Livedo renews Refre pull-on pants

Japan LiveDo Corporation

Livedo announced a renewal of its Refre Haku Pants disposable pull-on range on April 1, 2026. The update adds a mildly acidic material to the absorbent core's surface, extending a material already used in the company's pads to pull-on products. Livedo says the surface is intended to maintain a pH balance similar to skin while preserving the range's softness. Sizes 3L and 4L are excluded.

Eight product groups are listed: beige underwear-style pants, lightweight thin pants, Junior SS, thin long-wear pants, overnight pants, and professional Slim, Regular and Night Super models. The announcement describes a waistband that stretches with little effort to help with pulling the pants up and down, side-leak guards that follow the legs, and a thin absorbent core with a trimmed crotch shape to reduce bulk. Livedo links the renewal to demand associated with ageing and support for independence. The planned launch date was April 1, with individual products switching to the updated version once previous stock was depleted.
