Clark, and Franklyn C. Shattuck and were called Kimberly, Clark, And Co. Since that time, this thriving corporation has been built based on the needs of the public and makes things like Huggies diapers.
Their first jump into the market was with Kimbies , their introductory brand of disposable diapers. Unsure if the Kimbies brand would last, Kimberly-Clark continued testing different types of disposable diapers, and then in , they began making the Huggies brand.
It has been a constant top-seller ever since. So, while they grew in popularity and need , the question begs — Where are Huggies diapers made? Huggies were made in the USA during that era. Around then other companies and big businesses were finding alternative see cheaper ways of producing their product, but Kimberly-Clark decided to stay put.
They did expand to take their product worldwide, as any smart business would do, but they kept making everything, including Huggies diapers, in the USA. Without getting into the moral justification, a boycott of Chinese manufactured goods is probably impossible.
Without getting into morality, if you have some reason to do a partial boycott it's still doing something. The mainstream "sheep" make up the huge majority. Rant: With that said, the mainstream consumers could change things for the better. They simply need to vote with their wallets. Or vote with their feet to enact some consumer-protections legislation in place.
But they won't. In free market economics, the cheapest product wins, or the highest value product, or the outright best product. So the mainstream consumers will have a natural tendency like evolution to create better and cheaper products. BUT we don't have total free markets, because of marketing. These guys are masters of manipulation, exaggeration, lying, and even fraud… because they understand how the human psychology works and they actively exploit it.
So the mainstream consumers continually get duped into become sheep, and the consumerism cycle that began in the 80's continues on. Case in point: smartphones, each year since we've lost features, had stagnation, yet prices kept soaring because of marketing.
Kangal: That's life. This is one of the reasons i would not buy huggies nappies. The Queensland Office of Fair Trading led a product safety investigation into Huggies Ultra Dry nappies and found no evidence of any systemic safety issues.
Huggies Australia even posted an import alert. I think you're justified in raising concerns for Huggies not made for the Australian market, but you have to do some due diligence when it comes to buying online. I just had a look on the boxes and found out they were made in China. What do other people think? Poll Options No problems with diapers and baby products from China. Amazon AU. Yes, I most definately do..
But I've also seen it somewhere else, cant recall. It's damned expensive but still buy it. Lol What about Middle East? When are we going to stand up for justice and embargo the US? As with garlic, I'll comment after watching the Netflix doco. Many businesses are already in the process of doing so. CocaKoala agree with everything and am doing the same.
I've contacted Amazon and they've said will change the listings. Thread was simply because I felt mislead by listing Exactly. Woolworths diapers were made in Thailand, and now they're made in Australia. Interesting - perhaps they've only moved certain range of products. If you are strongly against products made in China, you should have checked and be more aware.
Can you try returning to Amazon? You gave me snickers already. You would think with how cheap they are that wouldn't be cost effective lol. Oh dear, the article you posted also says: In , a Chinese manufacturer was found to be recycling used condoms and turning them into hair bands. Do not support illegal nappy recycling!

It is always smart to try and stock-up on diapers when you see them on sale or bring coupons with you because they can get expensive after a while. When it comes to expanded size, Pampers definitely wins this category. Huggies only offers diapers up to size 6, while Pampers goes up to size 7. This may not be a deal-breaker for some families, but if you have a baby on the higher end of the growth chart, you may really need those larger-sized diapers.
Pampers entered the China market in with a strategy of making a cheaper version of their Western product. Terminating the brand will effect between 1, and 1, jobs across Europe as factories close. When comparing the price of overnight diapers, Huggies rose above Pampers in the competition. In a number of absorbency tests, Pampers has always been the favored brand and have shown to prevent more leaks than Huggies. Based on their surveys, Pampers do indeed come top being rated as the best nappies you can get.
However, they do not score well in one category: value for money.
