Libresse is a Swedish brand specializing in products for period and daily intimate care. It is a global brand that operates under different names in local markets: Bodyform, Nana, Nuvenia, Saba, Nosotras, Libresse, and Libra. [1]
In November 2025, it was announced that Libresse was one of the assets acquired by Essity (formerly SCA). Founded in 1929 by Ivar Kreuger as a paper packaging company, Essity is a Swedish health and hygiene firm that conducts sales in approximately 150 countries. [2] [3]
Libresse creates a range of products to support period and daily intimate care, from pads, liners, washes, wipes, menstrual cups and period pants. Their products provide protection across a range of flows, fits and needs. [4]
Since 2017, Libresse has made a name for itself with its taboo-busting advertising campaigns on topics surrounding women's bodies and health. [5] The brand often uses creativity to subvert shame and break down stigma, in line with their purpose. [6] Given that these campaigns push boundaries and contain intimate moments, several have caused some controversy at launch. [7] [8] [9]
