Just wondered if anyone else have noticed this in their local Tesco? JLS endorsed condoms? Now I'm all for finding ways to promote condoms but when they have pictures of groups like JLS then I don't think they should be low down on the shelf.
Particularly at eye level of young children.
The conversation with my 9 years old went...mum, it's JLS, can I have one of them please?
Me...No, they are not for children
Daughter...but it's got JLS on and I love JLS , what is it?
Me....it's things only adults can buy, I will tell you when your older.
Now, I know I could have probably handled it better and if I was prepared then I could have probably thought of a better answer but at the time I was horrified that my 9 year old had a pack of condoms in her hands.
I have emailed tesco's to complain as I wasn't too happy about this.
Grrr...rant at Tesco over

I thought the same, it's not right, maybe they think it's a good thing aiming at teens but majority of fans are too young to even know what they are.
Btw....I was not buying condoms with my daughter present, the condoms are opposite the deodorants. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
They have been on lots of tv programmes watched by youngsters promoting safe sex and their condoms. I believe each member (yes, I know) has their own box.
They are in most shops but I have noticed condoms everywhere seem to have moved to the lowest shelves. |

They are actually very good.
Clean cut healthy living lads.
Their music isn't to my taste but I can't deny they are at the better end of what is popular |

"I think it's a great idea.
Condoms have been in supermarkets for years.
I see no reason to complain to Tesco because you had to be a parent to your child. "
As I said in my original post I'm all for promoting condoms, the reason I complained is to ask them to move them higher on the shelves so young children are not picking them up asking to have them because their favorite group are advertised all over them. |

That's because their parents will be keeping them away from things that are for adults only! |

I totally agree with you that it's a good thing to promote safe sex and I do realise kids are having sex, but JLS have very young fans and I was saying that condoms showing popular bands should be above the eye level of very young children.
I was buying deodorant and my daughter turned around and seen the condoms, I didn't take her to look at them. |

a flipside to the argument is, that a knowledge of condoms was educated to youngsters i remember, to stop them picking them up off the street...nasty as fuck habit some people do! |

i have to agree,condoms should be on a shelf,out with the reach of 9 year olds.
being a parent to your child,on this subject,is probably most effective,if done at a time and place,of the parents choosing. |
