To think the way these nightdresses are advertised is creepy...

[GeppaGip]

I am starting to collate things I will need for my hospital bag when I go in to have DC2 in Dec. I am looking for a couple of cheap nightdresses so went to Amazon to look at what they have and sorted by price.

I came across these and just think the way they are presented is really quite creepy and unsavoury. I am not normally a prude but AIBU?

Specifically, the way the girl is made up to look about 8 and the bedroom around her is full of toys, cuddly toys and just looks like a little girl's bedroom (in case anyone wasn't sure wtf I was on about.

Very creepy. Toys in the background? What's that about?

The toys are a bit creepy... teddy bears wouldn't have been so bad, but the wooden nursery toys are...

Other than that, I guess they were going to the Japanese-style Lolita-thing trend, perhaps?

It is weird, I thought it wasn't that bad as some women do have teddies etc but not many have a wooden rocking reindeer!

why is it creepy? Its kind of clear that that particular sort of nightdress isn't really the sort you would sleep in (or give birth in, can imagine the midwifes face though LOL)

no you are not

why worry if you are seen as a prude, she has been made to look like a young girl

i am going to report this to amazon

x post, hold up I didn't even notice toys.. going to have another look

I have just realised my amazon recommendations are going to be tainted by the love making get up!

Maybe she's supposed to be a sexy mum? Clutching at straws

err yeah the toys are a bit weird.

Haha yes I wasn't planning to buy it for hospital. Think my parents and in-laws would pass out when they came to see the new baby.

I clicked on it out of curiosity because I honestly thought the main picture was of a little girl and was shocked. Then when I saw the other pictures I realised that it was pretty gross. TO be perfectly honest, it looks to me like the advert is promoting the fantasy of paedophilia. I may be unreasonable but that is how it comes across to me.

Anyone fancy doing a review?

Yuck, the model is as near to sucking her thumb in her cot as she can be without actually sucking her thumb in her cot. Vile.

i have reported it to amazon

I've had a nose at their other stuff and I think that they took a load of photos of the same girl in one of those 'set houses' and its just that she is in a child's bedroom in this one.

There are lots of other ones of her doing the same sorts of poses in other rooms.

It looks like pretty standard stuff for Japan and Japanese-influenced other parts of E Asia to me: adult women posing with cute, child-like expressions, fluffy toys etc. That doesn't mean it isn't a bit creepy, but the whole Loli-con fashion thing is very widespread.

Yeah really weird my husband thinks it's really creepy too

I've reported too

Ugh that is vile. I didn't really think anything of it until I looked at the background but that is clearly a childs bedroom. looks like some mumsnetters have left reviews, good work!

received reply from amazon they are looking into it :) maybe with others reporting it too it will be take off

I know the Lolita thing is popular in some parts of Asia doesn't mean we should accept it

It's disgusting, even if it is a popular trend, the trend is disgusting. There is a lot of this going on, some isn't as obvious as this though. Glad to see the two reviews

Cosplay. Some of which is OK. Some of which is pretty vile.

I've complained too, I'm in a chat with one of the Amazon people now. All this company's products seem to be advertised by very young looking models.

I don't think it's particularly creepy, as the woman is clearly not a child.

It's so creepy but men that like girly sweetheart. Underwear are a bit creepy to me too. I once had a boyfriend buy me 'sexy' love heart pink underwear I was totally turned off by it and thought why do you want me to dress up like a little girl! Weird!
