It sounds futuristic
No, it just sounds stupid.
If you knew what was good for you you’d jump at the opportunity to have the non-pooped looking underpants for just $9.99/month! (predictive fart data still sold to healthcare providers).
Wearable tech. It comes up for a while and goes away.

In home settings there will be be too may inoperability issues.
