Sanitary towels in nappy aisle

[Baconking]

They've re-jigged my local sainsbury's around over the last few months and closed down the pharmacy.
I noticed recently when looking for sanitary towels that they are in the aisle with the nappies and the signage over the aisle just says nappies nothing else. It's a new sign.

I was mildly irritated by this, not sure why, it just doesn't seem to sit right. Surely it should say feminine care or something and should babies nappies and fc go together? Seems a bit odd to me...

Just wondering what others think. I have no plans to complain or start a petition 😉

Same in our sainsburys. I had to ask this morning where nappies were. They’ve just done a redesign and it’s impossible to find stuff!

Cat litter

Or, it could be to do with the shelf profiling? Shelves are a pain in the arse to reprofile and the items are around the same size height wise? San pro and inco pads and pants and nappies and baby products all make sense to me tbh.

I really want a Things That Are Absorbent aisle.

That's because sometimes the pants (and not necessarily the pads) could be classed as assisted living items, not san pro.

At ours all of that stuff is in the isle with all the baby stuff including baby food and nappies.

Sounds like a "for men" supermarket

"Stuff for the BBQ"
"Stuff your wife asked you to get and you can't find"

I've always wondered why sanpro and nappies weren't in the same aisle, personally. I think it makes some sense. Although I can, of course, see that nappies also fit in the baby products aisle too.

Not something I could get worked up over.

Smells really bad

My supermarket has pasta and ingredients for Italian cooking in the same aisle as cereals.

They do this 'mixing it up' to get you moving around and seeing different products.

The signage in our local Sainsbury’s is so muddled they may as well make a single sign design to pop above their aisles that just says “Things”.

I really couldn't care less where they are to be honest.

Eh? A packet of towels or tampons is nowhere near as big as a pack of nappies. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

I call them lady nappies 😆

Me to!

The sign used to say feminine hygiene but we can't say that anymore cos remember not only women have periods dontcha know 😡
In my.local sainsburys its now " Period care"

Our supermarket gets round that by having the pet food on the same aisle as laundry powder. I'm not sure it's a good idea. Sometimes our cats' biscuits smell more like Persil than they should.

Gets on my wick when they put Bovril in the hot drinks aisle and the Marmite a hundred yards away with the jam.

Important issue?? Miserable??

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension?

I thought the chat boards were for idle chit chat not just hugely life changing important issues, maybe you should try getting a life yourself!

Maybe it is a space issue? So the nappy aisle isn't full and the hygiene/medicine aisle is pushed for space. I must have a look at my Sainsbury's and see if this is a general change.

I prefer "period care" anyway, "feminine hygiene" is on a par with "lady care" and all the other twee ways of saying something without actually saying it.

I don't really like the use of the word "hygiene". It implies periods are dirty things.

I like that idea, very efficient to make all the signs the same and no need to swap the signs when the needlessly move everything around. In my Sainsbury's they have reduced the chocolate/sweets aisle and the "overflow" of chocolates are on the fizzy drinks aisle.

Do you think thy might have got someone's child in with their crayons to do a new layout?
