Does lighting a match after passing and real stinker really work. I'm on medication that makes me pass the worst smelling gas and feases. Will lighting a match in the bathroom after I'm through help with the stench? If so, what's the science behind it?

Light a Match

No, it will make no noticeable effect. I think the idea is that the gases are inflammable, so you can burn them away. However, only the tiny proportion that happens to pass into the flame will be burnt, leaving the rest untouched - unless you either use a large flame-thrower to fill the room with flame, or the proportion of gas in the room is so high it will propagate a flame through the air - in which case the room will explode. (In practice the proportion of gas would never get that high.)

Isn't it the sulfur smell that masks/neutralizes the odor of the gas?

Here is what I can tell you.I fucking stink.It wasn't a problem when I lived alone but my fiancé moved in with me and my kids have one bathroom and myself and her have the one attached to our bedroom.If I take a dump, it stinks up that bathroom and our bedroom, thats the entire upstairs. it flows down the stairs and stinks up the two bedrooms there and wafts into the front room.I tried the match trick when she first moved in.It works to some degree. you smell the sulfur strongly and it helps. It only really helps if you have to run in there for a minute to do something and then you smell sulfur and shit.The best thing we came across is this aerosol that sits in a holder and is on a timer. every 12 minutes or so it goes off on its own and smells like oranges. That helps a hell of a lot. the other thing is candles. She being a she has a huge collection of candles that shes always adding too. There is a couple of them in the bathroom on the back of the toilet and some matches. I shit, I light a candle and I shut the bathroom door. You cant go too far when you do this since there is now a candle burning. after about ten minutes I open the door and blow it out and its bearable in about a half hour total.Of course I still have to keep the door shut because if I don't my cat tears the dog shit out of a entire roll of toilet paper and i get to spend 20 minutes picking up shredded to finer then a confetti cut paper shredder is capable of making toilet paper.Should you find a better method then this, post it in here my fiancé would thank you.

I have found that just lighting the matches right after you take a dump just makes it smell like someone lit matches mixed with shit!I spray the fabreeze air neutralizer and close the bathroom door with the bathroom fan running…My good friend always takes a crap with the door open. I can’t tell you how many conversations we have had while he was taking a crap down the hall from his living room…..How many people take a crap with the door open……especially when their significant other or friends are there…?
