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.

Kimberly-Clark invites you to leverage the power of technology and help mothers choose the right diaper size for their babies. This would:

  • Give all mothers the confidence that they have their babies in the right diaper or potty training pant size
  • Give all mothers a better experience when they switch to Huggies diapers or potty training pants
  • Increase retention at size changes
  • Generate data to create the best specifications for future diapers
  • Help compare diaper size to clothing size
