The Range, which has stores in Lady Bay Retail Park and Radford Boulevard in Nottingham, has pulled products which have been described as "body-shaming" from its shelves after complaints. These items are designed to encourage weight loss for events such as a wedding or holiday but as one customer highlighted, the products are only aimed at women.
In an Instagram post that has since racked up nearly 12k likes in just a day, Emma Conway, a digital creator, explained how she'd "left the shop shaking" after spotting the items while shopping. She wrote: "Imagine my shock when I saw two signs. One saying ‘Countdown To My Bikini Body’ and the other stating ‘It Could Only Take 10lbs To Drop A Dress Size’."
The shopper added: "Now I understand people want to lose weight for a variety of reasons. Not an issue. But I asked if there was one for men. Maybe a ‘Lose Chunk To Fit In Your Trunks’. There wasn’t. It was just for women."
