As the second largest personal care product group in the world, Kimberly-Clark's brand Gaojiesi has created a number of "firsts" in the course of development: it is the world's first brand of women's sanitary napkins, invented sanitary pads, and is the world's first brand to popularize menstrual knowledge to the public.
In the United States, Europe and Asia, the company is a leading brand with a market share of the top three, second only to Dambis and Bedex. In December 2018, Groce announced a recall of tampons in the United States and Canada, and some batches of recalled products had cotton wool rupture during the removal process, and at present, the recalled products have been destroyed. As a specific batch of product is sold in some regions, the high-quality tampons have not been affected by the turmoil in most markets.
Although the background of Gaojiesi is strong, the comfort of the tampon is not outstanding, and the recognition is slightly inferior to that of Lillaith. In China, Gaojiesi is better known for its sanitary napkin products, in fact, its cotton sliver products are also abundant. The outer catheter of the Gauze Tampon is designed with a transparent segment to allow first-time women to better push the inner tube into the correct position. Most tampons have a cotton thread bearing capacity of 3kg, but the cotton thread of Gaojie Silk has a bearing capacity of 9kg.
The main series of high-quality silk tampons include Sleek long catheter, Click short catheter and Fitness sports model. The Sleek series is slightly thinner than Dambis and easier to place. The grip is made of soft plastic, and the connection between the conduit and the sliver is matte, which is easy to grasp and can effectively prevent falling off. However, due to its small diameter of tampons, its absorption speed and absorption power are slightly inferior to that of Lillaith. Each box of 17 pieces is priced at 88 yuan.
The Click series is the pioneer of the retractable catheter, which has a relatively smooth grip and is suitable for novices. However, the cotton thread design of the sliver is relatively ordinary, and it is not set up as a woven type like Danbis, and consumers generally report that the high-quality silk is full of leakage, and there are occasional cotton wool chips. The flow model of the Click series is the same as the Sleek series, and the price of 18 pieces per box is 59.9 yuan.
Compared with other series of the same brand, the Fitness sports series has a better leak-proof effect. It also comes with a compact and durable FitPak container that can hold up to 3 slivers at a time, making it easier to carry and store in your gym bag. However, the Chinese flagship store has not been sold for the time being, and can only be purchased through overseas shopping or purchasing channels, and the price of 31 pieces is 65 yuan.
