Attento Diapers?

[shinjie]

Does anybody know how to order Attento diapers from Japan? They look so good, but there isn't any link anywhere.

I don't read Japanese so this might be waaaaay off but given that they appear to be made by Proctor & Gamble (logo at the bottom of the page) and that the name ain't a million miles away from Attends, I'd think it's quite likely they are Attends by another name (and design, maybe).

P&G sold the Attends brand to another company about 8 or 9 years ago, which raises a few intriguing possibilities:

• They're made by the new owners (Paperpak, I think) and sold under license in Japan by P&G.
• P&G retained the right to make & sell them in Japan, in which case they may be like the Attends of old (I know a lot of people would be very happy if that were true!)
• They're completely different to the old P&G Attends and the name similarity is a coincidence.
• I'm completely and utterly wrong in every way, which is more than possible

Do we happen to have anyone here who can read Kana to shed some light?

They are made by Proctor and Gamble, and I'm pretty sure it's option #2. They have a clothlike cover and a velcro-y tape zone, no wetness sensor (but they do have a line down the middle so you can get it on straight), odor prevention, and a leak-trapping pocket at the back. I suspect you can get home delivery within Japan (other brands do that), but due to weight and size I doubt you can get them shipped anywhere else for a reasonable price.

I googled Attento Japanese Diapers and discovered that Autie and Torgen are correct in saying they are/were made by P & G.

However, if you do the same (Google), you'll discover endless business news reports to say that although the Japanese market for adult diapers is growing, P & G have been trying to sell the brand off for quite some time now. I don't know the latest news, whether they've been successful and who now owns the brand.

Sorry if this isn't much help in your quest, but maybe you could try emailing P & G?

I think i'll just stand outside Proctor and Gamble HQ, then i'll piss and shit my pants until they give me a case. I know everything about them, they aren't renamed attends. Why is it asia does diapers better? It's like they don't care if you feel like a baby or not, I think im' turning japanese I really think so.

*Scratches head*

If you "know all about them" why did you ask us? No-one suggested they had been renamed Attends, we were only trying to help!

And you can stage a 'Dirty-Protest' outside P & G but I don't think they'll succumb to that kind of pressure. They'll probably call the police!

*helps shinjie pull his foot out of mouth*

In my search, nowhere on Google did I see any way to order Attento Diapers.

As I suggested before, try emailing P & G, as they are the last known owners of the brand. Whether they've sold or not, they should be able to give you the info you need.

Since they still link to it off their front page, I assume they still own it.
