My red, and ordered several pairs online. The order arrived in a huge box. I ended up returning it all as the wrong color of red. It was a nasty experience, and put me off ordering online. But the cod piece is amazing and should have been more featured on line. That is really scary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-shopping-horror-stories#post-2328856 Tue, 04 Jul 2023 12:15:00 +0000 Helena 2328856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg *facepalm* ...

But that's nothing compared to the codpiece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-shopping-horror-stories#post-2328847 Tue, 04 Jul 2023 11:16:41 +0000 Vildy 2328847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the codpiece for women really takes the cake.&nbsp; Are we now supposed to worry about how plump the mons is? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-shopping-horror-stories#post-2328819 Tue, 04 Jul 2023 04:32:33 +0000 Bee 2328819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of us who often shop online have had the experience of purchasing an item that didn’t turn out be quite what we were expecting. Be it wrong sizing, an awkward fit or a significant difference in overall appearance, something will eventually disappoint, surprise and in some cases even shock us. And of course we’ve all heard stories of people who received products that were completely different from what they ordered and totally unexpected, often hilarious or bordering on the horrific. If you have any such stories, even if its just about something that didn’t fit or match the color in the online photo, please feel free to share. </p> <p>A friend of mine in Brazil recently bought some gym attire on Shein. And while most items arrived as expected, one pair of pink ruched shorts stood out due to a peculiar detail that wasn’t mentioned in the description nor was it apparent in the photos.</p> <p>Padding. And lots of it. Not just in the back and sides but in the front as well. A somewhat rigid foam pad complete with a deep cleft, akin to a modern codpiece for women. My friend assures me that it’s even more exaggerated than the ones shown in picture #2 but I’ve yet to see the proof. She sent me picture #1 which is how the product is being advertised online and I found #2 on Google but she seems reluctant to show me what she actually received. I can’t really blame her. LOL </p>
