Sirona challenges menstrual taboos with #TheBloodyConversation campaign
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.”
According to recent research, the menstrual hygiene market has experienced substantial growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3 per cent from 2019 to 2023. Over the past two years, there has been a significant shift in the conversation surrounding menstrual hygiene, marked by a remarkable 25 per cent increase in online searches related to menstrual health and hygiene. Throughout this period Sirona has led multiple campaigns aimed at educating the public and destigmatizing menstruation.
Sirona’s assertive approach with #TheBloodyConversation is designed to provoke thought and action, demanding for change. It underscores the critical importance of normalizing period discussions, ensuring that everyone—regardless of gender—has the knowledge and resources needed to manage menstrual health with dignity and respect. Through this campaign, Sirona aims to cultivate a more informed, empathetic, and equitable society, dismantling the taboos surrounding menstruation and foster an environment where conversations about menstrual health are as commonplace and accepted as any other health discussion.

NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
