Kmart stuns customers with $5 erotic-looking item

Kmart Australia, the popular retail giant, is known for its wide range of affordable products.

However, a recent addition to their inventory has left shoppers in stitches, and for a reason you might not expect.

A new $5 candle, innocently intended to add ‘a soothing vibe to your living space’, has been causing quite a stir due to its uncanny resemblance to a sex toy.



The Decor Pillar Candle was spotted by a bemused shopper who took to social media to share their surprise.

'Okay, didn't expect to see this at Kmart today,' they wrote, alongside a picture of the controversial candle.

The post quickly drew hundreds of comments from fellow Aussies who agreed that the item looked more like a bedroom companion than a household ornament.

'Only $5, not a bad price for a d*ldo,' one user replied.

While another asked, 'Since when did Kmart start selling sex toys?'



Despite its suggestive shape, the Decor Pillar Candle is described by Kmart as an 'elegant addition to your home'.

This isn't the first time Kmart has unintentionally ventured into the realm of adult entertainment.

In June 2023, a savvy mum discovered that Kmart's 'Soft Play Triangle', a children's toy, bore a striking resemblance to a $190 sex position wedge from adult retailer Lovehoney.



The mum shared her find on the Mums on a Budget Facebook page, boasting that the toy saved her 'over $100'.

The 'Soft Play Triangle' and the Lovehoney wedge shared similar dimensions, with the main differences being the colour scheme and material.

Kmart's toy featured a vibrant red, blue, and yellow design, a stark contrast to Lovehoney's deep purple.

'I'm never going to be able to look at that triangle the same way ever again,' one said.

While another added: 'We now need a safe word to play with our child's toy.'

Kmart Australia has yet to comment on the unexpected attention their Decor Pillar Candle has received.

Guilty conscience much? If the cap fits..... I will respond to whomever made a comment as I like. You seem easily offended. No apology.
I'm not easily offended. Just pissed off at people such as yourself making poorly disguised criticisms in a convoluted fashion. Your shot! Make my day.

I laughed about your quick witted joke because I had just finished reading yesterdays on-line story -

"WA Police has confirmed child abuse squad detectives are in Broome as part of “an ongoing investigation into historic child sex offences”, with reports they are currently raiding the home of former Catholic Bishop Christopher Saunders."

The timing was amusingly ironic. (Not that there is anything funny about the alleged offences)

Pffffftttt. Like I care even a modicum that you are pissed off at people like me. You say you are not easily offended? Your reactions to my posts say very different. You have already made my day admirably. Hahaha
 
Maybe a MAL-function??
Ah keep trying, cabbagepatch doll. Far better folk than you have tried to play rough with me and failed. To me this is just amusement. One of the benefits I enjoy about being old that I have no need to be polite any more. I have this medical condition now that compels me to say what I really think but the side effect is that it pisses people off and I don't care. If you really want to play with me, I will have fun with you like I have had with all comers before you. Bring it on. Your serve.
 
I couldn't care less.
Let me tell you one thing. I'm fiercely protective of those who are quality contributors on SDC. To the extent that I will proudly relinquish my membership for their cause. I am not a protected species nor pretend to be. If the administration of SDC see fit to terminate my membership, well so be it.

When I first joined SDC, I advised them that I am outspoken and intelligent but I will NEVER back down, especially to the likes of you.

Got it!
