Summary

Girls aren’t born ashamed of their genitals. Yet over half of women are embarrassed by theirs and a growing number wonder how to “get the perfect vagina”. How can you care for something if you don’t love it the way it is? This case shows how Libresse, a period care brand new to intimate care, decided to dynamite the myth of the perfect vulva through much-needed diversity and positivity that culture and the category were denying – because the only imperfect vulva is the one that is silenced and unloved. It’ll explain how the decision to stop dancing around the issue – and instead, made it sing – was the right thing to do for women and for the brand: • Launched organically, the long-form film earned media through sheer relevance, gaining traction globally. • It smashed all brand metrics, including “brand seem different in the category” – over double the norm (Ipsos Dec. 2018). • And we saw an immediate sales uplift at launch, meeting or surpassing targets across the campaign period, with products Libresse had never sold before, and 5 weeks after the launch, Libresse wipes already gained significant ground with market share reaching 33% – not bad for a new entrant in intimate care. (Nielsen data, Dec. 2018).
