Trust us, Shreddies has your back (and your backside) covered.

Final Toots (Uh, Thoughts)

You’ve invested in Shreddies because you want to live life without the stink. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can maximize their value and keep those awkward moments at bay. From proper sizing to careful washing, it’s all about giving your Shreddies the chance to shine.

So go ahead – suit up and enjoy your new fart-free life. The future is now.
