I don't know how to make a quote line but this one stood out to me and made me laugh.
"Parents do not consent to their children being exposed to obscene devices while shopping for toothpaste."
What stores sell toothpaste next to adult toys?
Maybe they were talking about those vibrating obscene electric toothbrushes
That quote reminded me of this funny commercial https://youtu.be/_hgN4Fqulmw
My local supermarket has sex toys on upper shelves in the family planning section, which is in the healthcare department. They don't look like dongs, so people shouldn't recognize what they are unless they know about them already. But kids might still ask their parents what that is on the shelf, and that is apparently worse than school shootings.
My Walmart has them next to the pharmacy, 2 or 3 aisles away from the toothpaste
Meijer has them on the same aisle as the deodorant

The Meijer I shop at regularly has vibrators in the same aisle as toothpaste, might be the next aisle over but they're real close to each other.
I’m guessing that part is performative. I doubt there are dildos for sale at Walmart.
They sell small vibrators in discreet packaging, on the top shelf near the condoms.
My local walmart has a whole aisle, locked in a glass case. You have to go ask an employee to get your dildo for you.
Very discreet packaging indeed. I worked at Walmart for a short spell a while back and I stocked them a few times before finally I was like, "Whoa, Walmart sells sex toys!?"
I learned something new today!
Walmart absolutely sells vibrators and plugs. They're in the section near the condoms, which does happen to be near the toothpaste/deodorant/shampoo area.
