NEENAH, Wis., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Huggies®, a Kimberly-Clark brand, is excited to announce that its Designer Tubs have been awarded the 2014 Product of the Year winner in the Baby Care category by Product of the Year USA, a consumer-selected award celebrating product quality and innovation.

Only Huggies Wipes feature ultra-hip and sleek packaging in multiple designs– for a simple way to liven up your home's personal decor and express personal style while keeping it clean and fresh. They're filled and re-fillable with Huggies Natural Care® Wipes with Triple Clean* layers (strong, soft and absorbent layers) that are gentle on baby's skin, yet thick enough to clean everything from baby's hands, faces and bottoms to high chairs and kitchen counters.

"Parents have known all along that baby wipes can clean more than just baby bottoms. Hand and face cleaner, kitchen mess helper – they're versatile enough to handle it all. But, we discovered that  parents did not like the look of the baby-looking packaging in their main living spaces, so they would tuck wipes away which made it hard to get to them when messes happened," said Keegan Coulter, senior brand manager for Huggies. "Our designer tubs are the perfect solution – they have discrete branding and on-trend graphics that can be proudly left out in any room of the house.  We're thrilled to be chosen as Product of the Year and are excited to introduce new graphic designs this summer to continue to provide effective, convenient and stylish products to meet parents' needs."

Huggies Designer Tubs are available at grocery stores and mass retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.99.
