Sirona Hygiene launches the #TheBloodyConversation campaign to dismantle the stigma around periods

The video highlights the lack of men's awareness about menstrual health and emphasises the significance of discussions about it.

Sirona Hygiene, The Good Glamm Group’s portfolio brand and a brand in menstrual hygiene products, is revolutionising the conversation around menstruation with the launch of its #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 (May 28), Sirona encourages everyone to just have "TheBloodyConversation." The campaign video, sheds light on the lack of awareness amongst men when it comes to periods, emphasising 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 emphasise 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 normalise 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," asserts Anika Wadhera, head of marketing, Sirona Hygiene, Good Glamm Group. "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."
