Playtex Currently there are two separate companies with the Playtex name.
Playtex products based in Dover included such brands as Playtex Living Gloves, Almay and Jhirmack. In 1999, the company acquired Personal Care Brands, the makers of Chubs and Wet Ones. The Playtex complex in Dover currently produces tampons and packages infant care products. Disposable baby bottle liners are also made at the site.
Playtex Apparel Inc, based in Stamford (CT) focused on ladies apparel business under the well-known brands of the company such as Cross Your Heart, 18 hours, and many others.

In late 1991, Playtex Apparel was acquired by Sara Lee and got progressively integrated in the Sara Lee’s Branded Apparel Division. In 2006, Sara Lee spun off its clothing sector into HanesBrands Inc., which now runs the Playtex apparel business, as well as other clothing brands such as Hanes and Champion. The exception was the European portion of its branded apparel business which was sold to private investors. As a consequence, European Playtex is now operated along with other brands under the company name of DBApparel, independently from HanesBrands.

In 2007 Playtex Products, Inc. was acquired by Energizer Holdings, and continues to use the Playtex brand name on feminine hygiene (tampons) and infant care products. Other brands not using the Playtex name include the Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropicsunscreens and Wet Ones disposable wipes. Including Playtex, these brands are now part of the Energizer Personal Care division which also includes the Wilkinson Sword and Schick (razors) brands.
