So I was in Paperchase earlier today when I noticed white wrapping paper covered with what I am pretty sure was various types of silver tits. I said to the assistant, if you’re going to sell this, where is the knob paper? AIBU to think they should sell both?!!

I saw that wrapping paper - it's on postcards too - and was Hmm about it.

I made a complaint to Paperchase about their kids school lunch bag, clearly aimed at junior school kids by the childish design, which said

WTF !!

On it. Their response was:

Sorry no I didn’t take any photos. I just thought it was a bit odd, slightly like the laddish culture of the 90s. Weird.

Paperchase is stationery for adults.

Feminists reclaiming tits is a tumblr/instagram thing lots of it on Etsy. Genital socks and the like.

Sounds like they are trying to take on Scribbler

Seems to be a range called “sisterhood”

P.s: if you think paperchase is aimed at kids you haven’t been paying attention. It’s pricey, it’s niche, it’s for adults.

Why is that lunch bag clearly for kids?

I think it is relevant that the boobs are of different sizes and shapes and it looks to me like there is one which represents a mastectomy.
I think it represents diversity rather than titillation if you'll forgive the pun

@MiddleClassProblem they’d placed it in the accessories section aimed at young children : grown women aren’t attracted to fluffy pom-pom pencil cases with jokes about schoolteachers on them.

Why is that lunch box aimed towards kids? Surely it depends on your sense of humour.. I'm 28 and would buy it..

I think it’s fine. It’s not sexualised but just different boobs.

Surely it’s just in the pencil case section. Some adults do like Pom-poms. If there was a birthday card section or a pen section there would pens for kids/teens there are next to adult style pens. It’s not like a clothes shop where you have a kids section.

I would go (actually I wouldn't, only in theory) to Smiggle for kids' lunch boxes. I know plenty of grown women who would purchase sparkly covered lunch boxes!

I'm a bit disappointed as I thought it was paper with blue tits etc on and thought it sounded quite nice!

I agree, OP, it’s just bog-standard objectification dressed up (ha!) as woke inclusivity. Bollocks to it.

The picture is not this description, it’s obvious and multicoloured tits.

There must be a big tittery at paper chase.

I thought you meant Christmas wrapping paper and I was wondering what tits have to do with Christmas?! Although Jesus would obviously have been bf I suppose.
