Am I being prudish, or do I have a point?

Oh wow 😂 maybe they'll send you a Specsavers voucher op 🫢

You thought her elbow was a hanging boob? That’s so funny.

The image is fine and YABU.

OMFG this thread is getting better and better by the minute😂

Some of us perfectly grown-up women like a bit of colour. Since when is pastel leopard print a toddler item? 😂

Can I introduce you to brands like "Scamp and Dude", or "rainbows and sprinkles" which can't be accused of being a porn supplier.

I am middle age, and I wear biker jackets, smart suits or unicorn leggings if I want to!

It definitely smacks of encouraging grown women to cosplay as underage girls for men of extremely dubious taste.

What?! Me wearing hot pink knickers with stars on encourages me to do absolutely nothing.

The only thing putting me off is the price. I'm not paying £18 for a pair of pants!

What am I even reading, why would anyone assume that was a teenager, or that was a breast, with a nipple. I mean good grief,

Honestly imagine working for this company and receiving op's email 🙄😂

@User776532 I'm not saying those sites don't exist (puke) but I have friends in their forties who dress in this cutesie style - for themselves. Not for cosplay or the gratification of anyone else. I am really happy that those clothes exist in accessible sizes for her.

How ridiculous. Why can't grown women like colours and patterns?

At a quick glance I thought it was a boob too - I wonder if they realised.

From what you’ve said so far, I think you did the right thing. It seems it was unnecessary to send that particular image to customers (given that the company could easily add a bra), so it seems it was done because either ‘sex sells’ or for the shock effect. If it’s done because ‘sex sells’ then presumably the image is mainly aimed at men and so it seems a bit yuck to be sending images where the model ‘looks’ like a teenager (even if, in fact, she is older than this).

Of COURSE it’s fine for the model herself to do these photos regardless of her shape or
size, but that’s not the issue here - it’s more to do with the company’s motivation behind sending the image in emails and the implications.

I likely wouldn’t have noticed the image nor been too bothered about it but I’m glad you did and were; so I think you were right to send that email. Maybe the company in question will choose their images more carefully in future.

@mollymazda sorry if I 'triggered' you.

They do indeed put bearded men in tights. They use grossly overweight models as a kink. They sold badges bigging up choking.

So perhaps educate yourself on what Snag actually do before getting yourself in a woke type tizz

I am not offended

I am just pointed out the hypocrisis and double standards

If I had started a thread complaining about the "rolls" on the other woman's body (your words), you can see how quickly it would have been deleted for fat-shaming.

Women "too thin so she looks like a teenager" on the other hand 🙄

It's embarrassing that women (or anyone) can feel smugly allowed to make such nasty judgements.

I was going to vote YABU due to "thin" being conflated with underage. However I had a look at their website and I find it very disturbing that they're selling knickers with incredibly childish prints and colours for grown women. Pink with stars, pastel leopard print, hot pink with rainbow spots. WTF. That same style of underwear is literally only sold in toddler, girls and teenage sections in mainstream stores.

It definitely smacks of encouraging grown women to cosplay as underage girls for men of extremely dubious taste. Without going into too much detail, there are multiple porn categories where actresses wear children's knickers with cute patterns and designs to make them appear like teens (or worse). That brand seems to be playing heavily into the market under the guise of being comfortable or sustainable. No other lingerie company offers adult size knickers with those sort of kiddy designs on them.

OMG it's an elbow.
Absolutely giggling at myself for being too myopic to see that properly FFS

I know. I think what you said was fine. I'm pretty sure most people presented with that image would suggest she is a younger woman.
Of course we all know that plenty of older women are slim, but looking at her skin, she is clearly not in her 50s.

No, just send them a link to this thread 😂

I hadn't seen that when I replied.

I am not sure why the police would be bothered if a FEMALE has marketing material on their phone about bog standard FEMALE underwear 🙄

I might even have things about male underwear on my phone and I am a woman.

I mean, I know some people thought elbows were sexy but this takes it to a new level

Never read such nonsense.

She's bloody not though

Thing is, most of us just glance at images and draw (ahem) our own conclusions as to what we see. We rarely look at them with the scrutiny that we've been doing on this thread. So OP, if you saw that and thought it was nip, plenty of other people would do the same. AND cropping out the face did sort of de-qge the woman.

I think you've done the right thing in pointing it out. They're obviously a responsible company and will not want to seem to be showing pictures of teenagers' breasts, even though they're actually not. So you've given them a chance to change it, AND to turn this thread's exposure into something positive.

Don't know your boob from your elbow? 😂

She’s already said she’s a lesbian and therefore I assume a woman.

Well I voted YABU as I viewed the picture before voting.

You complained to a company that you could see the elbow of an adult woman 🤦🏻‍♀️
This thread will have to go down in the mumsnet annals of bizarre posts.

N.B, op, that is annals, as in “historical records”. Not a sex act 🤣
