Once you notice it, you can’t unsee it.
This summer, oversized pool floats have taken center stage, with colorful unicorns and majestic swans gracing backyards everywhere. However, one new float has captured the internet’s attention for all the wrong reasons.
Originally shared on Reddit, this float drew immediate reactions across social media, particularly from influencer Mia Thompson, who highlighted the glaring absence of women in the design process.
If you’re not chuckling at this, you might just work for the marketing team behind this float. With its quilted pattern and blue accents—presumably for “absorbency”—this pool accessory bears an uncanny resemblance to the maxi pads women have tucked away in their purses since middle school.
The responses have been nothing short of hilarious. Seriously, how did this make it to store shelves?
It seems like the kind of bulk deal we can all get behind, especially if it can double as an air mattress for when Aunt Flo pays a visit. You know, just saying!
And yes, this product is real and even available on Amazon, so you can discreetly order it without anyone knowing it’s that time of the month.
The reviews are a treasure trove of laughter:
- “Can you imagine the company’s team facepalming right now?”
- “Hot red one-piece.” We’re not just chuckling; we’re outright laughing!
We can’t help but picture the model on the box thinking, “Seriously? I’m lounging on a hug pad?” Any woman—or man who shares a home with one—would instantly recognize the connection.
But given that tampon ads still opt for that bizarre blue liquid instead of realistic period representation in 2023, who knows what goes down in those design meetings?
