    Speaking of these, back around 2014 there was a controversial commercial about them that people were saying was too sexual. It was created by the company McCann Erickson Israel for Kimberly-Clark and apparently some parents called for the ad to be pulled for making “child pornography”.

    There is also that creepy ad where it’s the baby walking by in just that denim diaper and a shirt and everyone looks either in approval or that they’re checking him out, all before he gets in a fancy convertible. I think that one was maybe a few years earlier.

    Couldn’t find the first commercial whole trying to find it to prove it exists, but the 2nd commercial I found. Furthest back I saw on invidious was 13 years ago.

    I also ended up finding another one that I’d say is a little less creepy, but still kinda creepy in my opinion from the Jordan Huggies branch. This time it’s a limousine pulling up to a mansion. The person inside is wearing one of those fancy white feather looking coats with sunglasses and chains on. He opens the coat to reveal the jean diaper he’s wearing. Gets a couple of girls at the open front door of the mansion, with gold necklaces on, looking excited to him because apparently they’re at a party. Apparently he’s the DJ, so one quick plastic turn table spin, show the party guests in their bling, show one of them up close (head and upper torso). Then switch to showing off the diaper on it’s own. Ends with them saying in English “Pull 'em up baby!” and the way they say it weirds me out.

    Regardless, there were absolutely no good commercial ads for them that didn’t do something weird or make them seem more sexual then they were. At least that’s how I view the ads.
