Great for a long plane trip
These are really great, I've found mine especially useful when having to spend hours standing next to someone (woodshop class), when going to a crowded fitness center during chili/beansoup season, and especially for a long flight (I wish the other passengers had them, ha ha).It's really nice to have these, I'm glad they exist (though it would be nice if they were cheaper, and hand washing in soda is a small hassle).

Didn't work! I would give no stars if I could.
They don't work. Ive purchased multiple pairs in different sizes. None of them worked. A weaker person would feel mortified and never go out again. I tried everything even wearing multiple pair at once. But the new ones I bought still didn't work I stood like I was instructed to and sat like I was supposed to and washed as I was supposed to they do not help at all it is always of money and as a sufferer of IBS it is frustrating and I feel scammed. I just started a job and I was hoping that these would be helpful but so many people have made snide comments about me smelling bad the worst thing is I can't smell for myself so I rely on others and the reaction is volatile at times. If I was insecure about myself I I would probably never go out again because of this so if you have low self-esteem or are subconscious about your IBS or any other reason for flatulence do not buy.

awesome!
This is awesome! I eat all the foods that give you gas - every single one of 'em. Or at least all the healthy ones: beans, greens, broccoli, cauliflower, etc etc. Avoiding them is counterproductive and annoying, so I figured I'd give these a try: they are AWESOME! As far as fit - typical British underwear fit - it's like they haven't discovered modern cuts and materials - awful, especially bad if you have any sort of bum (they're super high waisted in the front and barely cover in the back), but they work, so.... I'll forgive them. In terms of size itself: I think you can just go with your US size (if you are a US M, buy M), that's what I did and they are nowhere near snug, they are 'there'. They say they may shrink a bit after wash, so I think your size is the right size. I have not yet washed them, I'll report if they stop working after I do - I'll be extremely sad. (It's obviously too expensive for single use! It's almost too expensive period - but... worth it if they keep working! :)

These work!!
I've been using Shreddies for a couple years and they work great, especially when they're brand new. I have noticed a decrease in effectiveness with each subsequent washing (as recommended in soda crystals aka Sodium Carbonate, cold water, gentle cycle or hand washing; line or hang drying).I wear over disposable underwear due to incontinence caused by colorectal cancer, so I don't wash until absolutely needed.I've found that I need to buy them a little small, otherwise they don't work for me. The odor needs to be "locked in" by snugness around the legs and waist. If the Shreddies are nice and comfy, they won't be as effective.Several folks have mentioned wanting colors other than black, and multi-packs. If you order directly from the company in the U.K., you can order in white or beige as well as black, and in multi-packs of 3 and maybe even 6 (it's been awhile since I ordered mine). With the current exchange rate of GBP (pounds sterling), it might even be cheaper to get them from overseas! You can find their website online.As a final note, due to my cancer I have no sphincter control so don't even know when I've had a BM, and I can tell you that I've come home with a full diaper of doo-doo, but with Shreddies I've had no idea I'd even had an accident. Before I found them I couldn't leave the house or be around anyone other than immediate family, and even they weren't too thrilled with my presence. I have so much more confidence and a brighter outlook since discovering Shreddies. As long as I can afford to, I will buy them at any price!

Size changed. Both mediums
I’m disappointed that the size was so different than the ones I have bought for years. These are both medium. The top one was the older pair I bought. The new one rides higher on waist and the crotch hangs lower . Before they changed the design I would have given them a five star. I didn’t return them because I had already worn them.

No longer a recluse
Update on review: After having these for more than a month I can find no diminution in effectiveness. I had to take a long flight just a few days after receiving these. I had the worst most flatulence ever and these dissolved it. Not a whiff of odor. I wear them over underwear and only when I'm going to be around people, to make them last. [I live alone.] I wash them in cold water with a pinch of baking soda and a good swish, rinse in cold running water, pat dry in a towel [never wring] and then hang indoors to finish drying. I would have become a recluse without these. They're worth every penny and I plan to lay in a stock in case Shreddies runs out of my size.Many months later I am still satisfied. I don't know what I would do without Shreddies since there's nothing like them. What with the plague I've been buying as many pairs as I can afford since I can't go out or have company without them.

THEY WORK!
I bought these because every time that I fly I get super gassy. It is quite painful to hold it in and going to the restroom every ten minutes is annoying. Gas X doesn’t even help. I read the reviews of this product and decided to give them a go. Once I got through security I went to the restroom to put them on. Do not wear them through TSA or you will get a pat-down (I forgot on The way home). Sure enough 2 hours in to my 10 1/2 hour flight GAS! I let it rip and not a scent! Plus, the underwear helped muffle the noise and, with the airplane noise, nobody could hear it. I was cutting the cheese all the way to Paris and was completely comfortable as were the unassuming passengers next to me! I would recommend wearing them over you regular undies and don’t wear tight pants because it appears like a big ol pad. Well worth the money!!
