Kimberly-Clark Launches Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers; New Super Premium
Diaper Provides Exceptional Gentle Care for Babies

K-C Also Introduces New Enjoy the Ride Rewards Program for Moms

DALLAS, April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:
KMB) today announced the launch of Huggies Pure & Natural diapers, a super
premium diaper that includes natural, organic materials and ingredients to
provide gentle protection for new babies, as well as initial steps toward
environmental improvements, without sacrificing performance.

The new Huggies Pure & Natural diaper is hypoallergenic, latex and fragrance
free and features a breathable outer cover that includes organic cotton. The
liner includes natural Aloe & Vitamin E and materials from renewable sources,
and the product's outer packaging is sourced from 20 percent post-consumer
recycled materials. The new diaper will be offered in 6 sizes, from newborn
through size 5.

K-C expects the Huggies Pure & Natural diapers will help the brand build
inroads with those moms who are most interested in products that include
natural materials to provide the best care for their babies. According to a
K-C consumer research study, the moms surveyed expressed a strong interest in
purchasing Huggies brand diapers that included organic and natural materials.

"The new Huggies Pure & Natural diaper is designed for moms who desire to
provide their babies the best and most gentle care without sacrificing comfort
and protection, while using a product that includes organic and natural
materials," said Robert Thibault, president of Kimberly-Clark's North American
Infant, Baby & Child Care business. "This innovative Huggies brand diaper
offers delicate protection for baby, along with the increased use of renewable
materials, ushering into the category a new disposable diaper that delivers
the utmost in performance and care along with steps toward environmental
improvements."

K-C's retail partners have also shown a strong interest in the new Huggies
premium diaper. Most of the company's customers have already submitted orders
to begin offering Huggies Pure & Natural diapers as part of their infant and
baby care product offerings.

"Based on the preliminary response we've received thus far, we expect the
unique attributes this diaper offers will be well-received by moms and our
retail customers, and will help drive incremental dollar growth in the
category," said Thibault.

The launch of Huggies Pure & Natural diapers will be supported by an
integrated marketing campaign to include print and online advertising, Web
sites, FSIs and in-store promotions. The new diaper will be featured as part
of the Huggies brand's recruitment program for moms, which includes childbirth
education, sampling, in-hospital TV programming and direct mail.

Huggies Pure & Natural diapers will be widely available in North American
retail outlets later in April. For more information on the new Huggies brand
