Shopper mortified as Shein bikini arrives with a gross surprise inside

A shopper has expressed her dismay on social media after discovering an unpleasant surprise in her recent bikini purchase.

Allie, who had ordered from Shein, was looking forward to flaunting a stylish black and white striped bikini with chain detailing by the poolside. However, as is often the case with budget retailers, the anticipation of whether the product will meet expectations can be nerve-wracking.

However, Allie's concerns went beyond fit and style when she discovered that the chain detailing on the bikini bottoms was broken and the garment was stained. She explained that she'd "noticed it came broken," but upon closer inspection, she found "crotch stains" on the bikini, which were light brown. Typically, swimwear comes with a hygiene seal to protect the material and allow for returns if the fit isn't right.

The absence of a hygiene seal left Allie with a stained bikini thanks to whoever had tried it on prior to her. She labelled the situation as "Disgusting" in her video, showing herself discarding the entire item into the bin instead of attempting a return.

In the comments section, viewers expressed their shock at what they witnessed in the brief video, with some using vomiting emojis and others commenting, "Shein and Temu is a no from me".

A man suggested, "You can fix those, so you don't need to put it in the trash," but Allie retorted: "That is really gross". The commenter then added: "I think that people do this even when they are hungry for money, after a while your money will run
