Graphic signals when product should be changed

Kimberly-Clark is offering a Kotex pantyliner with a pH indicator in the form of a printed flower graphic. This gives the product the power to signal to the user when the pH level rises and the product is no longer fresh. This allows the wearer to know when to change the product. The product is one of three finalists for the Hygienix 2022 Innovation Award.

A high pH signals that the product is not skin or vaginal friendly and is creating an environment favorable for pathogen growth and odor.
