Kmart swimsuit detail baffles Aussies: ‘Oh my gosh…’
- Replies 17
Spending a day by the beach or pool with grandkids is always a treat. But if you're thinking of buying a new swimsuit from Kmart, there's a detail you might want to consider.
String Jacquard Briefs, which cost just $10 online, have been in the news lately after a shopper spotted an oversight with the design.
If you're considering this pair, it's a good idea to take a closer look before deciding. Read on…
A shopper recently posted a photo of the swimsuit bottoms on social media, which sparked a lively discussion among thousands of women.
At first glance, it’s not hard to see why some women might be perplexed.
The front panel of the swimsuit was too narrow, leading to intense concerns about modesty.
The dilemma had women questioning how they were supposed to ‘not expose their lady parts in this?’
‘Even the sanitary plastic crutch sticker is too wide,’ the shopper who shared the photo wrote.
Over 1,500 women expressed their views on the issue, equally baffled.
In classic Aussie fashion, some took to joking to express their bewilderment.
‘I get it that some girls are tiny, but most of our co****ies just don’t fit that way,’ one woman commented.
‘You need to be completely bald, and even [with] a single step I would be flapping or eating the material,’ someone else shared.
‘Those are for ladies with a skinny m**k,’ another wrote.
‘Oh my gosh, the sticker even too wide is a crack up,’ one comment said.
While some women were puzzled, others felt more upset.
One commenter said she didn't want to ‘see anyone’s sex organs on display when taking the kids to the beach/pool’.
‘I reckon the designers don’t possess female anatomy themselves,’ another added.
A tip some offered was to wear them ‘backwards’ to get more front coverage.
However, one of the product’s listed ‘features’ was that it had ‘low coverage’.
The product also offers added stretch, a bright fluorescent colour, tie strings with knotted ends, elastic leg openings, a waistband, and an internal gusset seam.
Other shoppers also observed that the online advertisement’s model wore a version with a wider front fabric.
Kmart was contacted for comment but has yet to respond.
While the whole affair might seem like much ado about nothing (for some, at least), there’s more to the discussion than just potential indecent exposure.
Aside from the obvious benefits of swimwear covering private parts adequately, it helps keep out pool chemicals, sea salt, or fine particles like sand that can irritate the skin. Also, it stops any scratches from rough seats or surfaces.
That’s why taking a closer look at your swimwear, especially if you've bought it online, is important. It might just save you from discomfort or unexpected situations.
