Handing out any MLM stuff on Halloween is tacky, but handing out items from a sex toy one to children is extra bad. This is so many levels of not okay. Don't tell my 6-year-old she's an "truly sexy flirt" who needs to shave her private parts.
Yeah, this creeped me out big time. My daughter was laughing and said "I got shaving cream"...I was like wth? Does someone want their house done at Halloween? When I saw it, I realized maybe they do.
This seems like it should be some kind of reportable offense, considering it's sex toys and handing stuff out to minors (and tender age minors at that).
Someone did that in a town in my county with another sex toy MLM. Parents were pissed. It was high drama on the county happenings Facebook page for a few days.
Honestly, my first thought was to take it to the town Facebook page and let the sharks feed on it. I hate Facebook, but it can serve a purpose, and people might be interested in knowing this happened to others and which house to avoid next year.
Lol my NextDoor group is full of savages. They would have her address for you in .00002 seconds and also her FB page, phone number, SSN, as well as a screenshot from a neighbor's security cam posted in less than 5 min. So yes, I would 100% post this to NextDoor 😂💁♀️
This advice probably won't work for a lot of reasons, but if you knew which house it was and they had an HOA, you could absolutely get them in big trouble. But I doubt you know the house or they don't have an HOA, I just always want these people to face consequences. Giving out sex toy info to kids is predatory. It's very girly looking with the flowers, but imagine if a single man was giving these out... "Truly sexy flirt shave cream"... You want my 8 year old to shave to be truly sexy and flirt? I think if you can get on the sex offender registry for urinating next to a public park, you should DEFINITELY be added for this. We should hold huns to the same level of accountability because this is NOT acceptable social behavior. Just wait till they get an Easter egg full of lube 🙄
100% this. I always tell my kids that for their safety they need to assume any adult who starts talking to them about sexual matters besides me or their doctor is planning to hurt them.
It was defintely a house on our street or one of the little side streets, so no HOA. The card had a name and phone #, which I could probably look up. I know we won't go there next year if I discover who it was.
I completely understand your outrage, but putting someone on the sex offender registry is a Big Deal. Once someone gets on that list, they're persona non grata everywhere. They can't work, get a place to live, and are shunned by society. I agree that this person should be named and shamed, and the sexual grooming implications should be mentioned online, but leave the sex offender registries to the courts. The consequences of being on that are so dire that I'd feel bad for putting someone on there, and now I feel bad for feeling bad about a hypothetical sexual predator. I had no problem finding someone guilty of murder when I was on a jury, but for some reason that sex offender registry seems really unethical to me, and I've read studies that suggest that sex offender registries can hurt society more by putting these perverts under stress and causing them to offend again. So, I'd rather such lists be available only to LEOs. Sorry about the rant. The Hun who gave that kid genital shaving cream is a piece of shit, but I'd draw the line at involving the law. Public shaming works quite well. One just has to be careful, because the police might see such shaming as harassment.
Oh we had a pure romance hun who used to do this on Halloween too! Key words being "used to" because one year she ended up handing it out to the wrong kid and the dad managed to track her down and ended up showing up to her house and threatening to beat the shit out of her because he thought the hun was trying to groom his kid or something. She stopped doing it after that.
i wonder if this tactic has EVER worked for a single hun in existence? “hi karen, i saw your card and cooter cream sample in bryxtynnya’s halloween candy - the hubz and i tried it that same night and WOWZA! i’d like to order 15 cases plz! 😍😁😅😃😀🙃🥺😎”
Ew, this is supposed to be child-appropriate? Seven-year olds who get this crap, can read, and ask their parents about it or search up the company name—just the thought makes me nauseous. Also, implying that shaving is safe and appropriate for little kids and encouraging them to follow a BS beauty standard
Report this to Pure Romance HQ. As a company that sells 18+ targeted products, any solicitation or marketing towards or involving minors is very much against their terms of operations. I've heard they take this stuff very seriously, and this hun will definitely get the boot. See if you can find anyone else in the neighborhood that got these to do the same.
I’m trying to wrap my head around why any hun would think this is a good idea. I imagine the upline has passed on this tip to be a “gift for mom”, but guess what… Mom isn’t always taking their kids around, and their product ends up is the KID’S bag anyway. Plus the very colorful pattern makes me think it might not be just a “gift for mom”.
