The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. Accordingly, certain aspects of the present invention are directed to providing filter underwear (also known as underpants) that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel that is removable from the underwear.

Accordingly, after at least one use (i.e., a time of wearing the underwear system), the adsorbent sleeve can be removed from the accommodating pocket, and therefore the underwear, whereby the adsorbent sleeve can be washed, dried, and reinserted in the accommodating pocket for another underwear use.
