Kmart shoppers have slammed a kids' clothing item, calling the difference between the boys' and girls' clothing range 'disgusting'. One Kmart shopper uploaded a series of photos in a Facebook group, showing off various styles of denim shorts ranging in price from $12-$15, but complaining that they were way too short for her daughter.

"Call me old fashioned, but I tend to like my daughter's shorts to be longer than her underwear," the mother said.

Other Kmart shoppers jumped into the comments section, with different shopping recommendations and with similar complaints, saying they had noticed a stark difference in the girls' shorts compared to the shorts for boys.

While some shoppers said they'd boycott buying the clothes from Kmart, others suggested the boys' section provided a better selection for shorts, while others said they'd recommend shopping at other stores such as Best & Less or Target due to their better range.

"They are ridiculously short this year. No Kmart denim shorts for my 6 year-old," one person said.

"Just did a shop for Miss 9 and ended up in the boys section. I hate it!" someone else said, with another commenting, "Seriously don’t understand how parents would be OK with letting their children wear this type of clothing."

"Disgusting. I personally wouldn't buy these for my granddaughter," one grandmother commented. "Let's hope all the parents think the same."

A few Kmart shoppers though pointed out that while the shorts looked tiny on the racks, they didn't look as short when they were on.

"They actually don’t look as short when they are on lol," one person commented. "They will look longer on short legs. It’s not the same as on adults with long legs," another agreed.

"My daughter was bought a pair from family and even though I did freak at first once they were on, they weren't actually short!" one mother shared.

"I’ve seen these shorts posted so many times and so many people have commented photos that they are like normal shorts on," another person pointed out.
