to complain to Asda?

Always do my shopping with asda, and have to admit I love the place. Cheap clothes for me, and more importantly DD, as well as good and reasonably priced food.

Anyway, in my local store, the medicines etc are opposite the nappies. Whilst stocking up on them, I turned to see that the "sex products" had been moved from the top shelf to PERFECT height for toddlers to grab. Now, if it were just condoms, I would maybe be a bit less annoyed. But there are vibrating bloody cock rings, lubricants and all sorts there too. I can just imagine DD walking and picking it up, and would not want to have to explain what it was, or have to quickly usher her away.

So, I made a complaint, and the manager seemed to have no excuse as to why it'd been moved from top shelf to second from bottom. I explained my concerns but nothing seems to have been done.

AIBU or is this something that is just not right? Are we gonna have the dirty mags on the bottom shelf too soon?

What's wrong with vibrating cock rings?

They sell Nuts and Zoo at eye level, taht is far more offensive in my view. And Asda houmous is bloody horrible as well (should have known really) - I was bloody offended at that!

GetOrfMoiLand · 06/01/2010 17:35

OP - your baby is 4 months, she is not likely to be grabbing anything for some time yet.

moondog · 06/01/2010 17:36

Aye.
Lets hear it fro the VCRs!

Buddleja · 06/01/2010 17:38

moondog why do you buy your Christmas bulbs in a sex shop? lol

Are they cheaper than normal cock rings?

moondog · 06/01/2010 17:40

Good question.
It is a mad cheapjack shop that sells everything (as you have surmised).

claw3 · 06/01/2010 17:59

Im not offended that they sell them, just sex and Asda in the same sentence doesnt seem right!

Asda and cock rings, is just sooo wrong.

claw3 · 06/01/2010 18:01

Are you sure you havent mistaken cock ring and prawn ring!?

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 06/01/2010 18:44

Are Asda really selling cock rings?

totalmadness · 06/01/2010 20:02

they sell cock rings but they cant deliver my shopping skulks off in annoyed manner

wearthefoxhat · 06/01/2010 20:16

We were delivered cock rings instead of condoms with a recent Asda delivery

We're now expecting twins (not really - to the twins bit, we really were brought cock rings)

LaurieFairyCake · 06/01/2010 20:21

It's the Durex PLay range - its all in a white box with no picture on the front.

It certainly doesn't say GIANT VIBRATING COCK RING on it.

you'd (and I bet you did you dirty beatch) have to look pretty closely to see what's on it

LurcioLovesFrankie · 06/01/2010 20:33

My local chemist (national chain) keeps durex on the bottom shelf as I discovered recently when my toddler picked up a box of condoms and started waving them around in triumph. They do come in pretty coloured boxes . Also have lubricant on the shelf, didn't notice any cockrings, must look next time I'm in there (purely academic interest - as a single mum in her 40s I think I have zero chance of getting laid again ever ). I just found it funny, to be honest.

Laura123434 · 17/01/2015 22:27

Can under 18 buy lube at asda

CaptainAnkles · 17/01/2015 22:31

They don't look remotely kinky or pornorific, they just look like another Durex product in a box. But they shouldn't really be on a low shelf anyway.

Minshu · 17/01/2015 22:48

Isn't it the parents's responsibility to stop kids grabbing things in supermarkets? I've obviously been overly attentive making my DD put things she shouldn't have been fiddling with down! It was up to mr Asda / Tesco / Sainsbo all the time, not silly ol' me!

Purplepoodle · 17/01/2015 23:12

Wheel chair height?

ghostyslovesheep · 17/01/2015 23:26

yabu I am 5ft 1" and may need libe or a cock ring

WorraLiberty · 17/01/2015 23:30

FFS bleach, detergent, paracetamol, cold remedies are all on low shelves.

It's not up to the rest of the world to baby proof itself in preparation for your offspring!

alltoomuchrightnow · 17/01/2015 23:37

yep Asda houmous is vile... it's not houmous is it.... no idea what it is though.
I was quite surprised to once see vibrating cock rings by the till in Surbiton's 99pShop!

LongDistanceLove · 18/01/2015 00:00

It's been 5 years, I wonder if the op complained?

Tinkerball · 18/01/2015 00:09

Why on earth would someone resurrect a 5 year old thread!

AnnieLobeseder · 18/01/2015 00:11

Weeeeeeelll, I can slightly see your point. But if your toddler took a can of peas off a shelf, you wouldn't feel a need to explain what the peas were, would you? You'd just say "No, don't touch please" and pop them back on the shelf.

AnnieLobeseder · 18/01/2015 00:17

Oooops, sorry, just noticed it's a zombie thread. Bugger.

Um, Laura123434, instead of resurrecting a 5 year old thread, why don't you look on the ASDA website?

But as far as I'm aware, lube is not age restricted.

ghostyslovesheep · 18/01/2015 00:20

hahahaha Laura123434 - do people with hairy hands need lube?
