Honest to god if I accidentally open that SHEIN advert once more

You only have to BREATHE in the same direction as the SHEIN avert as you’re reading a thread and it bloody hysterically inserts itself and you into a new tab. I hate it! Other adverts don’t react like this so why do they have to?

It happens to me too. So annoying!

Hi OP

Please can you share a screenshot of the advert? We'd like to take a closer look.

DrFoxtrot · 14/11/2025 22:01

It’s just happened to me again!

Omg this!!!!! I might be weird but I sometimes use reading Mumsnet to get to sleep and last night I was constantly clicking on that bloody advert!

Aparecium · 14/11/2025 22:58

Yes, far too sensitive. It’s always a Shein ad, not necessarily the same one.

AutumnOcean · 14/11/2025 23:00

Yes! It's so annoying.

GrandHighVitch · 14/11/2025 23:01

Same. It’s driving me mad.

TartanMammy · 14/11/2025 23:02

I just moaned at dp about this yesterday! I think it's because it leaps straight to the shein app as well and it takes and age to get off it and back to Mumsnet. None of the other ads do this.

WeekendInNewEngland · 14/11/2025 23:19

Yep, I’ve just done it twice in five minutes. It’s far too sensitive and very annoying, as well as being a horrible company.

HumbleWarrior · 14/11/2025 23:20

Yup, same.

I already hated Shein with a passion and I hate them a bit more now

scandinavianyellow · 14/11/2025 23:26

Fml it’s so annoying

ADHDHDHDHD · 14/11/2025 23:36

Same here. im sure I’m not touching the screen and it still opens a browser page

Walkacrossthesand · 14/11/2025 23:51

I thought it was my fat fingers - you have to be So Careful not to brush the edge of the Shein advert when scrolling on the app, or you’re suddenly faced with the ad opening in your browser, close the ad, go back to Mumsnet - really tedious.

Infracat · 14/11/2025 23:59

Same!! It drives me insane. Especially if im on my phone in bed at night and its so bright. Then you try to close it and end up clicking on it again.

pinkpony88 · 15/11/2025 00:00

Yes this happens to me too!!!!

BobLobla · 15/11/2025 00:12

This kind of thing… which opens straight onto a separate tab.

Install DuckDuckGo on your computer or phone, use MN from it, problem solved.

scandinavianyellow · 15/11/2025 11:38

I can’t see why MN are taking shein money

dointhebestwecan · 15/11/2025 12:03

This!!!!!

ADHDHDHDHD · 19/11/2025 06:52

Ok I was on a thread. NO shein advert visible at all and it opened up.
I scrolled up the page towards the top of the screen and there was a shein advert. I absolutely definitely did not accidentally click on it as it was not visible on the screen. iPhone 15.

aprilstar · 19/11/2025 10:01

Same!!

Picoloangel · 26/11/2025 16:56

And Beaverbrooks. Has the opposite effect on me - makes me feel like I would never buy anything if they were the last places on earth. Though to be fair I already feel like that about Shein/Temu etc

ChristmaslightsuptilJanuary · 26/11/2025 17:09

Same here

purpleme12 · 26/11/2025 17:30

Not on here but I have the same problem with the shein ad when I use Moovit! It's so annoying!
Every other ad you can X out of, but you press X to X out of the shein ad and for some reason it takes you onto shein!! So annoying!!

kentgardens · 26/11/2025 17:33

And me! It’s the only ad that does this. Nasty pile of rubbish too