I'd be posting that everywhere, because marketing sex toys to elementary aged kids is not only super gross, it sends all kinds of red flags if this person has kids in their home.
Wow, desperation can make people do stupid things! She needs to be careful. There may be laws about distributing sex paraphernalia to minors or something that if someone really wanted to go after her, she could get into a LOT of trouble. It's not worth it to sell an overpriced dildo that she'll make $5 on.
I agree, this borderline seems like it very well could be a criminal offense. If I were OP, I’d contact her (because I’m sure her number is on the card) and tell her that I’m taking legal action just to scare her enough that she doesn’t pull this shit again!
I’d be dragging her ass all over NextDoor, Facebook, letter to the editor in your local newspaper, literally any way to publicly put her on blast. If it were Avon or something I’d probably just roll my eyes and be annoyed, but Pure Romance is literally an 18+ business. This is so cartoonishly inappropriate it’s actually blowing my mind. How financially deep do you have to be in it to think this is an acceptable or reasonable way to shill your sex toys and cheap lingerie??
OP, I worked in corporate for MLMs for years. Report this incident to Pure Romance’s compliance team. Include pictures, description of what happened, location and add the information that was on the card. On the subject include “Samples given to minors on Halloween by rep with phone number xxxx” They can find the person just by using the phone number and/or approximate location.
Assuming that’s her business card…I’d put her phone number on one of those “learn about solar energy” websites and relish in the fact she’ll get 20+ marketing calls a day.
The satanic panic crowd out here crying about nonexistent drugs and razor blades in the candy but they failed to realize the call was coming from inside their own house! 😱 lol
Pure Romance’s compliance and marketing team. The FTC is very clear that MLM products should not be around children. Source: I’m from Utah county and know the industry too well. 🤢
As a non-confrontational person, I would call the number and absolutely rip them a new one. Come at me with your MLM bullshit? Whatever, that’s life. You slip some pure romance shit to my child? I will bring WW3 to your fucking doorstep. You fucked around, and you about to ✌🏻find out.✌🏻
I would straight up have a FIT for giving my child something from a sex toy brand. That is absolutely disgusting and no child needs to be exposed to that. I would make sure the neighbors knew about it, too.
Post it as a PSA in your neighborhood groups. “Just wanted to remind everyone to keep an eye out for inappropriate items of different types in their kids Halloween candy! We found intimate shaving cream in our daughter’s (and if you know the street…) I think it came from a house on Smith St”.
A good friend of mine’s daughter just turned 14 and her aunt put 2 pure romance bottles of shave cream and a heart shaped “personal massager” in a gift bag for her. My mind was blown.
If you have one of those neighborhood apps or Facebook groups you should post the picture and put them on blast. Demand to know who has the nerve to give out sexual products to children. I’d try to embarrass the fuck out of them.
How dare she? This is unacceptable for an adult to hand to a child. This is just so that you can become interested in her sex toys business? Why involve you child at all? Disgusting.
I mean, if she wanted to pass these out to mom’s with their kids on Halloween, it still would have been desperate, but not as disgusting as giving them to children!
Did the genuinely think by giving this to kids that a kid was going to go home and make a purchase? Or did they hope the parents would see it and buy something? This tactic is sick and confusing
Do you know what house it came from? I would report it. They won’t do anything, but a knock in the door and some questions by the police might make the message clear that this is really disturbing
It has been reiterated before, but this needs to be reported to corporate at the very least. I've seen some tacky and questionable MLM sales tactics but this goes beyond the pale.
This is gross and it impacts a kid. It also fucks up halloween. Absolutely shaving cream their house or fork their lawn. If you have the number, call the person and record the convo.
Please update us if you posted this on Nextdoor or Facebook! This is fucked up. Definitely avoid that house next year! If you know the street the house is on you may be able to find the exact house. My city has a website where you can search addresses and see who owns the house.
