Vibrators on sale at Tesco, thought it was a bit much

Will add it to my long list of reasons why I don't shop in Tesco.

I hope you never let your kids clap eyes on pregnant women! Wouldn’t want them to know that someone has had sex

I probably wouldn’t buy a vibrator alongside my bread and milk with kids in tow, as I’m sure most customers wouldn’t, but saying it ‘normalises sex around children’ is a bit strange. Are you suggesting that they’d be using the product around their kids?

Don't men use vibrators, or some men?

Condoms are contraception and protect against infection.

Vibrators are unnecessary for anyone who has a happy relationship.

Looks like the ‘pleasure cup’ could be used for this purpose too! Win, win.

I think it's a bit grim. Sexual health products such as condoms and pregnancy tests are one thing, but "Suction Simulator" (from PP's photo)? I felt a bit queasy even looking at that, and it's definitely not something I want to explain to my kids at this stage.

What next - blow-up dolls? Handcuffs and ball gags? No thank you. What people get up to in their private lives is precisely that - private - and I dislike the creeping normalisation of private practices into the public sphere.

If condoms where behind the pharmacy kids will be to embarrassed to ask for them. Surely we want our kids to have access to safe sex

Why is it disgusting?🤣

I mean it could be worse.

USA and their walmarts ( their version of Asda once) just casually has guns on the wall, in the same building as people's groceries.

Let's put it into perspective.

I'd rather rows of plastic cocks then something that kills someone.

The small vibes that have been on sale for years can pleasure men or women.

A penis pump or life size dildo - don’t think there’s any need for them to be on sale at a supermarket.

They'll be selling penis beakers next.

Not in my local Tesco they haven't, I must live in a prudish area 😁

Maybe they could sell the nipple clamps and spanking paddles in the car accessories section with the spark plugs and WD40.

Erm & have unplanned pregnancies and STI's instead.

Face it people are 'doing it' and have been since the beginning of time. Contraception & safe sex should not be hidden away.

Maybe if they've been walking past condoms since they were toddlers they won't feel embarrassed about buying them as teenagers.

Agree I wouldn't want a 'whats that mum' conversation with DC in a supermarket re a vibrator but as long as they are discrete & the packaging, names etc aren't graphic then there's no issue supermarkets selling them. Masturbating is normal & healthy. Blokes do it from early teens so why shouldn't women.

Blimey

I've never seen vibrators in Tesco's. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough

Some of them are on club card prices 🤣

You beat me to it.

They also sell pregnancy testing kits, baby clothes, baby formula, encouraging young children to normalise the concept ( sorry) that people walking around in Tescos have had sex and got pregnant ! Though maybe if they promoted the condom aisle more they wouldn’t have to sell the end products of normalising sex around children,

Why shouldn't men have their needs meet?

Sure, it's normal, but not with kids around.

Same reason they didn't let kids into the porn section of the video store.

There are parents out there who allow all this kind of stuff openly in the home, including pornographic material. Or take their kids to sex expos with vendors selling all kinds of stuff.

There is definitely a line that is moving as far as what's appropriate for children to be around, and I don't think being so blase about that is going to be a good thing.

Small vibes, lube, condoms… don’t see the big deal.

Penis pumps are a step too far. Really don’t see the need for these to be on sale in Tesco. What next? Nipple clamps? Spanking paddles? Where do you draw the line?

It is too much.

Not interested in seeing vibrators in supermarkets.
😖😤

I thought that was what it was going to be and I did feel shocked 😁 I only do Tesco online so haven’t come across them (not that I’d buy anyway).

I don’t think I could put that on the conveyor belt though, definitely one for the ‘self service’ (s’cuse the pun)

I haven't ever noticed. Bit that says more about me than Tesco.
