I wasn’t before but I am now !

I hope women boycott them

ShirleyJackson · 13/05/2022 09:33

What the..?

linerforlife · 13/05/2022 09:33

What the fuck? I love snag tights they're really comfy and wash well, I was a fan. But what the fuck is that for advertising?

readytorelax · 13/05/2022 09:34

I never understand the cult like love for them online, I ordered two pairs and one pair had a snag in when they arrived and the other snagged when I put them on!! Then customer services were useless when I contacted them to complain. Luckily the snags were at the top of the legs so still wearable, I admit they were the comfiest tights I've worn...for all of 3 weeks when they started to fall down constantly. So basically no better than Tesco tights but 3x the price.

ArrrMeHearties · 13/05/2022 09:35

That's not creepy at all thought snag tights folks ... 🙈🙈 Normal people beg to differ

ToffeeNotCoffee · 13/05/2022 09:35

Fat shaming ?

Toddlerteaplease · 13/05/2022 09:36

I find their adverts off putting full stop. I'm all for body positivity, but if you put an anorexic model there would be an outcry.

Whitedamask · 13/05/2022 09:36

I'm not a fan of this advertising but I like their tights. I have several pairs already and will probably buy more colours. They fit well and the quality is good. Or at least, that's been my experience.

How is the model in the OP fat?!

No it’s not fat shaming (?! the model isn’t fat) it’s the gruesome “little girl” aspects of the drag styling. For me anyway,

faggyhagger · 13/05/2022 09:43

That picture is basically a fully grown bloke dressed as a toddler. 🤮

boogiewithasuitcase · 13/05/2022 09:44

And look at how their hand is placed.

It’s not fat shaming, the model isn’t fat.
The ‘little girl’ styling is fucking creepy.

I love snag tights, they are definitely better than primark or Tesco tights, far more comfortable. But their advertising is getting weirder and weirder, and it does put me off tbh.

I just want to see normal women wearing tights. Not "women" with beards and furries and all sorts of kinky shit.

I guess that's their market now, so maybe they don't want my custom?

takingmytimeonmyride · 13/05/2022 09:46

Also definitely not fat shaming this model, I'm fatter than they are.

ShirleyPhallus · 13/05/2022 09:46

Their advertising is borderline pornographic at points. Completely unnecessary for advertising tights aka the least sexy garment ever

CurbsideProphet · 13/05/2022 09:46

Yep that type of photo is why I don't buy from Snag and hide any of their adverts that appear.

AnyFucker · 13/05/2022 09:47

A bloke in drag dressed as a little girl surrounded by childrens toys

that’s not going to sell me tights

I don’t expect I am their demographic anyway, but clearly they have chosen a particular direction

Squealier · 13/05/2022 09:47

I don't like snag. I found them saggy and bobbly and rubbish quality. But even if they were the best tights I'd ever bought I would boycott them because of their grim advertising.

PerfectPrepPrincess · 13/05/2022 09:48

Yes paedophilic

IEatChocolateForBreakfast · 13/05/2022 09:49

I've never been a fan of their adverts or their tights. I just find them very cheap and tacky looking. Like the Lularoe (tacky American legging company) of British tights.

Also I wouldn't say that model is fat, but IMO for a model she would be considered plus size. She also looks like a clown. Ridiculous 🤡🦄

SoManyTshirts · 13/05/2022 09:50

I have been on their website a few times lately as a friend is a devotee of their tights, but that photo has put me off permanently (I’d already seen it).

To be fair the fact that they sell My Little Pony tights would have done that anyway, I’m a bit chippy about the infantilisation of womenswear.

Used to love them. Fair play if they want to make money out of paraphilia. They just won't get mine.
