Brand info
Pampers owns not only the leadership in this industry (since the first diapers appeared under this brand), but also modern developments and technologies, thanks to which such products allow babies of all ages to feel comfortable.
Pampers is a trademark of Procter & Gamble, which manufactures diapers and baby wipes. Among the products of this brand, both a budget version of diapers and a premium line are presented. As well as special diaper panties and swimming panties.
The man who first came up with disposable diapers was Victor Mills. He was a chemist and worked for Procter & Gamble in the 1950s. He had to not only constantly look after little grandchildren, but also wash wet diapers. To get rid of the constant washing of such diapers, Mills came up with a disposable model that was supposed to absorb liquid.
After conducting the first tests on his own grandchildren, Mills developed a batch of diaper samples. In the early spring of 1959, this product first went on a mass market. And already in 1961, this product appeared in many American stores under the Pampers brand. This name was coined by Alfred Goldman, who worked as a creative director at the advertising agency Benton & Bowles. It comes from the English word pamper, which translates as "pamper, cherish."
The company conducted its own research, developing and implementing a more convenient fastening system, shape and filling for its products. Only in 1986, models with gel filling appeared. Now diapers were used not only for newborn babies, but also for grown-up babies.
The first diapers were not as comfortable as their modern counterparts, but despite this, they gradually gained popularity, first in the United States of America, and then around the world. In support of this fact, many people use "diaper" instead of the word "diaper".