Oh right, but the gays are sexualizing kids smh. That's unbelievably bad. I mean, not the worst possibility to have shaving cream. But the 'truly sexy flirt' line is actually disgusting to hand out to children
Please be respectful towards others. Any comment/post that is unnecessarily rude, vulgar, offensive or just plain disrespectful will be removed. Your post/comment has been flagged as disrespectful and therefore has been removed. Remember, people stuck in MLMs are often victims and we strive to be a place that people can come to for advice on how to get out.
Bahahaha I’ve never heard of this company before and without zooming in to read the small text on the packet, I got VERY confused about why the Halloween bag had condoms with cute packaging?! 😂😂😂 ok, it’s just MLM crap.
When I sold LOVEWINX I had special bags for the moms and dads.. they still talk about it even though I left the company but in no way would I ever give this to children
I’m disgusted in so many ways. The children did not and cannot consent to this information or this product. The adults in the homes weren’t given the option of consent. What if the adults in the home are SA survivors? What if they’re sex addicts and are triggered? What if it’s the home of someone that is deeply religious and abstains?

What is wrong with people? I swear...
Do you have a neighborhood Facebook page or NextDoor? I'd put it on there so they are appropriately shamed.
Great idea! Going on NextDoor!
Lol my NextDoor group is full of savages. They would have her address for you in .00002 seconds and also her FB page, phone number, SSN, as well as a screenshot from a neighbor's security cam posted in less than 5 min. So yes, I would 100% post this to NextDoor 😂💁♀️
100%. Go on a mom group, use the word “grooming,” and watch the fur fly.
I'd definitely call the number on the business card and give the hun an earful about sexualizing children. Sounds very predatory.
Hopefully others did, not that OP doesn't have a right to complain too.
Dial *67 and then the full 10-digit phone number so it goes thru as Unknown Caller
Also should blow this up on twitter to pure romance themselves. Hashtag grooming. Ask if they encourage/support this
Normally I wouldn't advocate for egging someone's house, but....
This advice probably won't work for a lot of reasons, but if you knew which house it was and they had an HOA, you could absolutely get them in big trouble.

You’re 💯 correct!!!!
Oh noooo grossss!!!! And I swear they are capable of giving away Easter eggs with lube to kids with their business cards🤮🤮🤮🤮
And here we were thinking everyone was getting fentanyl and ecstasy for Halloween and all we get is chocolate and shave cream? What a rip off!
Don't forget about the cannabis candy and razor blades!
“Sexy” and “flirt” are two fucking words that need to stay the fuck away from kids candy. So fucking predatory.
And here I thought my toddlers and teenagers getting colorstreet samples was ridiculous. I will count us lucky for sure!
Oh we had a pure romance hun who used to do this on Halloween too! Key words being "used to" because one year she ended up handing it out to the wrong kid and the dad managed to track her down and ended up showing up to her house and threatening to beat the shit out of her because he thought the hun was trying to groom his kid or something. She stopped doing it after that.
Could they just leave the sex toy, oils and creams to consenting adults!!!?? For me this people are the perverts that I would avoid at all costs.
The hero we all need!!
This is so sick. Who does this?
I think it’s some of both. A certain sort of personality is attract to MLMs to begin with then the pressure exacerbates it and they go nuts
I would report her to Pure Romance. I'm sure they don't want to be seen as encouraging their sex "specialists" marketing to children.
i wonder if this tactic has EVER worked for a single hun in existence? “hi karen, i saw your card and cooter cream sample in bryxtynnya’s halloween candy - the hubz and i tried it that same night and WOWZA! i’d like to order 15 cases plz! 😍😁😅😃😀🙃🥺😎”

What if the kid didn’t know what it was and they ate it? They could’ve poisoned someone!
Report this to Pure Romance HQ. As a company that sells 18+ targeted products, any solicitation or marketing towards or involving minors is very much against their terms of operations. I've heard they take this stuff very seriously, and this hun will definitely get the boot. See if you can find anyone else in the neighborhood that got these to do the same.
I think Rainbow Fentanyl would have been an better gift them sex toys and lube
I’m trying to wrap my head around why any hun would think this is a good idea. I imagine the upline has passed on this tip to be a “gift for mom”, but guess what… Mom isn’t always taking their kids around, and their product ends up is the KID’S bag anyway. Plus the very colorful pattern makes me think it might not be just a “gift for mom”.
