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.'

I haven't been to K Mart for a while, if I had and saw these, I would have been asked to leave for laughing way to loud.

Some people have their mind in the gutter obviously. There are loads of candles that look like those. I wouldn't have thought anything of it. Buy if you want or don't buy if you don't want. Really, people, get a life.

So agree. It’s all in the mind. These are old fashioned candles in an old fashioned candlestick. Next they will be interpreting the fruit and vegetable aisle

I say well done to Vanessa C for this article. It’s a great way to start the day with a good laugh; it’s hilarious. Also goes to show what diverse minds we human beings have.

Somebody better give me a hand to get out the gutter.

Why are people horrified at the mere mention of SEX? Are you entrenched in the Victorian Era or something? Helloooo! It's 2024, not 1880!

 

[chinkapook]

It doesn't look like a sex toy. Far from it

 

[Veggiepatch]

Does this look like a sex toy?



News for you.... IT IS and a damn good one!

Depends on what you choose to see.

From what history I’ve read and watched, there was a lot more debauchery going on historically than many would be led to believe.

 

[Veggiepatch]

Better pull these off the shelves as well!
