Shoppers were left confused by the latest Aldi bargain which is to be used on your 'middle aisle'. A shopper took a picture of the label, which read: "Perineum Spray" – a 75ml product priced down from £2.99 to £1.99.
Ellie Gibson posted the picture on Twitter, and commented: "After all this time the middle aisles of Aldi continues to surprise and delight."
One user commented about how "specific" the spray's usage was, saying: "Very specific. Not one inch to towards the bow or stern. Amidships only me hearties," reports The Mirror.
One person suggested it might be used as a fragrance, jokingly commenting: "Lynx Down Under?"

However, one person decided to educate everyone, writing: "It's for helping to prevent tears during labour, and heal them afterwards."
The Perineum Spray is part of Aldi's Mum To Be range, which is "designed to keep the body soothed and hydrated both during and after pregnancy".
On Aldi's website, it explains: "Created with lavender and tea tree oil, the Step Ahead Mum to Be Perineum Spray is designed to soothe perineal areas after birth.
"The dermatologically tested formulation cools and relieves soreness and discomfort, while supporting the skin’s natural healing process."
The perineum is the area of skin and muscle that provides support to the pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in sexual function, childbirth, and continence. The perineum can be stretched and can tear during childbirth.
