You can try with this kind of images
http://www.museodelprado.es/coleccion/galeria-on-line/galeria-on-line/obra/aparicion-de-la-virgen-a-san-bernardo/
(this is about "manual expression", but you can find many other about 
different "issues")
They are absolutely not discreet, but at FB they may find it difficult 
to say they are unsuitable. ;-)
The only problem is about copyright, but there may be a way to get 
permission, I am no expert of the field.

I am sure this is not the kind of suggestion you were expecting, but you 
may be able find a way to use the idea in a direction you like....

Best regard,
Micaela

I sponsored a Facebook ad for a training I am facilitating in the future which involved the use of a photo of a breastfeeding baby. My ad ran on and off according to my specifications for 3-4 days, and when I recently went to 'resume' the ad Facebook sent me notice that my ad is 'now' disapproved due to the unsuitability of my image.

It's a baby eating for Pete's sake! Being forced to in this case, the photo I chose is VERY discreet...this peeves me off. I know many of you have had personal profiles deleted from Fb because of breastfeeding images.

My college son immediately says to me as he hears me whine about all this, "That's newsworthy Mom...you should tell someone"....and he now wants to post the issue to a popular discussion blog called Reddit...which is fine with me....but I want to see the Fb staff get some personal education about this topic....suggestions?
