  Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
  Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
  This one is from last year.

  Do you know if they ever ended up making any of these? I’m struggling to really understand “non-adhesive adherence” as well as other parts of that abstract

    I have been chuckling like a dork at this particular patent since such things first became searchable online, and have never found any evidence of it being manufactured and marketed at all.

    The “non-adhesive adherence” is illustrated in the diagrams on the patent which you can see at the link. The inventor proposes “a facing of fluffy fibrous material” to provide the filtration and the adherence; basically this thing is the softer side of a velcro strip, bent in a loop with the fluff facing outward so it sticks to the inside of your buttcrack to hold itself in place and filter your farts through it.
