About Lifree
Lifree is Unicharm's adult incontinence brand, launched in 1987 well before the category mattered commercially in most countries. Japan's ageing population made it one of the company's largest businesses. Adult incontinence products now outsell infant nappies in Japan, a crossover that happened years before it was reached anywhere else.
