Intimates brand Thinx recently launched its new line of period underwear through a humorous campaign by purpose-driven ad agency OBERLAND. The ad pokes fun at the often awkward conversations most girls experience with their mothers when they first get their periods -- including chats about the correct way to wear a tampon.
The 'How a New Generation Thinx' campaign features two hilarious commercials titled 'Saved by Sister' and 'Moon Landing.' While the first ad showcases Thinx' new line of sustainable period underwear for teens that offer protection without the need for pads and tampons, the second follows a frustrated woman who recounts the moon landing and other technological advancements from the last 30 years, while explaining how those same advancements never happened in the period care space.
This comical ad series targets Gen Z consumers and encourages open conversations about menstruation without the added awkwardness.
