More than 600 representatives from throughout the absorbent hygiene and personal care industries met in Florida last month for the inaugural Hygienix conference.
A focus of the conference was the effect of the ‘boomer echo.’ The US, INDA notes, is entering a four-to-five-year period of record high births, as millennials start having babies in their 30s, versus prior generations having them in their early 20s.

Other key issues addressed at the conference included destigmatising incontinence, odour control, fluffless cores, adhesive application techniques, and sustainability in the hygiene market.
