Whisper Out Loud Blogger Hangout- #OwnThose5Days

Hi guys,

If you read my previous post about the all new Whisper Ultra (go HERE), I talked about this exclusive bloggers’ meet that took place on 19th Dec at Palladium/St.Regis Hotel.

In a bid to help India’s women power through their chosen path of success and #OwnThose5Days of the month , Whisper India launched The New Whisper Ultra – a revolutionary pad that absorb more & lasts longer. Whisper wants to enable women to keep striding forward.

In an exclusive preview organised for bloggers, Whisper India, the no. 1 sanitary napkin brand in the country, showcased a never seen before innovation via powerful demonstrations highlighting the benefits of the New Whisper Ultra. The event previewed the top sheet upgrade & boosted core of the new product from Whisper India that offers more absorption for long hours and better dryness for clean feeling.

The ‘Whisper Out Loud Blogger Hangout’, was the first exclusive bloggers only preview to be organized by a sanitary napkin brand in the country.

Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin, Gynaecologist Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, Whisper R&D Expert Chetan Kotyalkar & stand-up comedian Aditi Mittal brought to life the need to break free from the various irrelevant period taboos and the importance of menstrual hygiene. Aditi Mittal’s stand up act was hilarious, she is always a pleasure to listen to!

Women still practice irrelevant period Taboos like not exercising, not wearing white, not washing hair for the first two days and stay largely at home during periods among others. With the New Whisper Ultra, women should not feel restricted anymore on their period days.

The Whisper Panel of experts engaged in a never seen before product demonstration clearly showcasing that the New Whisper Ultra offers five times more protection than any ordinary pad. Kalki and Aditi shared personal experiences and opinions expressing the need for a superior sanitary napkin for a woman to be truly unstoppable.

Dr. Nandita Palshetkar showcased her expertise to explain the menstruation process and the dos and don’ts every woman should incorporate in her monthly routine. It was the most educative session, she talked about having less salt and caffeine or not having at all, is possible. That is the main reason of bloating during periods and can be tackled by doing away with salt and caffeine. Also light exercises, proper rest are some of the other things to do. Some girls do not exercise at all thinking it should not be done during periods which again is a myth.She also educated all about the importance of menstrual hygiene.

R&D expert Chetan Kotyalkar highlighted the unique features of the New Whisper Ultra that comes with 1000 suction holes to offer better protection for long hours. He showed each and every feature in a presentation and how they have worked towards making the all new Whisper Ultra Clean ‘better’ in so many ways.

The ‘Whisper Out Loud Blogger Hangout’ culminated with Whisper’s super fun #OwnThose5Days challenge. To celebrate the spirit of being unstoppable during periods, #OwnThose5Days challenge comprised of a series of five activities which depicted everyday physical hurdles in a fun way. Kalki and Aditi kick started the challenge and we all followed them. From cycling to trying out the water soaking capacity of the 1000 suction holes, we did all of it practically.

Who Wore What- IIFA Awards 2014 and the Green Carpet

So after the press conference, promotions and pre- events which I covered HERE, lets move on to the main awards IIFA 2014.

My hits and misses..

1. Jahnvi Kapoor in D & G

Jahnvi chose a Dolce & Gabbana full skirted dress and strappy sandals..with a soft, messy updo. Cute, I did say.

2. Parineeti Chopra in Nikhil Thampi

Pari chose this one shoulder peach Nikhil Thampi gown..the color is good..but is it not a little too simple ? I did not like the Rahul Mishra one sheer skirt though..did not flatter her figure..this is atleast better.

3. Kalki in Gaurav Gupta

Kalki in a grey Gaurav Gupta gown with silver detailing all over. No, a little too much..plus the color is too dull on her.

4. Yami Gautam in Gauri and Nainika

Yami in this monochrome Gauri Nainika gown..though it screams high school..but she always looks cute !

5. Dia Mirza in Sabyasachi

Dia looked amazing in this pink and gold ombre Sabyasachi embellished gown with Amrapali jewellery..that dress is stunning !

6. Gauahar Khan in Ken Ferns

Gauahar in a red Ken Ferns gown..is it Christmas already ?! Did not like the silhouette too.

7. Kareena Kapoor in Armani

Kareena chose this black sheer panel Armani dress..a little too bold..but she pulled it off quiet well !

8. Sridevi in Oscar De La Renta

Sridevi chose this black shimmery Oscar De La Renta gown..perfect makeup, hair updo and studs..she looks ravishing !

9. Priyanka Chopra in Monique Lhuillier

PC chose this embellished nude Monique Lhuillier gown..smokey eyes and an elegant updo..she looked great.

10. Sonakshi Sinha in Amit Aggarwal

Shimmery Navy Blue Amit Aggarwal gown, Bottega Veneta clutch, soft wavy hair..Sonakshi looked quiet good.

11. Deepika Padukone in Zuhair Murad

Dippy chose a Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad red lace gown..I liked the gown..but the berry lip :/ Does not work with this at all.

12. Dia Mirza in Halston Heritage

Beautiful peachy orange pleated Halston Heritage gown, Jimmy Choo clutch and an Amrapali multi chained layered necklace..Dia looks stunning here !

12. Madhuri Dixit in Sonaakshi Raaj

Again a Sonaakshi Raaj after Bipasha in white..this time Madhuri chose a different color..and I am glad..coz that color looks amazing on her..loved it. (Both these Sonaakshi Raaj outfits are from the recent Lakme Fashion Week S/R 2014..and I had attended this show)

13. Swara Bhaskar in BCBG

Swara chose this coral BCBG illusion panel dress..I like how the illusion panel works on her..nice..

14. Kareena in Armani

Kareena chose a Giorgio Armani again..separates here..a beaded white top and velvet paneled skirt..bright orange lips completed the look.

Also there were many blacks ! Madhuri chose a black Jatin Varma and Malaika a Shivan Narresh, Bipasha a Rocky S..too many black gowns seen !

I loved Sridevi, Madhuri, Kareena, Dia and Priyanka !
