“NEW YORK, - A few months ago we featured a story about Buck Weimer who had invented a pair of underwear with a flatulence filter inside. Now it seems Mr. Weimer has had a lot of success for his invention. The underwear has the motto "Wear them for the ones you love," however, Weimer says it is a serious medical product. "While we appreciate the humor - and get a lot of that - we recognize that it's a medical product, and it's for people in need. We believe we're certainly fulfilling a service here," Weimer concluded.
