I have a larger than average three year old who still needs to wear something for nighttime sleeping. The largest size diapers do not fit well enough to remain secure during the tossing and turning most young children experience at night. The product description fails to mention the weight range that the various sizes fit. The Large/Extra Large fit 60-110+ lbs (27-50+kg). The Small/Medium fit S-M: 38-65 lbs (17-29 kg).The absorbency surprised me. I was concerned that these were tailored for older children who may experience one accident while sleeping, and was prepared for possible leaks since some nights my daughter was still soaking diapers. I have yet to have any leaking.
For those with older children who are concerned with odor and visibility, I will be honest with you. If your child does not wake up after wetting herself, by morning there may be a faint odor (after approximately 6 7 hours) which does get stronger as time goes by. The Goodnights Shorts also get a bulky look to them if they become soaked with urine.
If your child has only a slight bed wetting problem, these will work great for her. If your child will sleep through multiple wettings, I would make sure she is wearing baggy pajama pants so that the bulk does not show during sleepovers. If you are simply using these at home to protect the bed, I believe it would take an awful lot of wetting to actually have any leaks.
Another positive is that GoodNites brand is eligible for Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
All in all, I am happy with the product. The only reason I did not give it a full 5 stars is because it is marketed for older children who do not want to be embarrassed at sleepover events, and the potential for bulk and slight odor does exist. I will continue to purchase these until my daughter stops the night time wetting.
