In a social media post that has shocked the Northern Beaches Moms Facebook group, a woman shared a revolting experience after buying a packet of Bonds period undies.
When opening the package containing the $16 black boyleg undies, she was horrified to find brown, insect-like debris inside.
The woman, Lisa, wrote alongside a video of the soiled undies: “WTF are these? Just opened a packet of period undies. 🤢”
Brownish particles cover the fabric, and some small, insect-like creatures seem to be mixed in with the debris.
It didn’t take long for the comments to start flooding in…
“Get them out of your house nowww”
“I’d be posting this on the Bonds page 🤢,” one person suggested, echoing what many other commenters said.
“EWWWW,” someone else wrote, while others just shared multiple vomiting emojis.
“Yikes. Not good,” another mom responded, while someone else called the situation, “wild.”
“Get them out of your house nowww,” another local urged.
The poster then responded that she had already vacuumed the affected area and any debris that had spilled on the floor.
Then one member speculated that the creatures might be termites, writing, “They’re silver bullet termites I think.”
Another user agreed and suggested the woman call pest control immediately.
“This is concerning with strict quarantine laws”
Others turned to Google reverse search to help with identification.
“Google Lens seems pretty confident about them being termites. Wow,” shared one mum.
Then, another group member mentioned a past experience with a different product: “These bugs don’t look quite the same, but a whole lot of customers were sent carpet beetles from an overseas knitwear brand. We were advised to go outside with the item and spray it with insect spray.”
And another user pointed out, “Bonds are manufactured overseas. This is concerning with strict quarantine laws. I don’t recognize these bugs.”
Many commenters advised that the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry be contacted rather than just Bonds because this could be a biosecurity risk.
One commenter advised, “Keep packaging and all evidence. Would be interested to hear what it is.”
