Walmart customer SLAMS retail giant for putting women's underwear next to the MEN'S section and in front of the food - insisting 'girls should be able to shop for bras and panties in private'

A Walmart customer has furiously slammed the retail giant for placing a range of bras and panties that were seemingly being marketed at young girls next to the men's clothing section in her local store.

Sasha Piton of Idaho Falls, Idaho, took to TikTok to rant about the awkward positioning of two clothing sections, further noting that these 'bras and panties' were also easily visible from the megastore's grocery department.

After stating she'd come to Walmart to look for a bralette she'd seen on a different visit, Sasha, who goes by @thesashapiton on the platform, couldn't help but notice the odd product proximities.

'Here's the food section; here's the men's section. Why are panties and bras right by the food and the men's section?' she implored in the 48-second video.

'I don't care. I'm a grown woman,' she further declared.

'But I think if you are a teenager who wants to look at these fun, cute, totally colored panties, why do you have to do it next to the men's section or next to the food section?

'For girls between the ages of eight and 18 should totally get to shop their bras and panties in private,' she continued.

'And I get, I get it's a big old store. But I just don't think that these cute little panties should be right across from the men's section.

'These are definitely like more geared for teenagers but still - just come on. Come on!' she concluded.

Thankfully this crap only happens in BLUE STATES. No way a Red State, like Texas, would permit it.

So nothing to worry about here!

“Most clothing stores I know put men’s and women’s underwear in more discrete locations. Walmart and warehouse stores can provide lower prices because they are set up to handle high volume sales to give those prices. If someone doesn’t like how Walmart sets up their stores, either live with it or buy somewhere else.”


In my local Wal-mart, the young girl’s underwear has always been placed near the adult women’s underwear and nowhere near the adult men’s clothing and certainly not near the grocery store aisles. It has been done in such a way for the decades since the first store was built in my area. And, it’s been that way in every Walmart I’ve visited in other states.

I know because it makes such items easy to locate if traveling and find a need to purchase them for grand-daughters. I always know right where to go and have never missed immediately finding what I need right where I thought they would be. Young girl’s underwear has always been somewhere between the pj’s for girls and underwear for adults.

Someone in upper management has apparently decided to change the store layout in regards to young girl’s underwear locations.

Never assume there is an innocent reason for such a change in store layout. Retail never changes store lay-out unless they are pushing to the forefront certain items.

Because women do a lot of the family shopping, so that placement is not to aid perverts but to encourage wives and moms to restock basic necessities for all members of the family. Everything isn’t about voyeurism.

I’ve never seen a guy leering in the ladies’ aisles, and who cares about the food area? What can one really see from the vegetable aisle? Overthinking at its worst!

Adults forget the stress caused to girls going to select their first bra and picking out their own underwear. In the past, their mother or grandmother just purchased underwear and it ended up in their sock and underwear drawer.

What 10 to 12 year old young girl wants to be seen looking at those items near anyone at all? Much less to be seen by men nearby looking at a pair of jeans, or the three teen boys walking down the chips and dips aisle in the grocery section?

With corporations going all in on the sexualization of children, I wouldn't doubt this is a deliberate action on the part of retail corporations.

Now do you get it?

Nope. WalMart layout is designed to maximize sales. The kind of creeps that you are worried about will find the ladies underwear section no matter where it is in the store.

I understand there isn't a square inch of those stores that doesn't have a surveillance camera looking at it. If you really need something to worry about, think about the unisex open topped dressing rooms that are at most WalMarts.

It is indeed not nice.

What is worst, is WalMart has gone to single dressing rooms. Guess where they ALWAYS are?

Right up at the bras.

So I have to send my son past the bras to try things on.

I hate these people.

But then, in the old days we had REAL department stores where they were separated. It’s too expensive to have walls and stuff, you know.

Funny you mention dressing rooms.

I just mentioned in my 51 how I hate they always had them next to/pass through the BRAS.

sorry, that’s just wrong.

I believe a lot of careful thought goes into store layout and product placement.

I have to disagree with you there.

In can't count the number of times I'm looking for something and finally have to ask someone for help locating it and wondering what someone was thinking when they put stuff where it is.

Matter of fact, one of the local W-M's here in NH is apparently one of the stores where they test different product layouts as told me by an employee of that store who was helping me find something.

They’re just trying to make it easier for transvestites to shop. Nothing to blow a fuse over.

It’s a walmart. NOT the Biden White House. You’re safe girls.

I am upset I have to go through men’s socks and underwear next to the women’s underwear section. They are endcap displays that managers just put where there is room.

I just can’t stand shopping largely because enough people and their kids are so self centered obnoxious and oblivious to others, I just want to get my stuff quickly and leave that environment.

I do not shop at places like Target or Walmart precisely because of the people that frequent there. Its an unpleasant shopping experience and I don’t need it. Its also the same reasons I don’t go to movie theaters as well. You can’t enjoy a movie anymore. Enough people do not parent kids and lack self control now, its a waste of time and money.

I have found much better places to shop.

It would never have occurred to me that this is an issue. Last time I bought undies, I just walked into the store, looked for a packet, then took it to the cashier. I didn’t even notice what section the undies were next to, much less cared.

WalMart does not have changing rooms? I did not know that!

The “food” section? Subway? It’s at the front of the store and nobody eats there.

But if they did, it would be cruel to force them to see typical Walmart shoppers looking at underwear.

If the aisle between the departments are wider than usual, I'm guessing the placement is to accommodate the Wal-Mart shopping scooters. Are the aisles on the border between departments where the product is placed for impulse shopping?

When the grandchildren were smaller, my wife could not get past the toddler outfits to see if there was something new for the kids.
