The site is especially popular with women between the ages of 25 and 44, which comprise 59% of its readership, and the majority of those visiting Pinterest are female, consisting of 58% of its visitors in the past 12 weeks.

Pinterest lets visitors group items into categories and share them with others. Then, there's plenty of room for comments about those items. Most of the site's images are of items concerning home décor, crafts, fashion, and food.
