Co-op Set 'Modesty Bag' Deadline For Lads' Mags
Lads' mags have been given six weeks to begin providing their publications in so-called "modesty bags" or they will be removed from 4,000 Co-operative stores.
The retailer said that they have made the call following concerns raised by its members and customers over magazine covers of scantily-clad women.
A deadline of September 19 has been set by the Co-operative, after which they say titles including Front, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo risk being taken off their shelves completely.
The retailer, which is owned by more than seven million members, introduced opaque screens for lads' magazines on some shelves earlier this month.
