P&G have sought to move beyond the new baby life stage into romance.  The reality is that most Vietnamese newly married couples conceive within six months of their wedding. Downy Romance seeks to preempt the baby and the competition from Unilever’s Comfort and win consumer hearts (literally) at an earlier life stage.
