Kmart shoppers baffled by X-rated beauty items: 'That's a WTF moment'

And although the packaging clearly states their purpose, it was the x-rated shapes and sizes that got people talking.

“Before I clicked on the pic, I didn’t know what your dirty mind was thinking but when I clicked it, I saw,” one person wrote.

“Looks like Kmart needs an R18+ section,” another quipped with a third saying “Well that was a WTF moment.”

'WTF moment!'

Meanwhile, in a separate post, another shopper said she had a hard time explaining her recent purchases to her husband who was also confused.

“Husband got a bit excited when I brought home my cosmetic beauty treatments,” One person joked of the new products.

The new facial massager - meant to help soothe and calm - also got people talking with some saying they looked like they belonged in an Adults Only shop.

“I wonder how many of these products are actually used for their intended use,” one person said.

It's happened before

It's not the first time Kmart shoppers have spotted a lookalike sex toy in the aisle of Kmart.

One mum discovered a $29 Soft Play Triangle in the Kmart toy section bared a striking resemblance to a $190 sex-position wedge sold at an adult shop.

"Ladies, Kmart always comes out with the goods. It's a save of over $100," she wrote on social media.
