Viral picture of man's 'lady drawer' containing tampons, face wipes and sex toy divides internet

A man who has shared a photo of a drawer where he keeps a stash of feminine products for “frequent guests” has divided the internet.

The photo, posted from a Twitter account using the handle BassFather, shows a drawer in his bathroom stocked with tampons, face wipes, nail polish remover, a pregnancy test and a sex toy.

The picture is captioned: “I feel like every guy needs a “lady drawer” if you plan on having frequent guests.”

He later added: “For the record, I’m not saying to go buy all this s***. You really just need makeup wipes, tampons, hair ties, and a hair brush. I just had all that laying round so I designated a drawer for it.”

Some people have described the drawer as “cute” and “thoughtful” while a number of women have said they were disgusted by the thought of using second hand products.

A number of men said they were “creeped out” by the idea.

The post also sparked a series of memes, with one person posting a picture of a drawer full of pasta with the caption: “I feel like every guy needs a “lady drawer” if you plan on having frequent guests.”

Another posted a photo of a “fella drawer” that contained a can of beer, a broken comb, and empty bottle of washing detergent and a packet of cigarettes.
