AIBU to boycott Fridababy?

It seems Fridababy’s marketing has become totally inappropriate and replete with sexual innuendos that are frankly stomach churning… this post took my breath away… I don’t think I can buy anything from them again and tbh I now question the retailers that carry their products. Needless to say it seems men are responsible for the new GENIUS (not) branding.

Omg such offensive advertising 🤮

KimuraTan · 12/02/2026 23:07

Vile. Can you complain to advertising standards? A threesome mention complete with a thermometer and a baby‘s butt… Absolutely 🤮

TheGoldenApplesOfTheSun · 12/02/2026 23:10

Uggh. I wonder if it's written by AI? It reads oddly. The swiss army knife comparison is also weird.

Also why would you want a thermometer that can go up the baby's bum and then into their mouth?? In what universe are you switching between those uses for one thermometer? No amount of wiping or washing would be enough 🤢

lemondropsandchimneytops · 12/02/2026 23:21

What. The. Fuck.

BlackCatDiscoClub · 12/02/2026 23:22

Can you screenshot and share? I dont have access to x

TheFairyCaravan · 12/02/2026 23:24

That’s vile.

Who authorised that?

FunnyOrca · 12/02/2026 23:28

I am already boycotting due to the stupid refills for the electric nail file, but this is just gross and so wildly inappropriate! 🤢

Gabbycat245 · 12/02/2026 23:32

Omg, that's vile!

m00ngirl · 13/02/2026 00:32

I feel sick. This is a selection of it. I’ve marked the worst one as sensitive here. Beyond sick. 🤮 Something needs to be done

The images are under review but you can see them via the link I sent. I’m so disturbed by this. This world is doomed.

YANBU, it’s absolutely gross! Awful.

WelcometomyUnderworld · 13/02/2026 11:11

I was fully ready to say they’re marketing to parents who have obviously had sex and not babies so YABU. Then I read the threesome comment and I’m absolutely horrified (as someone who is very rarely concerned about stuff like this).

MuddyPawsIndoors · 13/02/2026 11:18

OMG very few things actually shock me but I'm actually speechless.

How is that not against advertising standards??

Not sure about the world being doomed but have you reported to the ASA?

minipie · 13/02/2026 11:21

That is a massive marketing fail. What idiot thought that up?

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 13/02/2026 11:24

We got given those fridababy baby bum whistles by a friend .
my dh and I were aligned that we werent anally assaulting our newborn and doing bicycle legs to relieve wind was just fine

m00ngirl · 13/02/2026 11:42

I haven’t reported them but I think someone / a children’s rights group with the capacity to really should. Apparently Frida is now deleting their social posts… what they should be doing is sacking all staff responsible and apologising?!

That's horrific. Disgusting.

BringBackCatsEyes · 13/02/2026 11:59

I can’t see the images unless I have X (I don’t)

I don't either but I can still see them.

I wonder if it depends on your browser or something?

TallulahBetty · 13/02/2026 13:34

Gross, and I am not easily offended by marketing

🤷‍♀️
I’m on the app (iPhone). Seems like I don’t really want to see them anyway!

Blarn · 13/02/2026 13:54

That's horrendous.

Oh right, I'm on desktop.

But no, I'm sure you can get the gist anyway.

TikTokker · 13/02/2026 14:04

That’s shocking
