Source and evidence

חיתולי האגיס שוב מתכווצים ומתייקרים, גם פמפרס וטיטולים הוקטנו ynet.co.il

Source fetched 2026-10-21. All 54 ynet cases.

ynet: Huggies Freedom Dry, Israel's best-selling diaper, sells for ₪41.90–53.90 (₪21.90–31.90 on promotion); the price was not cut in line with the count. ynet says it held 30 before 2025 (10% fewer since). Note: ynet's July 2025 report gave this pack's 2025 cut as 32 → 28 (ynet.co.il), which does not match '30 before 2025'; we record only the 2026 cut (28 → 27), which both reports agree on, and no 2025 row for this size. Kimberly-Clark: 'The change in the product is communicated transparently and as required on the front of the pack. The consumer price is set by the retailer alone.'
