Problems solved by technology

While effort and expense has been expended providing individually wrapped absorbent articles, it has been difficult displaying them to consumers at the point of sale.
However, while windows do allow the consumer to view a wrapper in a package they have some disadvantages.
One disadvantage is increased cost.
Often the price of the material used to produce a transparent window is greater than the cost of material that it is replacing.
However, the larger the window the more absorbent articles are viewable by the consumer at the point of sale, which can increase consumer interest in the package.
