Adult content and nudity in Meta ads

Meta's ad standards are stricter on nudity and sexual content than the Community Standards are for posts. Images that are acceptable in a feed post can be rejected as ads, and repeated problems can reach the ad account.

Commonly flagged

Close-ups of the body, even in a product context.
Suggestive poses in lingerie or swimwear ads.
Sexualised wording.

Safer approach

Show the product, not the body.
Use neutral models and plain backgrounds.
Keep copy factual.

If rejected

Edit the image and resubmit. If many ads are rejected, read why repeated rejections matter.
