The Pantone Color Institute partnered with INTIMINA to bring the custom Pantone Red colour for menstruation. Described as “a true red that represents a constant flow”, it was created to break taboos. Part of the Visible + Heard campaign that aims to empower & encourage people to talk about menstruation.

In Dec 2019, Libra launched its campaign #bloodnormal in Australia, as part of its mission to tackle period stigma head-on, resulting in a backlash from lady audiences!

The intention was to talk about periods confidently, to exhort everyone to talk openly about this pure & natural bodily function.
