EDANA announced five INDEX26 Award winners at the opening of the nonwovens exhibition in Geneva on May 19, 2026.

EDANA describes the awards as recognising technical excellence and design responding to the demands of a circular economy.
Essity announced the US launch of TENA Men's Washable Protective Boxers on March 23, 2026. The reusable underwear is designed for drips and light bladder leaks and has a protective pouch built into a familiar boxer style. TENA says the pouch uses textile technology to capture drips discreetly beneath clothing. Its construction includes a quick-drying top layer, two layers designed to absorb and retain liquid, and a barrier layer intended to contain leaks.
A US product launch; other markets are not implied.
Grace & Green introduces bladder-care liners, pads and shields for light adult incontinence. The company describes bamboo-based materials in the range and compostable wrappers; the compostability statement refers to the packaging.
See the source for its stated scope and implementation stage.
Ontex introduced its Sensitive adult incontinence range on February 5, 2026, with Sensitive Pants, Sensitive Slip and Sensitive Form set to become gradually available to healthcare institutions across Europe. The company said the range was developed to combine incontinence protection with care for skin affected by irritation.
The listed material and core features concern Sensitive Pants; do not generalise them to every product in the range.
Ontex announced on June 17, 2025 that it was bringing the iD Discreet incontinence range to European healthcare partners, including pharmacies, medical-supply outlets and care facilities.
The announcement extends technology already used in retail products into healthcare channels. It is not evidence that the technology had never appeared before, or independent confirmation of the company’s performance claims.
HARTMANN’s pharmacy information dated February 2025 describes a change to SkinGuard absorbent cores in MoliCare pads and pants, alongside more compact packaging.
