Just enjoying a quiet Saturday night reading Mumsnet and this pops up!

YANBU: Mumsnetters are not the target market for butt plugs

YABU: I think I might buy one

That's from the mumsnet swears by section. They've got a sex subsection

feelingalittlehorse · 15/03/2025 21:31

Furious that my ads are so PG now.

The miracle of personalised ads based on IP search preferences.
Thanks for sharing this Information OP!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a Mumsnet ad. Part of their Swears By affiliated ads.

no. The mumsnet native ads are not influenced in the same way as say Google ads are

loadalaundry · 15/03/2025 21:39

I'm afraid that the adverts are related to searches and clicked links from your IP. Maybe ask your DH if he's been interested in buying one...

This cannot always be true, I had weird Temu ones for a while that showed really odd things like some weird creature with lots of legs. No one as googled that on my phone,

Why are so many people getting sex toy adverts? Where are mine MN??

You need to search for some dildos and nipple clamps. 😆

Ahhhh it's the nipple clamps I'm missing 😉

EconomyClassRockstar · 15/03/2025 21:40

Mine are for ON sneakers and a pickleball store/Caribbean island thing that keeps rotating. Both of which I have searched for lately.

butterfly0404 · 15/03/2025 21:41

I'm getting adverts for Welsh Gold jewellery - buttplug free zone here 😋

handsdownthebest · 15/03/2025 21:28

I had something pop about about a swingers event…but it quickly disappeared before I could click on it. 😂

Oh damn! 😆

In defence of the op 😁 it's an actual mn section, not a Google ad

They really should be pushing the condoms section.

handsdownthebest · 15/03/2025 22:02

BatchCookBabe · 15/03/2025 21:51

Oh damn! 😆

I should have gone searching for it 🙄

Feelinghurt2 · 16/03/2025 00:05

After having to use a suppository for the first time in my life today, which was not my finest hour and actually made me heave, I cannot understand why people would want to stick anything up their bums! Call me old fashioned 😅 😂 I just get adverts for my local garage on Mumsnet. 😂 Maybe they know a prude when they see one. Ha ha 😂

Feelinghurt2 · 16/03/2025 00:10

PS I also thought at first glance that the accompanying thread about the cost of a cleaner was part of the advert. "I pay £19 per hour in London". "Yeah this is for regular cleaning". I genuinely thought for a minute that you could get your bum cleaned by one of these contraptions for £19 an hour (but only in London). 😂

Sex toys are a really great and healthy way to enhance self pleasure and also intimacy with a partner... It isn't something to get worked up over.

As PP have said, the Brave browser is great (it also gives you YouTube premium benefits. No ads, can minimise the video and turn your screen off etc).

The ads here are often personalised, but sometimes totally random things I know for a fact I've never even typed into Google. It's not necessarily a self own on OP.

NewMagicWand · 16/03/2025 00:53

A website populated by nearly all women sounds like the ideal place to peddle sex toys.

If you're not getting worked up, you are using them wrong.

LauderSyme · 16/03/2025 02:14

Gosh, it's almost as if advertisers expect MN readers to be grown adults.

Helpmetogetoverthis · 16/03/2025 14:35

Moier · 15/03/2025 21:16

Mine show Shoes/ clothes.. because my algorithms have picked up my searches.. so someone in your household have been searching for sex toys.. we all get different adverts.

This picture came up as 'sensitive content' for me but the butt plug ad pic didn't 😁

The ads are down to your browsing history, Mumsnet don't choose the ads.

Why am I being advertised dummy's literally never searched that my youngest is 12 ffs

tinydynamine · 16/03/2025 14:55

Just wash it thoroughly when you pull it out again with a sucking, plopping noise.

The ads on here are in no way related to browsing history
