Flatulence Cushion Saves Chicago Woman's Career
HOUSTON, Aug 30, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Romayne B., an executive
assistant in a large Chicago company was causing severe distress to her
boss and coworkers.
She suffered from severe intestinal gas odor (flatulence) until she
found a filter Cushion that saved her career.
"I was diagnosed with colon cancer and rushed into surgery. After the
surgery, complications caused the doctors to go back in and remove over
one and one-half feet of my intestines. Now, I can't control my gas.
Everywhere I went: the doctor's office, church and especially my
office, it was embarrassing," said Romayne. It was so bad she
considered quitting her career.
Then one day she saw Regis and Kathie Lee on TV discussing a new
product called the Toot Trapper (now named the Flatulence Filter(tm)).
"It was a life saver," according to Romayne. "I take it everywhere."
The Flatulence Filter is a one-inch thick seat cushion impregnated with
activated charcoal and covered in a gray fabric. The manufacturer has
had great response to the product. In fact, they guarantee that it
immediately absorbs the odor or the customer gets her money returned.
"We give the customer three months to prove it works."
According to Wayne Story, President of UltraTech Products Inc., "Two
out of three cushions are ordered by women. They usually tell us that
it's for someone else. Often they say it's for a man. But when they
call back and order a second one, we find out it's really for them.
This problem is embarrassing for so many people that we are constantly
getting calls from customers who are worried that we might stop
producing the product."
UltraTech's biggest problem is getting the public to believe it's a
real product. When they first hear about the Flatulence Filter(tm) most
people think it's a joke. But it is very real. In fact, an independent
research group in Minneapolis tested the cushions as part of a
scientific study of flatulence. "The charcoal-lined cushion effectively
limits the escape of these sulfur-containing gases into the environment,
" chronicled Dr. F.L. Suarez and associates in 'GUT' a British medical
journal.
The cushion is only available mail order from UltraTech Products Inc.,
Houston, Texas at 1-800-316-8668 or from its web site at
flatulence-filter.com. For press contact, call Wayne Story,
