Explanation of Responses:
1. To date, 204,189 shares of common stock are restricted stock and indirectly held, which vest on the last day of the fiscal year 2007 provided the Executive remains employed and Playtex Products, Inc. attains established performance targets; 6,900 shares are in the name of a trust that the reporting person's wife is co-trustee of and are held indirectly; of the 353,750 directly held shares; 10,000 shares are owned directly and unrestricted; 204,190 shares are vested from the Company's fiscal year 2005, and were released on January 31, 2006, upon approval and attainment of the performance target; and 204,189 shares were vested for the Company's fiscal year 2006, and were released on February 12, 2007, upon approval and attainment of the performance target and the lifting of the Company's blackout period that ended on February 19, 2007. The Company withheld 64,629 shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements, for a net distribution to the Executive of 139,560 shares.
2. On the Form 4 filed on June 14, 2005, there was a 90 share mathematical error, so that the shares issued under the Restricted Performance Stock Plan was 612,568 rather than the reported 612,658.
