About Hackathon
Based on a recent “fit” study, almost one-third of diaper users wear the wrong diaper size, while four out of ten mothers state that diaper fit is a significant concern at every stage of diapering. Despite disposable diapers being around for the last half-century, ensuring proper fit of diapers for babies can be confusing for parents. When babies wear the wrong diaper size, the chances of leakage and blowouts increase. Kimberly-Clark continues to partner with parents to not just provide a diaper that fits their baby perfectly, but also provide the technology and tools needed to reduce diaper fit challenges.
If we can create a better experience by providing the right technology, data, and digital experience to choose the right diaper size, we can continue to be an indispensable part of a parent's life. This can be achieved by creating stronger lifetime value partnerships, helping to determine when to move to the next diaper size, and creating a competitive advantage that keeps Kimberly-Clark’s diapers and pants the ultimate choice of parents.
