Playtex hygiene products

Playtex is a long-standing American brand that has become synonymous with women's personal care and infant products. Originally established in the early 20th century, the brand gained prominence for its innovative use of latex and feminine hygiene solutions. Today, the brand's product lines are divided into different categories, with the feminine care division and the infant care division under separate corporate ownership structures as of the mid-2010s.

The manufacturing of Playtex products takes place in multiple countries, utilizing a global supply chain to distribute goods to North American, European, and Asian markets. While the brand originated in the United States, its ownership transitioned through several major conglomerates before being split. The hygiene and tampon sector is now a core part of Edgewell Personal Care’s portfolio, while the baby products sector is managed by Newell Brands.