This is way out of line, vile behavior
I would make a complaint to the company too!
Normally I would never admit this but…I know someone really high up in Pure Romance.
I'd be posting that everywhere, because marketing sex toys to elementary aged kids is not only super gross, it sends all kinds of red flags if this person has kids in their home.
Good grief....stooping to an all new level of low! Just gross.
Wow, desperation can make people do stupid things! She needs to be careful. There may be laws about distributing sex paraphernalia to minors or something that if someone really wanted to go after her, she could get into a LOT of trouble.

And people were worried about Marijuana gummies. This is way worse 😅
I’d be dragging her ass all over NextDoor, Facebook, letter to the editor in your local newspaper, literally any way to publicly put her on blast. If it were Avon or something I’d probably just roll my eyes and be annoyed, but Pure Romance is literally an 18+ business. This is so cartoonishly inappropriate it’s actually blowing my mind.

How on earth would the be blacklisted from all other MLMs? They don’t share a database of idiots nor would they want to for financial reason.
Assuming that’s her business card…I’d put her phone number on one of those “learn about solar energy” websites and relish in the fact she’ll get 20+ marketing calls a day.
Honestly…. I’m torn between wanting this person reported or smacked upside the head….
Why not both?
The satanic panic crowd out here crying about nonexistent drugs and razor blades in the candy but they failed to realize the call was coming from inside their own house! 😱 lol
This is worse than the fictional weed laced candy.
Is there anyone you might could report this to? This is highly inappropriate.
Pure Romance’s compliance and marketing team. The FTC is very clear that MLM products should not be around children. Source: I’m from Utah county and know the industry too well. 🤢
In no manner is this OK
I mean, you could go tell the mom to go fuck herself but ...
No, there is no risk of people leaving drugs in your kids candy. However you do have to risk Pure Romance huns leaving sex toys in your kids candy.
I’d rather someone give my kid THC gummies than a sex toy ad, good lord!
I guarantee that these Huns are also the same people cOnCErnEd aBouT GroOmiNg chILdreN!
And accusing LGBTQ+ people
Ew
As a non-confrontational person, I would call the number and absolutely rip them a new one. Come at me with your MLM bullshit? Whatever, that’s life. You slip some pure romance shit to my child? I will bring WW3 to your fucking doorstep. You fucked around, and you about to ✌🏻find out.✌🏻
I’d call and complain to the Pure Romance corporate office. Huns have been “fired” for much less.
Those are the same women scared of drug dealers putting drugs in their children’s bags smh
Ugh this is so cringe. People shilling out MLM crap on Halloween. Wtf.
Omg that is wildly inappropriate!
Where is Maude Flanders? Won't somebody think of the children???
I think it was Helen Lovejoy who was always asking people to think of the children.
Absolutely
This should also be reported to the companies home office.
I would straight up have a FIT for giving my child something from a sex toy brand. That is absolutely disgusting and no child needs to be exposed to that. I would make sure the neighbors knew about it, too.
My daughter didn’t get drugs OR sex grooming items in her candy. Feeling left out. 😂
This is worse than the whole drugs in the candy hoax
Post it as a PSA in your neighborhood groups. “Just wanted to remind everyone to keep an eye out for inappropriate items of different types in their kids Halloween candy! We found intimate shaving cream in our daughter’s (and if you know the street…) I think it came from a house on Smith St”.
A good friend of mine’s daughter just turned 14 and her aunt put 2 pure romance bottles of shave cream and a heart shaped “personal massager” in a gift bag for her. My mind was blown.
I would have DIED from the embarrassment
That has sex offender written all over it. I would report it.
call corporate and report it, it actually goes against the rules, not allowed to hand out anything to minors ever
But drag queens are the problem… SMH
I would call the police. Handing out sexual stuff to a child is no doubt an offense.
If you have one of those neighborhood apps or Facebook groups you should post the picture and put them on blast. Demand to know who has the nerve to give out sexual products to children. I’d try to embarrass the fuck out of them.
How dare she? This is unacceptable for an adult to hand to a child. This is just so that you can become interested in her sex toys business? Why involve you child at all? Disgusting.
