Model Diversity?!

Stock photos only come in one race? That's super shitty.

the images are from the companies who create the products. EF does not create the images.

if they were to seek out photos only of 'differently-abled' models, they would have zero products.

what company produces products and markets them with differently-abled, old models? i mean, really.

in a perfect world, everyone would see the beauty in everyone of all types.

but this is not a perfect world. it's incredibly unfair to expect Eden to be perfect. what you're expecting of them is simply impossible.


the only way they could do what you wish is to create their own line of sex toys, lingerie, etc. and hire their own models. i can't see images of handicapped people in lingerie selling really well. it's sad, but that's just the truth.

sexy, fit women sell clothes.


i see nothing unsexy about women of all races, or even different body types. but there is a 'standard,' and i think eden's models do a decent job of straying from that. there are large plus-sized models in several of the chemises, etc. some of the plus-sized models are barely plus-sized, or laughably thin for passing as a plus-sized model, but that is not eden's doing.


please tell me what site you've been to that has more diversity than eden. and i'd love to see what site has differently-abled and old people modeling their lingerie.

also, an indian-looking model (maybe she's persian? i'm not sure.)



and this hot black lady is in several photos



and this lady is large and in charge! and she's not really 'young' looking.

No joke. You'd be surprised the lack of variety.

Man, I don't know what sucks more. The fact that stock photos only have white models, or that it actually doesn't surprise me all that much to learn this. Thanks for at least giving us all the heads up. For a long time I had just assumed Eden favored white models, but it's good to know this isn't true. I just wish there were better sources for stock photos.

stock photos of owls only come in one race... cute.










see what i mean?

Hah! Well played.

Quite true.

Sure, but quantity is a whole different issue than individual characteristic. Using "a few" models doesn't necessitate that they all be homogenous in appearance.

It is the lingerie companies who choose the models for the product page but I agree with Owl Identified. Doesn't Eden choose who is featured on the homepage? I find it odd especially because this is what we are told is the 'ideal'. This is what your body should look like with enhanced breasts and stick thin bodies. Add to that a lighter pigmentation and we are being told that this is perfection, everything else is not .

I know Ms. Spice is right... it's been talked about before with plus size lingerie and how the models aren't actually plus size.

We should, as a community, start writing some letters to the lingerie companies if we really want change.
