It would've been a good idea to run this pool float design by a woman first

Yeah, probably should've checked.

Well, at least it's not absorbent.

In the latest of designs that should've been checked before getting manufactured, a pool float has gone viral, thanks to looking like it belongs in a feminine hygiene aisle.

The photo was initially shared on Reddit, but also got plenty of attention when it was shared by author Jillian David on Twitter Monday, who said this could've been avoided with a focus group of women.

Fair enough: because it resembles a giant maxi pad.

Oh and yes, there's jokes. The internet has jokes.

The pool float is actually for sale, by the way, and not some craftily hatched up Photoshop job.

"The Aquaria Pasadena Pool Float has a fun marbleized design, luxuriously soft, durable and Made in the USA," reads the description for the float on Sam's Club.

It's also on Amazon, which is accompanied by some rather fantastic customer reviews. What else do you expect from the internet?
