New Pampers: Need a change

I have an eleven month old baby and I have been using pampers ever since he was born. Till very recently, pampers manufactured in various places like some middle eastern countries were being imported into India. And now an effort by the parent company P&G itself has resulted in their being manufactured solely for India.

I want to lodge a strong protest against this.

The pampers being supplied now to the indian market are very SUB-STANDARD and NOT like the pampers availbale internationally or even locally till now. My son who's never had a rash- both with the help of extreme care on my part and good quality diapers on their's, complains whenever it's been more than a couple of hours. The reason is very easy to see.

The material being used is not like the breathable material used earlier, so it feels heavy and plasticky: FOR TENDER BABY SKIN IT"S A DISASTER.

The fastener strips are HORRIBLE- BITING into baby thighs.

There are ONLY three sizes now available. WHY? Do they at pampers feel that indian babies come in three sizes only?

I would like to ask the intelligent brains who actually made this switch between good quality diapers and sub standard thailand made rubbish-

Did you take this decision after trying out your own product on your babies?

Do you or your near ones even have babies who use this?
Because I am sure if you had tested this prduct out before thrusting it down our throats, you WOULD NOT have made this decision.

Do you think that Indians cannot apreciate quality or is what is being supplied now, considered good enough for our children; when clearly your international product range is phenominally different and CHEAPER.

On your international website you make tall claims:

"New Pampers has been uniquely developed for Indian babies with three distinct features: (i) Absorbent Gel Material (AGM) technology
for superior urine absorption, transformation into gel and no leakage ensuring a good night's sleep (ii) Special
low coverage Bikini Shape for freedom of movement and comfort in hot and/or humid weather condition and
(iii) Re-fastenable tape allowing mothers to open and re-fasten diapers as many times as they need to adjust
the fit or check for soiling, without losing its grip (unlike regular glue tapes). This provides babies utmost
comfort, protection from wetness versus cloth, skin remains dry even with multiple wettings, thus leading to
longer hours of uninterrupted sleep."

But has anyone tested these out on real babies- because if they had- all their claims would fall flat.
The real reason is price war- and like all other companies they want a piece of it. If their NEW pampers are so good- why don't they TRY to get the world to bite into their spiel, why use India as a dumping ground?

I bought pampers from Paris- even Paris was cheaper AND PERFUMED!

We had looked forward to the product being made for the Indian market but now can only feel bad at such a shabby attempt.

IS ANYONE LISTENING?
