Once you notice it, you can’t unsee it.
This summer, oversized pool floats have taken over the scene, with vibrant unicorns and swans gracing backyards everywhere, just begging for their moment on social media. However, one particular giant pool float has captured the internet’s attention for all the wrong reasons.
Originally shared on Reddit, this eye-catching raft quickly gained traction on Twitter thanks to user Lily Matthews, who humorously criticized the design team’s apparent oversight in including women during the creative process.
If this doesn’t make you giggle, you might just be affiliated with the marketing team behind this float. The quilted texture and the blue accents—presumably for “absorbency”—give off strong vibes of a maxi pad that many of us have carried around since middle school.
The reactions to this float have been nothing short of hilarious. Honestly, how did this design make it all the way to store shelves? It’s baffling!
Now that’s a bulk deal we can cheer for!
Additionally, it serves as a perfect air mattress for when Aunt Flo comes to visit. You know what I mean!
As for the legitimacy of this product, it’s not just a joke—it’s available in stores and can even be found on Amazon. Perfect for keeping your little secret under wraps from your delivery person!
The reviews on Amazon have been a source of endless laughter:
- “LOL. Do you think the designers are banging their heads on their desks yet?”
- “Hot crimson one-piece.” We are literally laughing out loud!
One can only imagine that the model featured on the packaging must have thought, “What on earth? Why am I lounging on a giant pad?” because anyone who’s lived with a menstruating woman would immediately make the connection.
But then again, considering that tampon commercials still opt for that peculiar blue liquid instead of realistic period blood, one can’t help but wonder what really transpires in those design meetings.
