I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
It's possible that this a generational thing, but the "I'll be working from home today because I have a very heavy period" email really grated me. At one point in time, the idea that women would use that kind of excuse to stay at home literally kept us out of certain jobs. I dislike that this ad encourages that.
And before anyone gets mad at me for asking y'all to put your big girl pants on; I have endometriosis, I have had surgery three times and been in ambulances too. I know what a truly heavy period is.
Last years effort from the same brand, Libresse "Blood" which showed a Joan of Arc and many sports is a much better ad, imo. The soundtrack on that is great, and the point well delivered.
They also put their statement out on Twitter;

That was a pretty excellent execution idea for fashion. Basically taking George Michael's "Freedom" music video concept and putting it in a Karaoke machine video, using one of his earlier (and one of his most underrated) songs. Great way to get a dozen or so models into the ad in a plethora of different outfits. It all looked pretty good except for the gum-piercings on ombre asian girl.
