Huggies has launched a new ad that highlights a pain point that many parents overlook: the discomfort caused by wet nappies.
The 30-second spot opens with playtime interrupted by a squishy, blue 'Geelu Monster' that grows larger as the dampness lingers on a baby's skin. Midway, the Huggies Wonder Pants is revealed to be the solution to avoiding diaper rash, claiming India's fastest absorption time of just nine seconds.
Built out of consumer immersions, Huggies found that mums often don't realise how long their baby's skin stayed damp when their diapers get soiled. The campaign leans on a category insight: many mums believe whatever diaper their baby uses is "good enough" without knowing if it harms their skin.
Through the 'Geelu Monster', Huggies makes discomfort dramatically visible, showing how these are real, nagging issues to parents.
In addition to English, the spot is also dubbed in eight other languages, including Bengali, Hindi, and Tamil.
"The Geelu Monster is more than just a fun creative idea—it’s a powerful way to connect emotionally with parents and highlight a very real issue babies face," Shweta Vig, marketing director at Kimberly-Clark India said.
"The campaign is designed to be both engaging and insightful, and reflects our ongoing commitment to bring innovation and empathy into every Huggies experience," she added.
