The Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday, and the Red Wings are home to the Lightning on Thursday to begin their seasons.

Who said there is no such thing as the perfect gift?! Anti-Flatulence Bedsheets are now on sale.

The company Shreddies already sells fart-mitigating underwear. Now they’ve added two bedding products: An undersheet that your regular sheets go on top of and a “Flatulence Filtering Duvet Cover” to keep your nighttime emissions trapped.

Both options use the same technology as the underwear they sell. Carbon fibers absorb the flatulence, then neutralize it. A king size undersheet costs about $160, plus shipping. The duvet cover is $260. You can check them out at MyShreddies.com.
