Marketing
Over the last several years, Libresse has made a name for itself with its taboo-busting advertising campaigns on topics surrounding women’s bodies and health.[4] The brand often uses creativity to subvert shame and break down stigma, in line with their purpose.[5] Given that these campaigns push boundaries and contain intimate moments, several have caused some controversy at launch.[6][7][8]
