Baby Diaper Trends NAFTA sales stagnant due to sluggish economy in 2011. Expect much of the same in 2012. Increased promotional activity and bulk packaging to reduce costs to consumer Increasing segmentation of market: More product differentiation: Baby Diapers available in more colors … and print patterns More Seasonal and Limited Edition diapers (similar to Huggies’ Little Movers concept) Source: INDA estimates
Baby Diaper Trends Diaper components continue to move towards lower weights to reduce unit and shipping cost Development of small Vac-Packaged travel / emergency diapers for convenience

Feminine Care Trends Feminine pad designs trending to thinner, slimmer and lighter adult products Menstruation starting earlier and products under development for 10-14 year olds Pads and tampons are shorter, narrower and lighter Pads and tampons have brilliant colors and prints to attract youth (see U by Kotex products) Source: INDA estimates
Wipes Trends Expect more industry consolidation (Ahlstrom->Suominen) Flushable wipes issue continues to simmer. It is in our interest to understand flushability issues Airlaid Pulp and Wetlaid technologies recapturing some volume lost to spunlaced nonwovens Source: INDA estimates
