A pool float that resembles a giant inflatable sanitary pad has sparked a discussion on social media about the unfortunate design.

The picture was first posted on social media site Reddit three days ago with users joking about the Pasedena Pool float's seemingly unintentional resemblance to a feminine hygiene product. One Reddit user remarked: "It gives me the confidence I need to float in the pool."

But it was when the photo of the giant lilo pad was shared by Jillian David on Twitter that users questioned how such a design could've been commissioned. "This could have been avoided with 1 focus group (of women) she posted."
