How Can You Hold in a Fart or Do It Quietly?

Tighten your butt checks

Clenching your butt cheeks tightly together can prevent gas from passing through because there is no space for it to escape from. Simply keeping your anus tight and holding it. This method can be painful and if you loosen your butt, there is a chance of the fart coming out. Keep in mind that if the first urge to fart passes, the urge will return and the fart will most likely be more forceful than the original.

Improve your posture

Standing up straight when you feel the urge to fart can help give the gas in your body more room to move without actually letting it out. Raise your head as high as you can lift it and keep your posture erect and the urge to fart should leave you, without actually leaving you.

Shift in your seat

When you are sitting and you feel the urge to fart, you can try to slowly shift from one butt cheek to the other. This method takes a bit of practice because it can often be obvious. The back and forth motion, however, can reduce your urge to fart or make it less noisy if it does escape. 

Or you can lean in your chair. Place your hands on the arms of the chair and lean forward slightly so that your weight is on your toes. This will cause you to lift your butt off the chair slightly which in turn can eliminate the urge to fart.

Change your position

You don't want to make any quick changes to your position but slowly shifting from standing to sitting, or vice versa can help move the gas to another part of your body. If you are unable to change your position from sitting to standing, try shifting from side to side slowly. 

Try to lay down

While this isn't always appropriate, if you're by yourself, lie down. How to hold in a fart isn't necessary when your alone, but this can be a way to practice in case you are out in public with the urge to fart. Trying laying down or sprawling out on your couch and hold in your fart naturally so you know how to be prepared for when you are out with your friends.

Release slowly

Letting out your fart quickly will only make the fart come out louder. Slowly releasing your farts will reduce the noise that goes along with it. Take a deep breath in while you tighten or squeeze your abdomen, then exhale slowly as you let the fart out.

Make a noise

One way to hide the noise of your fart is to try and cover it up with another noise. Sneezing, coughing, talking loudly on your phone or turning up some music can all be used to help hide the noise as you release gas.

Walk and release

One of the oldest tricks to use when farting is to walk as you do it. Walking while farting means that the sound and smell won't linger around you as you do it, so it is less suspicious. If possible, try to walk into another room that isn't occupied so you can release the rest of your fart with ease.

Go to another room

If you are able to leave the current room you are in when you get the urge to fart, do so. You can use one of methods of how to hold in a fart methods above until you are able to get to an empty room and then just release for fart without the worry of anyone being around to witness what you are doing.
