Tom Daley to be new face of Pampers

Women have never been good enough to be the face of a brand. But in a brave and stunning move for equality , Pampers have picked Daley and Black as perfect brand ambassadors

I was marveling that someone called their child 'Tomorrow' Grin

Have Pampers ever had a 'face' before? All their adverts are usually about babies aren't they? So is this the first same sex brand ambassador for Pampers or their first male ambassador or just their first ambassador?

Neshoma · 23/08/2018 05:32

I look at it this way, they have so much money i doubt either of them have ever changed a nappy. That's what nannies are for isn't it?.

Why not some generic father?

What?

OrchidInTheSun · 23/08/2018 05:37

Of the brand I meant. Pampers have never used celebs to endorse them before have they?

So we will get adverts of men changing nappies? Good as there are still some men who refuse to change their kids' nappies.

user1471426142 · 23/08/2018 05:57

Jessica Ennis did pampers adds a while back-can’t remember other celebs doing them.

Iknowwhoyouare123 · 23/08/2018 05:58

Paula Radcliffe, Chrissy Teigen, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Ellis Bextor...all Pampers.

OrchidInTheSun · 23/08/2018 06:02

Really? Clearly don't pay enough attention to their ads. I can only remember babies

I’m another one who thought they named the wee tike Tomorrow.

GetAwayFromHer · 23/08/2018 06:22

Well done to Daley and hubby for their money and beauty

Tomorrow can be shortened to Tom. So possibly a good choice?

Neshoma · 23/08/2018 06:30

Should be a good money spinner, hopefully Tom can 'dive' right into it!!

(Actually I really like Tom. I remember his documentaries with his dad years ago.)

Except when Pampers show gay parents, that apparently warrants a thread to criticise them.

Personally I agree with PP- the more Dads are shown doing childcare, the better.

LostInShoebiz · 23/08/2018 06:35

Maybe you should ask to have this thread removed since you were totally incorrect and it’s likely to attract a good few spiteful posts as the day goes on.

Well it's interesting, because we didn't see Paula Radcliffe's not-so-famous husband in that advert. Or Sophie ellis Bextor's semi-famous husband. So actually I'd like to see me doing childcare on adverts where there isn't a convenient woman to do it for them.

GetAwayFromHer · 23/08/2018 06:36

men doing childcare

Indeed. I'd thought the same thing myself. I hope the next one has a straight bloke doing the nappy changing as well.

GetAwayFromHer · 23/08/2018 06:52

I agree. I am seeing this from a woman's perspective. Lovely to have a gay couple. But since we don't have equality for women it's all to lovely fluffy and virtue signalling to have publicity hound Daley and his husband

This.

CaitlynsCat · 23/08/2018 06:52

There have been definitely plenty of female Pampers 'brand ambassadors'.

However I can't find any instances of men prior to this one, and it's a slightly odd choice IMO given the millions of heterosexual men who change nappies and the vanishingly small number of gay men who do.

DoneDisappeared · 23/08/2018 06:52

Did you mean to be homophobic? Hmm

GetAwayFromHer · 23/08/2018 06:52

too lovely

Sisgal · 23/08/2018 06:54

I can't fu*king STAND tom Daley.

StylishMummy · 23/08/2018 06:56

@Sisgal why?
Have you met him in person?
How can you have such a strong reaction to someone you've never met?

LostInShoebiz · 23/08/2018 07:00

It’s very easy Stylish. Try looking at Gary Barlow and see how you feel.
