Company Summary
The problem in the current design is that the primary absorbent material is wood pulp that makes it thick and stiff and keeps it damp and cold. AAT’s eliminates the need for fluff, reduces the core thickness up to 50%, is more flexible & drier, and improves thermal conductivity. The wearer gets more discretion, comfort and dignity, the #1 unmet consumer need. Package size reduces by 50%, thereby doubling the profit per cubic foot.
