Viva la vulva shattered all these norms. While others ran functional product ads we created a celebratory full-length music video. While others avoided vulvas we showed 450 of them. While others showed experts in white coats we showed a woman in beautiful vulva dress. While others cast twenty-something models we heroed women of all ages and body types. While others reinforced taboos, we confronted them head on with messy oysters and signing cameltoes. While others were silent about vulvas, our cast members opened up about them. While everyone else was dancing around the issue, we made it sing.

For centuries vulvas have been censored, objectified, and erased altogether in the name of ‘decency’.  Meanwhile the recent explosion of porn has pressurised young women to believe their genitals should look a certain way: the myth of the ‘perfect’ vulva.

Viva La Vulva is a love song to a part of us that doesn’t get enough love.

As a result, almost half of women feel embarrassed by their vulva, 7/10 don’t know what normal looks like, many demand a ‘designer vagina’ (labiaplasty is the fastest growing cosmetic surgery in the world), or avoid cervical cancer tests out of embarrassment.

The intimate care category has historically been so clinical and euphemistic that it enforced these taboos - many women buy and use the products in shame, like a dirty secret.
