I like the ability to visualize what the actual fit will be. I am buying these things, not masterbating to the pictures. Plenty of those type of pix elsewhere.

Honestly, I'd say that it's really refreshing to see a site use ordinary-looking guys as their diaper models. Heck, two of their three examples are overweight. Roughly 3/4 of US men are at least slightly overweight by BMI, but when's the last time you saw overweight men modeling clothing?

People complain about hyper-sexualization of advertising both in parts of the ABDL community and in general, and then when someone uses models who are ordinary rather than aesthetic ideals, people complain about that too? Seriously, this is a good thing - the pictures are a much more typical representation of what many people are actually going to see in a mirror.

We should celebrate that a company is being realistic and helpful in their advertising.

I agree with Fruitkitty on this site. All of us have different body shapes and it gives us an idea how their diapers will fit.
I'm like the one model who has a "beer belly" and the profile gives me idea how they would fit on me.
 
First, I'd like to say that the amount of body hair I saw on the hairiest of those models is barely reaching what I'd call "moderate". Welcome to Italy :D

Secondly, I applaud the manufacturer's intent of showing their product on models with a realistic, masculine body type that represents the majority of people out there and allows them to actually see how the diaper will fit (how many time I've been left wondering when ordering a new product and only being able to find an answer by receiving it and trying it on!), instead of going for some slim ephebic twink model that may look cute but is probably not an accurate representation of the customer base.

If having and showing a masculine body - even with some added cuddly material - has become a shameful thing, what has the world come to!
 
I think the models might just be the owners of the company...?
 
The pictures are fine to me.

that's because they preform worse and dry 24/7's aren't bad for concealment wearing. It's bambinos and Abena M4's that are "bad" for discreet wearing.

Yes.

You don't need to do any digging, links to all their social media and a 'Contact Us' link are on the front page.



I'm fed up of female models, it's about time an ABDL site used ordinary models that make up their predominant audience rather than relying on sex sells.

I'm sure a minority of people that can't stomach a few .jpgs aren't going impact their success much.

Bring on more cuddly guys.



*does anyway*

So, we can't have normal girls who aren't using sex to sell?

Unless it has changed, it is only $25 for the first pack and each additional pack is only $15. Plus, at least when I bought some, the shipping is only $10, no matter how many packs you buy. So, if you buy 4 packs or more, you are looking at $2 or less per diaper. Not cheap, but not too bad for an AB specific diaper with an all-over design. They also are very comfortable, pretty absorbent and more easily concealed under clothes and worn in public than Bellissimos, 24/7s or other high end diapers, in my opinion. I do not like the new pictures of men either, however.

do they always stay the reduced price or is it each pack after the first per order only?

Each order is $25 for the first bag and $15 each additional. So a case is $130 for 80 diapers. That being said if you order over one case each bag in the second case or more is still $15 as long as they are all on the same order.

No none of these images are of the owner(s). This is the owner of the company: http://ads.snuggiesdiapers.com/image/110368185097

Yeah, it's pretty creepy. Not because of the body types - it's really an interesting choice to use non model type of bodies. I think I'm just responding to the reality of grown people wearing babyish diapers. It's not really cute or pleasant. (I'm including myself in that category, by the way. I'm really skinny, but even so, I get creeped out by the idea... I don't know. I guess that's my nonacceptance of myself.)
 
After reading this thread, I went over to the Snuggies website with the worst expectations. We have probably all seen the self-made blurry smartphone pictures of heavily obese hairy beardy guys grabbing their huge diapers in their basement next to an overflowing ash tray and a few bottles of beer. I expected to find something along those lines.

However, I was positively surprised by the pictures on the site. They are professionally produced, highlight the product really well and the models are not that hairy at all. In fact, they have less body hair than I do and even I look cute in a diaper (IMHO).

I think it's a good thing that they are using representatives of their target audience as their models. It seems that most diaper fetishists are male so it definitely makes sense to show the fit on male models. Additionally, according to statistics, about 70% of people in the US [ref] and more than 50% of people in Europe [ref] are overweight so it definitely does make sense to show the fit on an overweight model.

Also, using models that represent the average consumer is IMHO the right thing to do. There have been several movements for more natural looking women models instead of the overly skinny body types that advertisements present us. These campaigns are usually met with applause and agreement, because it is not a good idea to idealize a body image that is far from the reality for most people and probably not even reachable while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But I can see why these campaigns have not managed to eradicate all those unrealistic depiction in advertising: Just put up a few normal looking guys modeling your product instead of sexy, thin, gullible looking women and people will start complaining.
 
I'm honestly a big fan of their models. People have different tastes and it is nice to see a picture of something other than a young, thin girl for once. This marketing is also in line with the old Snuggies photoshopped pictures which were only men. That being said, if I was Snuggies I would want to have a little more variety in my pictures so there is a little something for everyone (not just for me).
 
I think it's a strange marketing concept, especially on twitter I've seen people in bondage gear plus snuggies in what appear to be official high quality white backdrop images...

Technically it doesn't phase me one way or the other. I've seen it all, even Ultra Porn. I just shrug my shoulders at it. I am not a typical human though.
 
I guess we're used to sex selling. I have a question...for our male gay/bi members, is this hot? Or have they taken sex out completely? I think it's a great move, and I'm buying tomorrow. But I guess I'm used to being catered to sexually when it comes to advertising. Actually, I'd like to see a normal looking black dude as a diaper model. I wonder why THAT will never happen. Thug life perhaps? Sigh. I'm old. No one caters to me anymore.
 
Wow this is down right disturbing, how about having pictures of both guys and girls that you can click on for those of us that are bothered by these images

Well I guess I wont buying these any time soon

I prefer to keep my diaper side non-sexual. Oh, I've had my rare occasions where I get a little randy, but when it comes to looking at others I actually rarely look at anyone / check them out. It's not hot to me.
 
I wish they had the pictures in a separate section of the site, and not the front page. but w/e as long as there 18+

I'm not gay (I'm asexual), but I find the pictures to be very attractive. Almost all of them have over 100 likes on tumblr, so you know that some people find them appealing. I agree with what others have said though that it would be nice to have some girls to balance it out. I find it funny though that nobody complains on other sites asking why there are no male models to balance out the female models.

I've ordered from them before and they do have great customer service I got my package in less than a week.
Now with that said that is unappealing and I honestly find overly hairy people gross. I naturally don't have a lot of body hair and it's literally only on my head and a little on my legs. Those pics alone is enough to drive me away if I was no happy with their service.
