Abstract
A method of providing a series of types of pant-like garments and corresponding information to consumers. The series includes two or more pant-like garments, each of the garments corresponding to a stage of toilet training. Each of the garments in the series may differ from one another in terms of absorbent capacity, size, and/or features. The information provided to the consumer helps the consumer discern which garment from the series is most appropriate for a child in a specific stage of the toilet training process.
Claims35
A method of providing a series of types of training pants to consumers, comprising:
- providing a series of at least three different types of disposable pant-like garments, each garment type differing from at least one other garment type in at least two ways, the at least two differences selected from the group consisting of:
- size, level of absorbency, refastenability of side seams, gender specificity, and wetness indicators;
- and
- conveying information to a consumer describing signals displayed by a child that indicate greater applicability of one of the types of pant-like garments in the series over the at least two other types of pant-like garments in the series for that child.
A method of providing a series of types of training pants to consumers, comprising:
- providing a series of at least three different types of disposable pant-like garments, wherein at least two of the garments are targeted to fit wearers in a first weight range and at least one of the garments is targeted to fit wearers in a second weight range, and the at least one garment that is targeted to fit wearers in a second weight range has a lower absorbent capacity than the at least two garments targeted to fit wearers in the first weight range, the first weight range being lower than the second weight range;
- and
- conveying information to a consumer describing signals displayed by a child that indicate greater applicability of one of the types of pant-like garments in the series over the at least two other types of pant-like garments in the series for that child.
A method of providing a series of types of training pants to consumers, comprising:
- providing a first series of disposable pant-like garments, wherein the first series includes at least three garments designed to fit wearers of different sizes, each of the garments of the first series having a first level of absorbency;
- and
- providing a second series of disposable pant-like garments, wherein the second series includes at least three garments, the garments in the second series corresponding in size to the garments in the first series, each of the garments of the second series having a second level of absorbency lower than the first level of absorbency.
A method of providing a series of types of training pants to consumers, comprising:
- providing a series of at least three types of garments, a first garment type having a small size and an absorbent capacity of at least about 400 grams, a second garment type having a relatively larger size compared to the small size and an absorbent capacity of at least about 400 grams, and a third garment type having a relatively larger size compared to the small size and an absorbent capacity of less than about 250 grams.
A method of providing a series of types of training pants to consumers, comprising:
- providing a series of at least four garment types including a first garment type having a first size, a second garment type having a second size larger than the first size, a third garment type having a third size larger than the second size, and a fourth garment type, wherein the first, second and third garment types have an absorbent capacity of at least about 400 grams, and the fourth garment type has an absorbent capacity of less than about 250 grams.
