The document provides a market analysis of the global baby diaper industry. It shows data on the market potential and current market size of diapers by country in 2011. The largest opportunities for growth are in developing countries like China, India, and Nigeria which have low market penetration currently. It also discusses trends in diaper design including elasticated sides and fully stretchable designs. The document notes a need for better diapers for adults with limited mobility who are at high risk of skin infections due to incontinence. It proposes a new type of disposable personal toilet as a better solution for this group compared to existing expensive robotics-based approaches.

 Instead of Spandex it uses an exclusive elastomeric material extruded in
threads apparently manufactured on an Off-Line centralized site and
then shipped all over the world to all its factories.
 The total GSM of the side panels is 125 GSM while relaxed and 40 GSM
while extended.
 Elastic material is used at 24 GSM while Relaxed or 8 GSM stretched.
 Maximum elongation is 500% versus 300% for Spandex.
 Retractile force is about 40% of Spandex, you need more threads.
 It may be less expensive than other commercial side panels in the market

21. What is the biggest
diaper market with an unmet
need today?
Incontinence Diapers for those with Limited Mobility

22. Adult Incontinence: a new perspective
 Medical literature usually classify Incontinence in
subgroups: Stress, Urge, Overflow, Mixed, and Bowel
Incontinence. 31 million people in the US have
Incontinence: 26 MM have urinary incontinent and 5 MM
are bowel incontinent. It is estimated that 1/10 of the
world population is incontinent.
 Let us explore incontinence by looking at it from the
perspective of the users and not their urinary condition:
Active Adults; and Bedridden or Wheelchair patients.
 How much risk do each have in relation to Incontinence
Associated Dermatitis (IAD)?

23. Incontinence and Limited Mobility
 When an Active adult is wet, he/she is capable of changing
the diaper. This action results in minimal risk of irritation to
the skin and minimal IAD; being active helps to have
healthy skin, for sure somewhat compromised with age.
 Babies are constantly cared by their parents, in addition
they have the most elastic skin; because its young, baby’s
skin is more resistant to damage than any other.
 Bedridden Adults and people in Wheelchairs are several
times more prone to skin infections and IAD than babies
or Active Adults due to weaker skin, the lack of mobility
(pressure sores), and less overall care or attention.

24. Who needs the better diaper?
Who is using the best diaper?

25. The Diaper Paradox
 Only those who do not have alternatives, such as bedridden, or those who
are in wheelchairs or hospitalized in intensive care, will be the only ones
forced to use a diaper, they do not have a valid alternative.
 Most of these bedridden patients end up in Institutions.
 Institutional US diapers are close to being the worst in the world.
 The Paradox: People that require the best diapers many times end
up using the worst performance products just because of
government regulations.
 Many times the cost of skin control medications is by far more expensive
than the cost of the diapers, many times the patience die because of skin
infection that started with IAD.
 Using under-beds as a treatment for frequent or regular incontinence is a
solution that denigrates users, in my opinion, they should be banned of this
use.

26. What can be done?
 A new national health regulation is needed, it must be based on the needs
of each kind of institutional patient, active and non active.
 Diapers designed for adults without mobility should be much drier than
commercial diapers and also provide the required pH to help the skin with
an acidic 4.5 pH and a low friction surface.
 A good solution is a diaper with an acidic top-layer separated from the
alkaline poly-acrylate liquid retention region. This could be either curly
fiber or a specially made ADL. (BMC Geriatr, France Nov 2010).
 Wetness in the diaper increases the toxicity of fecal incontinence as solid
feces dissolve. Wetness is the most important cause of IAD, it is also the
origin of main discomfort due to heath exchange from the body to the
cold urine. Removing the urine from the diaper helps to eliminate the
problem.
 What is the industry doing ?

27. UNICHARM’s Humany

28. Humany Unicharm
 A robot costing more than $1,284 USD per unit.
 Each disposable diaper has a cost of $3
 Designed for adult male users…. What about females?
 There are 3 Females for every male with incontinence.
 Uses an electronic sensor and a pump. Is this a good solution?
 Is there a better alternative? FOR SURE!!
 A new diaper that may cost less than a regular commercial diaper!

33. Right idea….wrong approach
 Vacuum Dry Diaper was the wrong name!
 It is not a theoretical idea it is a proven concept
 We showed working prototypes at the Idea show in Miami.
 We demonstrated our concept to many companies… It works!
 The industry reacted in a defensive way… threatened…
 What we have invented is not a diaper it is a PDT:
 Personal Disposable Toilet
 The best solution yet for adult incontinence without mobility
