From a US patent for a flat­u­lence deodor­ising pad that sits in your underwear (in, the patent help­fully informs us, “the anal area”).

The back­ground notes make for com­pelling reading (the charcoal cloth of which the pad is made was ori­ginally developed to defend sol­diers against chemical warfare), but I par­tic­u­larly like the idea that some­where there’s an illus­trator whose spe­cialty is the infographics of the fart.
