On 3 September 2024, the Google Ads 'Sexual content policy – Mature cosmetic procedures' will be updated to allow pubic hair grooming ads to serve on the Google Display Network and YouTube in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, South Korea, United Kingdom and United States.
This policy update will allow the promotion of pubic hair grooming ads, as long as they:
- Are not promoted in a way that focuses on sexual pleasure or enhancement, or use sexually suggestive elements and themes;
- Are not promoted in a way that disparages physical attributes or employs body shaming;
- Do not target or feature minors;
- Do not otherwise violate the existing Sexual content policy.
Ads that are promoted in violation of these criteria remain subject to Google Ads’ Sexual content policy and may be restricted or disapproved accordingly.
We will begin enforcing the policy update on 3 September 2024, with full enforcement ramping up over approximately 12 weeks.
Violations of this policy will not lead to immediate account suspension without prior warning. A warning will be issued, at least seven days, prior to any suspension of your account.
