Snag tights

I could live without the collar bit round her neck, but the rest looks fine to me

I don’t really see the problem with that picture, I think she looks rather marvellous

Ok, I was speaking for myself and perhaps women on this thread.

I've seen loads of posts on here in the past saying that people do object to larger ladies posting pictures like that.

No one objects to provocative pictures that feature bigger women. It's the provocative pictures that are the issue.

Have we had this picture yet?

They also sell harness bottoms and tops separately. Fetish is gonna fetish I guess

It's a woman with mastectomy scars wearing trans striped leggings. The crutch is because her bones are crumbling through lack of oestrogen/too much testosterone

So the usual "we're inclusive as long as you think like us"?.

Has anyone seen the update from Snag on Instagram?

Guys the black character is a man. Which is fine, like "men can wear our tights too!" But why the crutches?

Personally I'd never go to Ann Summers or look on their website because they are a sex shop, and I'm not remotely interested in what they consider "sexy". They don't advertise as anything else.

Snag tights come up as advertising hard wearing good quality colourful tights. No-one's expecting the level of sexualised imagery from that start. Hence the criticism.

I’ve found their “chub rub” shorts to be ok, but I don’t actually get “chub rub” so maybe that’s why? I just like under a dress to feel a little less vulnerable in a way. Although they weren’t very well made 😆

But I totally agree regarding their constant porny ads. I muted/blocked them a while ago on social media. So many people want to scream about consent whilst also trampling other people’s boundaries.

Yeah 'crumbling bones' wasn't okay and very disablist

The OP was criticising the fact the had someone ‘with crumbling bones’ on the advert.

There's just something sitting uncomfortably here for me that there isn't an equal post slating Ann Summers for selling sexual clothes to slimmer women.

It's the fact that you can't buy an every day, usually unsexualised product like tights via their website, without being confronted by dozens of upskirting images, that is weird. Ironically, the photos they use for actual underwear are a lot less sexualised - those feature a range of sizes, but without the upskirting and the porny angles they use for tights.

I don’t get Ann Summers ads for fetish harnesses all over my Facebook page or when browsing MN, though. If I did I’d be complaining about them too.

IIRC they did have some pictures of men in tights. As in bearded men, not transwomen. It looked ridiculous.

Perhaps the reason their good products (the black leggings) have not been in stock for ages is because they prefer to cater to the larger woman fetish market.

I dunno - I happen to like some of the more sexual stuff. It's not easy to find such outfits when you are big. I'm not sure where you draw the line with what's ok. Some women are sexual, some fat women are sexual, some fat women like to be dressed in a bondage style. There's just something sitting uncomfortably here for me that there isn't an equal post slating Ann Summers for selling sexual clothes to slimmer women.

I looked at the snag website to see what the harness was.
Also noted one of the items (tights I think) has the colour name “suffragette purple” 🤣

I thought their USP was that they had tights in a whole load of sizes (inc. for different heights), not just for the obese?

Apologies if I'm wrong.

Big difference between catering to larger sizes and fetishwear, “harnesses”, no? I mean, Boden cater to thin yummy mummies, but you don’t see their catalogue looking like Ann Summers. And Bravissimo seem to have managed to sell bras and pants for bigger sizes for years without going large on the crotchless knickers and bdsm-lite.

Exactly. Wasn't that originally theirs usp? That they catered to larger sizes.

But their target market ARE people who are morbidly obsess (I'm only pounds away from it myself) why on earth wouldn't they show that?

What do you suggest- that fat people don't wear clothes so as not to promote it?

This makes no sense. Harnesses are fashionable? Yet this somehow isn’t porn-adjacent? Yeah, right. What a load of old porn-apologist bollocks.

Yes I also dislike this. Body positivity is fine, we shouldn't just have six 4/6 models. But nor should we have models who are morbidly obese - for exactly the same reason we shouldn't have size 0, both are body types which are incredibly unhealthy and life shortening.
