COMFORT, FIT, AND PROTECTION FOR EVERY BODY
Personal care products should be just that — personal. They should be comfortable and supportive for everybody, no matter your age, stage, or size. But many of today’s baby diapers, adult incontinence, feminine care, and other hygiene products let consumers down. They dig in, sag, fail against leaks, and feel bulky. Not so with LYCRA® fibers.
Our range of fibers for personal care and hygiene products deliver what consumers need: size-inclusive fit, increased comfort, easy on and off, improved leakage protection, and latex-free stretch. Total comfort, total confidence, excellent protection. For the consumer who’s always moving.

WHAT PERSONAL CARE RESEARCH REVEALS
Demand for high-quality baby diapers and adult incontinence products is rising. According to a 2024 report by Research and Markets, busy working parents in urban cities need baby diapers that work for their active lifestyles, providing excellent leakage protection in products that are gentle on the skin. This market is projected to grow to more than $85 billion by 2030. For adults using incontinence products, meanwhile, factors like a comfortable fit that doesn’t shift and reliable leak protection are key.
Our research* on adult incontinence products reveals that consumers want:
Consistent leakage protection
A comfortable fit that stays in place
Easy on and off
A body-conforming fit that moves with the wearer
With LYCRA® fibers for personal care products, diapers, adult incontinence underwear, and feminine hygiene products can deliver. Our latex-free fibers are the solution for more reliable, comfortable care.
