Summary
ANSA policy guide restructured and condensed. Complete detailed examples and best practices removed; core prohibitions retained in abbreviated form. Change effective 06/04/2026.
Why it matters
Sellers lose detailed reference material for compliance. While core rules unchanged, removal of specific examples (lingerie framing, twerking, emoji use, adult platform logos) and best practices reduces actionable guidance for avoiding violations in borderline cases.

Choose professional camera angles and avoid nudity or implied nudity
Choose professional camera angles that do not emphasize body parts Cover more than half of the breast area, and avoid breast close-ups that take up most of the screen. Fully cover the intergluteal cleft (butt crack), and avoid buttock close-ups that dominate the majority of the frame. Promote Products in a Natural Way
Focus on product features like fabric, comfort, fit, stretch, and design Highlight practical use cases (daily wear, layering, comfort)Use a neutral, informative tone and avoid suggestive language For intimate hygiene products, use clear, educational language about function and benefits For example, "gentle formulas" or "soothing ingredients"For shapewear, focus on comfort, material quality, and everyday wear support Create clear, safe, and appropriate demonstrations
Use mannequins, flat-lay shots, or torso props for revealing items Pair skin-tone or tight items with additional clothing For stockings or similar items, focus on material and texture and pair with shorts or skirts Avoid framing private areas Showing the body’s natural curves is acceptable, but no kneeling, lying down, leg-spreading, or stripping poses are allowed.
