Title left as is, it's just so silly.

It was sex toys.

"The issue isn't that they are displaying [adult toys], it's the fact they're displaying them at the baby aisle where so many children will be exposed to it. It's a family supermarket - they should be more cautious with where they place things. The manager meant no offence, but he said my child won't exactly know what it is."

"But it's not about if the child recognises what the item is, it should not be displayed to begin with. It doesn't matter if the child understands or not. It made me a bit angry because an older child, who is also innocent, might understand what it is."

This is what she’s angry about

Get a fucking grip, Ayesha. This is like being offended by Tesco selling tampons or toothbrushes or something.

an older child, who is also innocent, might understand what it is

By definition, if someone knows what these things are, they aren’t “innocent”. It’s not like they scream sex toy. They even look like they could be vapes or something.

Agree. Why does a supermarket have to sell it?

Why should a supermarket be prohibited from selling it?

Its is because no one should ever admit they have sexual organs? Maybe they should also not sell condoms, tampons, and pads because children might learn that penises and vaginas exist. Oh the humanity!

I'd far rather people buy quality controlled stuff from Tesco than the Wild West of Amazon.

(For anyone wondering a good cheap place to buy things, LoveHoney. Their packaging is so discrete, you could ship things to your office. And while we're at it, don't buy anything jelly that you plan to put directly inside)
