Is there a way to block/ban certain adverts?

Right now I'm getting adverts for men's underwear, with close-ups of their groins being flashed at me from the sidebar.

Other times I've had 'adult' clothing adverts - again with close-ups - popping up.

I'm a 50 year old woman who is monumentally disinterested in male underwear or nipple tassles.

Also - I'm a teacher. Sometimes I have MN open on a tab when I'm at work (I keep a lot of tabs open ALL the time). Luckily, I haven't YET made the mistake of clicking on MN as I project something in front of a class, but the possibility is there. I wouldn't want them to see the barely clothed close-ups of intimate body parts that are currently annoying the hell out of me.

fwiw, no amount of groin pics will make me buy a certain brand of underwear.

Is there anything I can do to block these ads?

Sorry to hear this, OP - how annoying! Can you please tell how you're accessing Mumsnet - which device and browser you're using, and whether you're on the desktop site or the app?

Once we have that information, we can forward it to our ad team to have a look. Screenshots of the offending ads would also be marvellous too, so we can see what you're seeing

Hopefully we can find out what's happening asap and get it sorted for you so you can access MN at work without fear again.

Thanks so much.

Hi there OP,

Next time you get the ads come up, could you please get the clickstring for us? You can find this by switching off the internet, clicking on the ad, and copying and pasting the link.
