Unicharm describes a wavy surface sheet as part of this Lifree pad's construction.

Company HQ: Unicharm · Japan ↗
Unicharm · Product description · Company-published source
Unicharm announced Lifree thin adult pants with an Organic Cotton Touch design on October 3, 2025, for nationwide Japanese release in early October. The release describes a mesh sheet made from 100% organic cotton in the abdominal area.
This is a specific material-use example. Organic-cotton wording alone does not establish biodegradability, lower whole-product environmental impact or a medical benefit.
Company HQ: Yuhan-Kimberly · South Korea ↗
Yuhan-Kimberly · Product description · Company-published source
Yuhan-Kimberly’s May 9, 2025 announcement introduces replacement pads for Depend adult underwear. It describes a cotton-like feel, a three-layer absorption design and three fixing tabs.
Cotton-like feel does not mean 100% cotton composition. The release is evidence of the company’s stated material choices, rather than independent verification of medical effects or of the complete product’s environmental impact.
Company HQ: Daio Paper · Japan ↗
Daio Paper · Product description · Company-published source
Daio Paper announced on March 5, 2025 that it would renew the Attento S Care long-duration Double Block pad on March 21. The product is supplied to hospitals and care facilities.
The source also contains company comparisons of rewet and friction. This short account focuses on the material changes; it does not turn those conditional tests into proof of prevention of skin injury or general clinical benefit.
