“The Voyage to the Vulva-verse campaign aims to create open and honest conversations around the vulva and intimate care, which is important if we are to continue to break taboos and change perspectives. We want to stress that the vulva, as a natural and beautiful part of the body, should be seen as a positive celebration and not as a celebration of shame and embarrassment, ”said Spa Esprit Group founder Cynthia Chua.
