A funny but, in extreme cases, useful gadget

If you need a gift for a friend or your partner, this could be the right choice. And you’ll be sure nobody else will do the same.

It’s FartVac, a little air pump that promises to reduce the smell of farts thanks to a carbon filter. Presented as the world’s first fart vacuum and filtering system, FartVac, as described on the product site, using a hand-activated air pump and an activated carbon filter, reduces the stench of flatulence.

You can now fart without shame. No more pain while fighting nature and holding in gas.

Typically, farts are trapped by our clothing and don’t escape the fibers for about 5 seconds. This is when Fartvac can remove and filter them. Fartvac removes the fart gas under clothing and filters it with activated carbon technology.

Since NASA uses activated carbon for odor and impurification filtration, the technology is reliable. That said, there is no guarantee that Fartvac will remove all the smell from your gas. If people complain of your odor despite your use of the Fartvac, they recommend a higher-fiber diet and an avoidance of meat and dairy.

However, one of the funniest things is maybe one of the FAQ questions on the site:

I got my Fartvac and tried to fart so hard that I pooped in my pants a little, can Fartvac help?

It is a critical life lesson to know when you cannot trust a fart, we’re sorry you had to learn it the hard way. Fartvac only filters gas farts, we cannot help filter the smell from poop in your pants in any way. You need a new pair of underwear, pants, and a good shower.

And the other is the video tutorial in which a guy shows how to use FartVac with a real fart.

So how to use it?

Nothing complicated. You fart, then you pump but remember not to insert the nozzle up to your ass; it works just by putting it in your pants.
