Can anyone help - How to avoid the isAdult flag

Selling on Amazon Listings and Variations

So I’m in a learning phase and trying to help someone at the same time. You need actual listings to review while you learn.

I’m not seeing all “Male Health Supplement’s” being treated the same. Par for the course with Amazon, but not sure I can spot some of the triggers.

Things I would obviously assume Amazon looks at:

  • Title
  • Images
  • Bullets
  • Keywords
  • Category (although that is not always the case for many products not listed under Sexual Wellness)

Amazon seems hard set on an ASIN that has removed any content that has sexual connotations.

Here’s a search for Sexual Wellness Supplements under “All” using the ASB with very similar products.

I’d point to Trojan Man specifically as looking the same to me.

I am surprised as HECK that the mention of the same brand of condoms doesn’t flag that as adult.

I’ve been following that thread on the NSFE as well but very few crumbs are dropping.

This comes down I think to what Amazon considers “adult” and I don’t think even Amazon knows that!

Wondering if @ASV_Vites or @VitRhea or any Sellers in the supplement space has insight? PG-13 insight to be clear :wink:

I wouldn’t lightly overlook A+ Content and/or videos (even if they were not created by the impacted seller, but simply were associated with the PDP); I’d also be inclined to review any off-Amazon Marketing Content that might’ve been scraped…and even the possibility that there’s a winning contribution from one of the other 21 Global Marketplaces.

I, too, saw your post about this situation on the NSFE, so I realize that you’re facing an uphill battle (SHC pages from Amazon.com.tr? Really helpful, Andy), but I’d probably also consider downloading the latest & greatest templates for the Browse Nodes shown for the competing products on your linked Browse Bin & Search Results, & try to find any clues as far as product attributes that might need to be set (or ‘unset’) via a comparison…

Unfortunately not a ton. It’s a fraught category with lots of people claiming products do lots of things they… don’t. The products that ‘work’ address nutritional deficiencies*, or have the drugs that Amazon is testing for in them, which means the promised product doesn’t work, just the hidden pharmaceuticals.

I don’t have the nitty gritty on the Amazon side of it, unfortunately.

*as is the case with most of the products that ‘work’ in our category.

There has to be something in the back end that’s driving the issue.

Adult products are sex toys, and stuff like that.

A condom is not an adult product, nor is a male enhancement supplement, unless the seller does something to trigger that.

The supplements are meant to be taken by only adults but that can be said for most supplements which would never get flagged.

Probably keywords in the listings that get flagged like “Big ■■■■” and stuff like that. Who knows what these sellers think up…

Agree … check keywords if doing ads

Per Amazon, it comes down to what you’re claiming. Usually these people want to promise the world. Harder, better, stronger, longer lasting… Trojan Man over there managed to avoid those promises neatly, but most don’t.

Table 1: Products covered under Adult Products

Sexual wellness dietary supplements* A supplement or product used to enhance male or female sexual performance. Examples of products include: ■■■■■ pumps, libido supplements, sex drive supplements or aphrodisiacs, sexual endurance supplements, sexual health booster, erection supplements, sexual pleasure enhancements, male enhancements, and sexual stamina enhancers.

I learned something today.

.Contrary to what @VTR likes to joke about, we aren’t in the ■■■■■ pill business. LOL

I left these out, but there are none of this listing.

I hadn’t thought of that, but there isn’t any.

No other contributions in other marketplaces.

Out of admiration and respect, I have not made a blue pill reference to your product in a LOOOOONG time. That is because I have moved on to thinking it is a MLM thing like Herbalife and Amway. LOL

So I updated an image that I thought I had reviewed (I didn’t and thanks for that @ASV_Vites) to remove some content. Hope this works.

@Glenn_Amazon though seems to believe the brand name is likely an/the issue. So apparently if you sell Children’s Skeleton Toys with a brand name of “Bone-R-Us” you’ll get the IsAdult flag. :laughing:
