Mumbai: Sirona Hygiene, The Good Glamm Group’s portfolio brand and a leading brand in menstrual hygiene products, is revolutionising the conversation around menstruation with the launch of its unapologetically bold #TheBloodyConversation campaign. In recognition of Menstrual Hygiene Day, this initiative aims to dismantle the taboos, ignorance and stigma surrounding periods, particularly among men, and insists on the necessity of open, unfiltered dialogue.
In line with its commitment to drive change, this Menstrual Hygiene Day (28 May), Sirona encourages everyone to just have "TheBloodyConversation." The campaign video, sheds light on the lack of awareness amongst men when it comes to periods, emphasizing the importance of open and comfortable conversations about menstrual health. As part of an eye-opening experiment, men in the video are equipped with a simulator device that replicates period pain each time they answer a period-related question incorrectly. With this campaign, Sirona wants to emphasize that by just having the bloody conversation, we can promote a more informed, empathetic, and equitable society where menstrual health is understood and supported. It’s time we normalize periods and ensure that everyone has the resources and knowledge they need to manage them with dignity.
"At Sirona, we refuse to tiptoe around the subject of menstruation," asserted Sirona Hygiene, Good Glamm Group head of marketing Anika Wadhera. "Our #TheBloodyConversation campaign challenges societal norms that perpetuate silence and misinformation. By compelling everyone to engage openly and honestly, we are driving towards a future where menstrual health is universally understood, respected, and supported."