🤮🤮🤮
I would ask if she knows what house this is from/post on your community FB. This is so inappropriate.
What the actual fuck???? What if your baby had unfettered access to the internet???? No. Hell, no.
I mean, if she wanted to pass these out to mom’s with their kids on Halloween, it still would have been desperate, but not as disgusting as giving them to children!
Oh I’d be showing up at her house to talk.
That’s fucking disgusting, they have no shame
Did the genuinely think by giving this to kids that a kid was going to go home and make a purchase? Or did they hope the parents would see it and buy something? This tactic is sick and confusing
Well shit, that’s wildly inappropriate!
And they say gay ppl and drug dealers are the ones preying on kids
Eww
🤢
Pls keep us updated because this is SO not okay.
That's so fucking inappropriate. Oh my god. I'd go to their page and blast them so goddamn hard. I'm talking reports the whole way through the upline.
Can't fool me, definitely fentanyl
Do you know what house it came from? I would report it. They won’t do anything, but a knock in the door and some questions by the police might make the message clear that this is really disturbing
That's worse than razor blades!
It has been reiterated before, but this needs to be reported to corporate at the very least. I've seen some tacky and questionable MLM sales tactics but this goes beyond the pale.
NOT a good idea for Halloween trick or treating.
Now that’s just wrong. That borders on sexually grooming children. I would egg that hun’s house if that were my kid.
Who would hand that out to children?
We need THE NAME of said "flirty ambassador"
This is gross and it impacts a kid. It also fucks up halloween. Absolutely shaving cream their house or fork their lawn. If you have the number, call the person and record the convo.
trashy
Please put her on blast in the neighborhood groups and report her to corporate for inappropriate behavior.
Oh gosh I saw the caption in the notif and was already ticked enough, but when I saw the picture and noticed it was Pure Romance I was horrified.
I got a few bags with people putting one tiny candy in there and then a pamphlet of their business and the business card.
Please update us if you posted this on Nextdoor or Facebook! This is fucked up. Definitely avoid that house next year! If you know the street the house is on you may be able to find the exact house. My city has a website where you can search addresses and see who owns the house.
Definitely contact Pure Romance!! This is NOT ok!!
Oh right, but the gays are sexualizing kids smh. That's unbelievably bad. I mean, not the worst possibility to have shaving cream. But the 'truly sexy flirt' line is actually disgusting to hand out to children
These are no doubt the same people in a panic about groomers
At least it wasn't some of the devil's lettuce

What in the world?!? Whyyyyyy
I'm glad it's not a coochie cream sample, but still, so inappropriate! Children aren't shaving anything.
aw man, pure romance is an MLM??? i got samples from some lady at pride. damn
Wtf
I audibly gasped. Wtf??
I mean, it is trick or treat …
worse than finding razor blades
THAT IS SO INAPPROPRIATE OH MY GOSH
Bahahaha I’ve never heard of this company before and without zooming in to read the small text on the packet, I got VERY confused about why the Halloween bag had condoms with cute packaging?! 😂😂😂 ok, it’s just MLM crap.
When I sold LOVEWINX I had special bags for the moms and dads.. they still talk about it even though I left the company but in no way would I ever give this to children
On what planet would anybody ever think this is okay????
Look I'm no prude but this infuriates me. I would lose my cool if someone gave this to my kid.
So that’s who’s tampering with the Halloween candy!
If it was a shampoo or body soap it'd be kinda weird but okay, this is just f-ed up
Oh that is tacky as hell! Huns for "Pure Romance" truly have no shame.
Wth
Wtf
At least it wasn’t lube sample, right?
WAAAT
So wrong on so many levels......
Well THATS not okay…
Awww how nice! They gave you some extra kindling for the fire!
WTF?!? like WTF even is pure romance?!? I ask as until now I’d never heard of this business
I’d take it back to her and say, “You really shouldn’t be putting trash in kids’ trick-or-treat bags.”
Wow does this make me uncomfortable!
I’m disgusted in so many ways. The children did not and cannot consent to this information or this product. The adults in the homes weren’t given the option of consent. What if the adults in the home are SA survivors? What if they’re sex addicts and are triggered? What if it’s the home of someone that is deeply religious and abstains?
Then everyone clapped
