A mum has sparked a debate on social media after she discovered an unusual feature inside one of her drawers.

The woman, from New South Wales, asked fellow parents for an explanation after she couldn’t work out what the pull-out drawer rack featuring eight removable rods was used for.

‘Can anyone tell me what this is? I’m probably going to feel so dumb, but I have no idea – could be lack of sleep. It’s in a bedroom built in wardrobe,’ the mum wrote in a Facebook group.

Many quickly pointed out the rack is commonly used for hanging pants.

A mum has sparked a debate on social media after she discovered an unusual wardrobe feature inside one of her drawers 

‘Took me a moment to think about it too as I’ve never seen anything like it before either. I would say it’s for pants, shorts and maybe skirts or could even be for scarfs,’ one woman wrote.

While another added: ‘That is to hang your pants, keeping it more organised.’

But some suggested the drawer appeared ‘too low’ to hang pants.

‘Just seems too low to hang anything… maybe it’s for bras and socks?’ one wrote, while another added: ‘I would have said for hanging pants on but it’s too low.’

And one said: ‘I have a pants hanger in my wardrobe and it ain’t that tiny – the depth from drawer to shelf is only big enough for board shorts.’

However, many suggested the mum can switch the drawers around so the pants can hang higher up in the wardrobe without them touching the ground.

‘I agree it’s for pants and maybe the previous owner just swapped the drawers around rather than use it,’ one wrote.

And another said: ‘Take the shelf out and it is probably the right height.’ 

Many said the rack was perfect for storing skirts, shorts, belts, jewellery, neck ties or handbags.

While others joked about the ‘mystery’ feature, with some suggesting it’s for storing wrapping paper or ‘spaghetti making’.

The mum later thanked everyone for their suggestions as she confirmed: ‘I think my favourite answer is hanging bras from.’
