Wacky products like fart-absorbing pads, inflatable bra inserts, and disposable underwear just go to show you that there really is a market out there for anything.
No one knows that better than Kim Olenicoff, founder of Solutions That Stick Inc., a Southern California-based company that has carved out a niche selling weird, offbeat products that solve common problems.
Olenicoff is the proud creator of best-selling gems like Subtle Butt â a small strip of activated carbon fabric with an antimicrobial layer that absorbs the stench of farts when placed inside underwear â and Yoobies, inflatable inserts for bras that give the girls a quick lift. Now, she is lending a helping hand to fellow innovators who want consumers to get wind of their own zany products.
Subtle Butt, for instance, was born while she was on a diving trip in Mexico and her traveling companions were feeling extra gassy.
After a weekend of Mexican food and beer, the airplane ride back home just stank. The flight attendants were running away from us. That's when I knew there had to be a solution, some way to absorb the smell of farts, Olenicoff recalled.
