Kimberly-Clark Israel today announced an increase in retail prices for most of its products by between 5.5% and 9.6%.

The final price for the company's products will be determined by the retailers, which will send most of us consumers to check again where we are considered more and where we should buy.

Kimberly-Clark Israel Ltd., owned by the American multinational corporation Kimberly-Clark, imports to Israel consumable consumer products in the field of toiletries, including: paper products, toiletries, hygiene products, diapers, wipes and cleaning

products .

Like: Kleenex, and Cotex for feminine hygiene.

Starting at 14.8 we will pay much more

The company said that in light of the continuing rise in energy prices, imports of goods and maritime transport, while continuing to increase tens of percent in the prices of raw materials of its products (especially cellulose for paper, absorbent for diapers and more), the company decided to raise prices, "relatively moderate to these increases". Of between 5.5% and 9.6%.

The price increase will be in the categories of paper, diapers, wipes, hygiene and home care and cleaning products.

The new price list for retailers will take effect on 14.08.2022 and the final price for the consumer will be determined by the retailers only.

Will we consume less what we do not have to?

Like many other factors that try to justify the significant rise in prices, Kimberly-Clark also states that they tried to avoid it as much as they could and in the end "satisfied" with a relatively moderate price increase.

Although the prices of raw materials (such as absorbent materials for diapers), shipping, the dollar exchange rate, etc. have risen by tens of percent and the price increase is moderate even in relation to them, but the bottom line - the private consumer will pay much more for what he must consume.

Something to keep in mind the next time they try to sell us happy babies in a dry diaper.
