Electronic sensor?

[edit]

I have heard that they are developing a new technology for the good nites diaper. It will have an electronic sensor to detect moisture, and it will then sent a shock to the wearer, thus encouraging them not to pee. too much shock can kill them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.112.9.171 (talk) 16:39, January 2, 2007‎

There are products available that detect moisture and then use either an alarm clock or a vibrating mattress cover to wake the sleeping person up. That way, they wake up, go to the bathroom to do their business, and then go back to bed. The goal is that their body will then associate having to go with waking up, so they won't need the alarm forever. I'm not aware of any products that use anything painful, and there certainly wouldn't be any products that were dangerous. 138.89.127.52 03:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GoodNites® Youth Pants

GoodNites® Youth Pants (DryNites in the UK and its commonwealth realms) are used as a way of managing bedwetting. They are disposable absorbent garments which mimic underwear and are designed for children and teenagers who experience bedwetting. They are manufactured by Kimberly Clark (makers of Huggies® diapers and Depend® Briefs). GoodNites Youth Pants are designed to look more underwear-like than diapers or training pants so as to make older children more apt to wear them. They are convenient for children to wear every night even if they only sleep wet occasionally. GoodNites Youth Pants are designed to meet the special needs of children four and older. The original garment was more similar to a blank, unisex diaper, and it came in two different sizes. The smaller size, Medium, was designed for children 45-65 pounds. The larger size, Large, was designed for children who weighed more than 65 pounds. However, subsequent design improvements have helped to distinguish between Goodnites Youth Pants for Girls and Goodnites Youth Pants for Boys. Goodnites for Girls feature a butterfly and flower pattern, which was released in 2008. In previous years, they have featured ballerinas (2007), pixie fairies (2006), butterflies (2005) and flowers (2004). In 2008, Goodnites for Boys featured BMX Bicycles. Before this, they featured Soccer Players (2007) Dragsters (2006), ATVs (2005) and BMX Bicycles (2004). The current version of GoodNites® Youth Pants claims on its packaging that its underpants have the “Best Protection”. An updated version, slated to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2010, feature softer side panels, a more underwear-like appearance, and a quieter, more discreet product material. This upcoming version will be renamed “underwear” rather than “underpants” because of these improvements and their resulting proximity to underwear garments. The latest version also features a colored waistband. Kimberly Clark currently markets two types of youth pants, Underwear and Boxers, each available in 2 sizes: Small/Medium (38-65lbs) and Large/XL (60-125+lbs).

Product History

Early Designs Prior to 2004, Goodnites® Youth Pants were unisex, plain white garments with only a faux tag printed at the back of the pant. The original Goodnites Youth Pants were released in 1994. They were slightly larger, longer, bulkier, and more absorbent than later models. These were plain white, with a faux tag printed at the rear, to help kids know which way to put them on. These originally came in 2 sizes: Medium (45-65lbs) and Large (65-85lbs). In 1999, they introduced a new size, XL (85lbs-125lbs and up).

Big Changes In 2000, Kimberly-Clark redesigned GoodNites® underpants to ensure a better fit for boys and girls. In 2001, GoodNites came out with a new version that had improved leakage performance. In 2003, the physical size of GoodNites Youth Pants was reduced. Later that year, the "Trim-Fit" style debuted, leading to a drastic reduction in padding thickness and the overall size of the pant. In spring of 2004, gender-specific Goodnites Youth Pants appeared with customized absorbency zones for boys and girls. In the same year, GoodNites went from three sizes to two. The way the sizes were measured changed also. The Medium size became S/M (Small/Medium) and the Large size became L/XL (Large/Extra Large). The XL size went away. In 2006, the graphics on the garments were refreshed in an effort to make them more age-appropriate and less diaper-like in appearance. From 2004 up through the present, there remain two sizes: the S/M, designed for bedwetters who weigh 38-65 pounds, and the L/XL, designed for bedwetters who weigh 60-125+ pounds. Although the girls’ and boys’ versions are similar in many ways, they have different zones of protection to better meet the respective needs of boys and girls. The girls' version is more absorbent in the middle than the front or back, with the boys' version more absorbent in the front than in the middle or the back. The boys' version also has extra room in the front for a boy’s anatomy.

Boxers and Sleep Shorts Introduced in 2007 were the new Goodnites® Boxers and Sleep Shorts. They are a product designed to look and feel like boxers or shorts while absorbent like other GoodNites products. Some people have reported that they are smaller than the comparable "brief" style. They are blue for boys and pink for girls. The outer covering is cloth-like to look like a boxer-short, and the inside has an absorbent pad that is supposed to enable a loose, more boxer-like fit. Many teenagers wear these without wearing any pants or other boxers over them.Appetite for Correctness (talk) 22:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the capitalization of the article's title

[edit]

The article is still titled "GoodNites," but that brand name was changed to "Goodnites," which is why an editor correctly reflected that in the info parts of the article. We should change the article title, right? PiratePablo (talk) 17:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PiratePablo yes DANIELJMARTINEZ (talk) 00:53, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
