Pampers diapers were first introduced in the year of 1961.
Pampers diapers were born in 1961. In the early years, the brand underwent several redesigns, tests and manufacturing developments.
The Pampers diapers which is one of the most sold brands of diapers today was launched in Peoria, IL, in 1961.
Though highly rated by consumers, disposable diaper sales were disappointing due to prices four or five times above those of cotton diapers.
P&G then developed a new manufacturing process to improve production and decrease size and cost.
Pampers Diapers are made by Procter & Gamble who also makes Luvs brand diapers and other products including paper towels, soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, baby wipes and much more.
