Aussie mum discovers shocking surprise inside popular period underwear

In an age where convenience and innovation are at the forefront of consumer products, period underwear has become popular among many women seeking a more sustainable and comfortable option during their menstrual cycle.

However, a recent incident involving a Sydney mum and her purchase of Bonds period undies has raised eyebrows and concerns among consumers.


The mother, identified as Lisa, was expecting a simple, hygienic product when she purchased the $16 black boyleg undies designed for menstrual use.

To her horror, upon opening the package, she discovered what appeared to be brown, insect-like debris scattered inside the fabric.

The unsettling find was enough to prompt Lisa to share a video of the soiled undies online, accompanied by a very understandable reaction: 'What the f*** are these? I just opened a packet of period undies.'

The video quickly garnered attention, with social media users expressing disgust and concern.

Brownish particles and small creatures that seemed mixed in with the debris were visible, sparking a wave of comments from the online community.


'Get them out of your house now,' one person urged.

Another suggested, 'I’d be posting this on the Bonds page,' reflecting the sentiment of many others who viewed the post.

The situation escalated as speculation arose about the nature of the creatures.

One social media user suggested they might be termites, specifically 'silver bullet termites,' and recommended that Lisa call pest control immediately.

Bonds manufacture its products overseas, raising concerns about biosecurity risks. 'This is concerning with strict quarantine laws. I don’t recognise these bugs,' one user pointed out.

Due to the potential threat to Australia's ecosystem, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry was mentioned as the appropriate authority to contact, not just Bonds.


Meanwhile, other users shared their experiences and advice, including one who recalled a similar situation with an overseas knitwear brand that had inadvertently sent carpet beetles to customers.

In similar news, a mum was shocked to find a 'sinister' mud trail in her linen cupboard, initially uncertain of its origin.

After consulting with the community and pest control, it was confirmed that her house was infested with aggressive termites. You can read more about it here.

I'm thinking before posting, she should have notified bond's .

I hate when we read stories with no end result.

1. Did she contact Bonds or even the health commission.

2. What did it turn out to be ?

This was only half of a story .... no ending

As I said I would be contacting the appropriate people before posting .

Or did she put the marks there and made up the story just for something to post on line.

Sorry it's just that my daughters are always showing me post on tik tok ect that are definitely made up
 
Poor lady, they look like something that would eat your house like termites. This is the worry of things coming from overseas. Thankfully l have never experienced anything like this as l have bought clothes from Shein which l know comes from overseas. I think l would have contacted the correct government department to dispose of the item safely.
Kind regards to all Vicki
 
This is a problem that should be brought to the attention of CUSTOMS. Online shopping Companies like AMAZON, KOGAN TEMU, SHEIN and many others, use third party suppliers (direct from manufacturer) that send direct to you. your parcel probably didn't get scanned at Customs, These unknown insects could have a devastating effect on our ecosystem.
