Other customers were also disturbed by the products.
Joe Ellis, 36, from Colmbrook in Surrey, who has two young children aged three and four, said: 'They can be seen as funny but I find them offensive.
'They are on shelves right next to the kids' presents and either of my two children could just pick them up and ask me what they are.
'I do think it's wrong, I think they should be moved to a different part of the store.'
Calling the products a 'bit of fun', a Bhs spokesman said: 'You could go to any shop in the country and find something that is not for you.
'If we have upset anybody then we are sorry.'
