Kotex Leak Guard
Launched
29th
December, 2003
Mumbai :
Kimberly Clark
Lever Private Limited, a joint venture company between Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
USA and Hindustan Lever Limited has, launched new Kotex Leak Guard with a
longer, wider and smarter leak-lock system with more absorption at the centre
of the pad, which prevents staining.
Kotex Leak Guard
has new features such as special perforations on the top cover of the pad,
which help draw in more liquid easily to the layers below. There are also
longer and wider ‘cloud-shaped’ channels, which help utilise a larger surface
area on the pad, thus keeping the surface of the pad drier and more comfortable.
The presence of a
softer, non-woven ‘cotton-like’ cover helps in preventing rashes. Also a
rounded shape of the pad makes for a better fit and adhesive strips keep the
pad firmly in place. The new packs are available at Rs. 20/- for a pack of eight
and Rs. 48/- for a pack of 20, making it one of the most economical and best
performing pads available in the market today.
Says Mr. Rajeev
Mohan, managing director, Kimberly-Clark Lever : “The new Kotex Leak Guard not
only absorbs more but also lasts longer. Thus, the consumer gets a superior
performing pad and high convenience at a highly affordable price”.
Note :-
The company’s
registered office at Amrut Chambers, 2nd Floor, 1216/7 Shivaji
Nagar, F. C. Road, Pune – 411 004, Maharashtra has been shifted to the above
address.
