New York, NY (October 24, 2016) – Edgewell Personal Care, owner of the leading infant and toddler care brand, Playtex, has announced that it has licensed the Playtex brand to Ginsey Home Solutions, a manufacturer of innovative home décor and juvenile products. Ginsey will develop and launch a line of potty training and bathing accessories for toddlers. The line launched at the ABC Expo held in Las Vegas on October 18-21.
The potty training line will feature a 3-in-1 potty system, the Potty GenieTM, that includes a floor potty with disposable bags, a removable seat and convertible step stool. In addition to the Potty GenieTM, Ginsey will also manufacture potty rings, flexible secure fitting toilet trainers, travel folding potty seats, cushioned potty seats, step stools with safety grips and a rewards kit. The bath line will include bath mats, infant bath tubs , rinse cups, spout guards and covers, shower head sprayers and sink rinsers.   All products will be beautifully designed with innovative features to keep potty training and bath time safe, neat and easy.
“We are thrilled to extend the Playtex and Playtex Diaper Genie brands to bath time and potty training in partnership with Ginsey,” said Jim Alsante, Group Marketing Director. “For generations, Playtex and Playtex Diaper Genie have been giving moms what they need for better beginnings. Moms credit us with so many firsts and this line from Ginsey is no exception.”
The Potty GenieTM will feature patented technology and include odor control plastic liners to help with cleanup, as well as an innovative lock-in feature to secure the disposable bags in place. A removable ring easily adapts to either round or elongated adult seats, allowing the child to grow with the Potty GenieTM and help transition to a standard toilet. The Potty GenieTM and other products will be available in stores beginning in December.
“Ginsey’s focus has always been on innovation and style for all of our home products,” said Mary Fullam, SVP of Marketing and Brand Development. “We are thrilled to be adding Playtex to our portfolio of licenses. Consumers and retailers want high quality products from brands they trust and Playtex fills this need perfectly.”
The agreement between Edgewell Personal Care and Ginsey Home Solutions was brokered by Edgewell’s licensing agency, Brandgenuity.
“The Playtex licensing program is focused on categories that are a strategic fit for the brand,” said Jay Asher, Managing Director at Brandgenuity. “This license brings together a powerhouse name in baby and toddler care with a leading innovator in the bath and potty space. It’s truly a win-win for both sides.”
