To never ever buy from Snag again?

@NotMyTights that would have been a good response and might have continued buying from them. After all, you can't agree on everything. But that patronising load of shit!! Obviously Brie decided she would 'educate' us all. And the comments are full of 'oh choking is great mumsnet is totally poisonous' and Snag agreeing .. of course a forum for women should just be totally disregarded as poisonous. Fucking brainless wonders.

Yep, I think it might well have been here that I heard of them and decided to give them a go. I think a lot of 21 year olds who want to be super cool would look at the photos - on their main site - and be put off by the number of fat people. I'm not saying that all 21 year olds are like that but people who want to attract a young audience tend to highlight the skinny. One of the things I liked about Snag was the different shapes and sizes of models they used.

They might not think that people like us are/were an important customer but we are/were and they will be sorry when they lose us in droves. I'm talking to all of my friends about them too. It will spread and they will lose an awful lot of custom. What a shame they decided that offensive stickers were their hill to die on.

'They do not care if listeners to woman's hour don't like their company or products. You are not their audience or market.

You know who wants to have a badge that says 'Choke Me'? 21 year olds who want to feel like they are rebelling against the world. Middle aged mumsnet users not liking it is only going to make the products more attractive,'

Their bread and butter is comfy tights for fat people, a staple wardrobe item for middle aged mums. MN was hugely behind the early popularity of Snag! There was a long thread during Covid when they asked people to order tights they wouldn't get for ages to keep the company afloat. Everyone was supporting Snag then. 21 year olds and blokes aren't going to keep a tights company afloat.

'Have we any evidence ANY of this is in public?

Any of these badges spotted in the local Tesco?

Didnt think so.'

Do you think people are sewing them to their pyjamas?

Oh very good Snag! You're so inclusive...of everyone except mumsnetters. Got it.

Hee hee. Got them all in a tizz.

not wanting women to die in “rough sex gone wrong” defences is not “kink shaming”. these people are so open minded their brains have fallen out.

we’ll take our dreadful tainted, bigoted money elsewhere

It works for me. It just links to the same statement as on Instagram, but posted on their Facebook page.

That’s strange.

It was a link to the Snag FB page, it was working earlier but isn’t now.

Yeah. Don't give these folks your money. Well done for highlighting this shitshow OP.

Oh FFS! 🙄

I have only ever bought 2 pairs of snag tights but the shorts, both we awful, considering I ordered 2 pairs completely the same when they came they were both completely different, one pair too small the other too big, 1 pair was really thin I put my fingers through them, and one pair was really long!
so over rated and far too expensive, another company taking advantage of the bigger sized ladies

👏👏

Also Brie if you're reading this and think we've been scathing, do pop over to Tattle and have a read.

Excellent response @NotMyTights

Their disdain at mumsnet is dripping with misogyny

I should think they have a stock response to this kind of thing, and no interest whatsoever beyond enjoying the free publicity.

They are a business, not a public service. They want to sell what people will buy 🤷‍♀️.

Plenty of people will buy this stuff, some more will buy it now because they weren’t aware of it being sold there before. A few people will stop buying from there, but the majority won’t care either way and will continue to buy or not as they usually do.

It's very corporate. The comments section their rep is less polite. I do think that when they say they are open to discussion they mean they want to railroad people into agreeing with them though.

I don't understand why they, as a supposedly women positive company, would condone sexual violence.

Have they been polite?

I applaud them for that response. Many would and do go off on the deep end and take followers with them, but they've been polite, explained their side and left it open. Neither side has to agree with each other. It's ok to not agree, and I think some of their followers on the comments section need to realise this.

You can have an opinion, accept others have theirs and peacefully coexist in that knowledge.

But how is that directly linked to products sold on a NSFW adult site?

It isnt.

Porn imagery in public is not new, not even in the slightest.
