When it comes to fashion, certain items won't be to everyone's taste. However, we can all agree that clothes should do one thing and that's fit properly - especially when it comes to swimwear.
Now, with bikinis and swimming costumes, there will be some who prefer a smaller or tighter fit, opting to flaunt what their mama gave them. Others will want maximum coverage as they prefer it that way, but regardless of your choice everyone will be trying to avoid exposing themselves when by the pool or beach in public.
This is why one bikini that's for sale has become a point of discussion after it was shared online by a baffled shopper. The unnamed person shared a snap of some blue bikini bottoms they'd seen online and they quickly went viral.
The briefs have caused a stir online (Kmart Hacks & Decor/Facebook)The item in question was a pair of String Jacquard Briefs selling for $10 AUD (roughly £5) in Kmart in Australia. The swimwear became an issue as the front panel of the briefs are incredibly narrow - too narrow for even the hygiene protection sanitary sticker to fit properly inside of them.
Posting the photo online, the woman asked fellow social media used how they were supposed to "not expose their lady parts" while wearing it, according to Kidspot. They continued: "Even the sanitary plastic crutch sticker is too wide."

Thousands of people responded to the post, with many equally as confused claiming they 'wouldn't fit'. Someone else replied: "I get it that some girls are tiny but most of our coochies just don't fit that way." Another person said: "Oh my gosh the sticker even too wide is a crack up."
People weren't convinced they looked the same online (Kmart)A different user proclaimed that you'd be "eating the material" every time you took a step in them, while some thought it was "gross" as they wouldn't "want to see your sex organs on display when I'm taking my kids to the beach/pool". A fifth person added: "I reckon the designers don't possess female anatomy themselves."
A few suggested the bottoms could always be worn backward to give more coverage at the front. Others suggested they be worn around the other way, so the large piece of fabric was on the front. On the company's website, they do admit that the briefs are "low coverage", but some didn't think the picture of the model wearing them matched the actual product.
