In his words: “Our newly improved Pampers diaper is borne out of extensive research and development, consumer studies and continuous feedback from consumers. We do this to ensure premium comfort for our babies and consequently contribute to the happy and healthy development of babies”.
“The latest improvement to our Pampers diapers is the new stretchy sides. We understand that babies’ tummy expands as much as 8cm during the night. This makes diapers loosen and leakages occur. With our new stretch feature, Pampers expands and relaxes with the baby’s tummy, thereby efficiently preventing leakages. In addition, the super gel in the diaper locks wetness away better than ordinary diapers, keeping the baby comfortable all night”, Christofer added.
Also commenting on the new innovation, Iphie Chuks-Adizue, Brand Manager Pampers Nigeria said, “more than 50 million babies experience the comfort and dryness of Pampers every year worldwide, so with our latest improvement, Pampers Baby-Dry which is similar to our UK offering as you may have noticed, provides superior dryness for our babies and adapts to the baby’s shape and movements for a good night’s sleep and a great next morning. One Pampers diaper is guaranteed to keep your baby dry throughout the night”.
She also commented on the history of P&G, The journey began in 1956 with Victor Mills, a P&G researcher who disliked changing the cloth diapers of his newborn grandchild. He assigned fellow researchers in P&G’s Exploratory Division in Miami Valley, Ohio to look into making a better disposable diaper. That research birthed Pampers in 1961. Many years later, we are still always ready to implement the latest and most advanced technology obtainable to improve our brands to meet the expectations of our consumers.
She went on to mention that this product ensures One Pampers diaper is guaranteed to keep your baby dry throughout the night. Dryness is guaranteed; otherwise you can have your money back.
