The Last Show with David Cooper · Smart Underwear To Measure Your Farts · 13 Mar 2026 podcast

In fact, very few people have ever quit because it's uncomfortable.

People quit because they forget about it.

Then they wear it into the ocean, for example.

So it's so comfortable, people forget about it.

It sits there adjacent to the perineum and it measures the gas present in flatus.

And what's really interesting is that farts are composed primarily of gut microbial metabolites, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

And we measure the hydrogen present in the fart.

So if you're farting a lot, your microbes are very active.

If you're not farting a lot, they're not very active.

I think you nailed it.

You don't want overactive microbes.

Fiber is really good and it increases microbial activity.

But our question is, what if you could eat a healthy high fiber diet without experiencing excess intestinal gas?

And we think, you know, people will be able to eat healthier if that's the case.

But right now we just don't know how to do that.

In our paper, we found 32 times a day was average.

I don't know if that's going to maintain over the entire US population, but I can tell you like a secret right now in our study, more than 100 people have completed it and the average is 38 right now.
