I was horrified after sending a cute snap of my baby to the in-laws but not realising the X-rated item in the background
A MUM was left red-faced and mortified after sending what she thought was a sweet photo of her baby to her in-laws.
However, upon closer inspection of the snap, she realised she had accidentally left an X-rated item in the background.
While her sweet baby was front and centre of the photo, on the bedside table was a sex toy she had forgotten to pack away.
Not only did she send the picture to her partner’s parents, but to her own entire family too.
After slightly getting over the traumatic experience, she took to TikTok to share the mishap with her followers.
On her page, she wrote: “Sent this cute photo of our son to every single one of my family as well as my in laws.

“Not realising this was in the background.
“K!ll me!" [sic]
Her saga may have left her wanting the ground to swallow her up, but it has certainly entertained internet users.
The photo has racked up over 147,000 likes and people were quick to comment.

One identified the item, or a similar one, and wrote: “satisfyer pro 2 - £30 on amazon. you won't regret it.”
Another reassured her saying: “Honestly tho the baby looks so cute and cozy they probably didn’t look at anything else.”
And a third commented: “If it makes you feel better, I’m a 29 year old woman and have no idea what that is, so hopefully they won’t!”
Others said they had “spat their coffee out” after seeing the woman’s post.
Depop disaster
It comes after a mortified woman accidentally left her vibrator in the background of Depop photos and only realised when someone told her.
Although one shopper could have done the easy thing and acted like she didn't see it, she decided to message the seller and let her know.
She wrote: ";Not sure if you know but your vibrator is in the background of your pic..."
Unsurprisingly, the seller was mortified by her oversight and grateful for the message.
"Omg omg omg YIKES I literally had no idea," they responded. "Thanks for letting me know!"

Although the dress the woman was hoping to sell has been blurred out by the Instagram account to stop any chance of the seller being linked to the pic, the vibrator is still sitting on her chest of drawers - as clear as day.
The cringe-worthy exchange has racked up almost 40,000 "likes" on Instagram - and users were largely sympathetic to the seller.
