About Moony

Moony is Unicharm's premium nappy brand in Japan, and its reputation for softness made it a major grey-market export to China before the company built local distribution. It competes directly with Kao's Merries. Both brands built their reputations on materials rather than absorbency, which is where Japanese nappies differ from Western ones.
