Who Knew?

This thread made me laugh out loud and reminded me of the much-missed Sir Terry Wogan. The Togmeister often used to say that trapped wind wasn't a problem, it was when it escaped that the real trouble started!

Well, you learn something new everyday! Anyone know if they're worth buying?

A quote from the Pinkpantaloon website:
Exquisitely crafted underwear for gentlemen who like to stand out from the crowd. presumably because they aren't wearing their trousers

They should be given free with every WI subscription. ?????

To borrow an overused adjective from the DM, that was hilarious.

It's when a single one lasts across the whole length of the pub floor.

Might get some for my teacher daughter for Xmas. She can get a bit notorious for it

Because you would never guess what the second chap along is doing would you?

(That from their website, "how to stand whilst farting for most effective use of the pants"

Not heard that daisyboots but I’ve heard them referred to as ‘trollies’ in the past

janeainsworth I don't think Kellogs would have much claim because the word 'shreddies' has been used fir a long time to mean underpants. He is exmilitary and has always called them shreddies (or sometimes grundies).

Great thread, ??

Oh that brightened my day!!!

well you learn something new every day! I'm fascinated by the thought of those knickers. Anyone out there tried them and do they work?!!!!

It's not about the knickers but it's a rather funny youtube item on the subject - have fun... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQzp2OR9eW4

jo Yes it shouldn’t be assumed that letting go is always under the control of the perpetrator

Sadly I've reached an age when 'stepping away' can be enough to make me let one go! And one can't always 'step away'. It's at times like those I wish I'd been more diligent with my pelvic floor exercises!
I remember my FIL used to walk along accompanied by little popping sounds which my children found hilarious. Now I've turned into him!

Yes I think I’d be grossed out too Gabriella

I saw the ad in Oct issue of Woman and Home and agree that it's not in itself funny (they just look like swim trunks) but in certain contexts, vould be.
I stopped going to a particular WI as a number of ladies were prone to 'letting loose' when we were seated, listening to a guest speaker.
After sitting in the row behind a perpetrator once too often, I decided it wasn't for me.

Gabriella I’m afraid you’ve missed the point.
Of course knickers in themselves are rarely amusing.
They are only amusing in certain contexts, for example Katherine Whitehorn’s time-honoured advice about what to do if your knickers fall down at a cocktail party (step out of them as unobtrusively as possible, walk away, and pretend they’re nothing to do with you).
What I found amusing about the advert in the M6 female toilets was that the fart-busting knickers had the same name as a well-known breakfast cereal, which as annsixty pointed out, conjures up a stereotypical image of a curly-permed nanna busily occupied knitting knickers.

Some very clever marketing there, but I’m surprised that Kellogg’s haven’t spotted it and taken legal action.

Mamma66 you had me laughing out loud ... so sorry for those that don't find it amusing, but each to his own! ?

Thanks to everyone for some much-needed laughter and smiles.

I know this will sound prim, but farting in company is one thing that REALLY offends me. I detest breathing in gas that only moments ago was in the perpetrators bowels.
Everyone needs to release gas, but some are just too lazy to step away - and slob enough to find it funny. It is not funny and is disgusting.

I don't actually think they're funny, either the knickers or farts.
