Bedwetting doesn't have to stop your child from doing the things they love. We gave 40 CafeMom members one free package of Limited Edition GoodNites underwear featuring either Spider-Man or Tinker Bell and asked them to try it with their family. The new underwear is not only the most absorbent pant for boys and girls ages 4 and up but they're also specifically made to keep pajamas and bedding dry all night long!

Elizabeth, my 4 yr old, was so excited about getting new "big girl" pull-ups that we used them for daytime as well. Lizzie has some medical issues that make buying a good quality diaper very important; one that fits well, is absorbent and that she feels good about putting on.
At 4 it can be confusing and frustrating wearing diapers, because adults are quick to be "helpful" telling her that "big girls wear underwear; diapers are for babies". She's aware of herself enough to know she's not a baby anymore but being stuck with the problem that she has she still needs absorbent protection against accidents.
I was a little concerned about trying out new "diapers", we've tried so many in the past with varying consequences (mainly messes that don't stay in the diaper) that trying something new just isn't on the top of my list.
Lizzie loves cartoons and Tinkerbell is an adorable character. The pull-ups are much more like underwear than her regular diapers. The pull-ups proved to be absorbent. One downside that we found was that her size; she's only on the 5th percentile which makes the 4-8/s-m size a little bit overwhelming. One other hangup was how hard they were to open up from the sides. For a pull-up that's probably a good thing, but for bm accidents the ability to open them from the sides really helps keep messes where they belong.
I think the product would work great in the right circumstances and the design is nice for little girls who want to feel like big girls but in our situation I'm not sure it's a great fit. If we find a smaller size we might give them another chance but for now I think we'll stick to what we've been using.
I would recommend Tinkerbell GoodNites for the average toddler learning to use the potty-seat but still have night time accidents. They will help your little girl feel like the big girl she is.
Well we have now been using these for almost a week and my first thoughts when we got them was that it was a great way to encourage my daughter to be comfortable with her night time accidents.
When we went to the store I actually asked her to pick out what she wanted and currently one of her favorite characters is tinkerbell, so you can guess that I didn't have to convince her as to which one we were going to be buying. She was thrilled to get "nighttime panties" in her favorite character.
We tried them out the first night and the next morning she wakes up to a soaked bed! I was very disappointed in these on the first night, but decided to keep trying them to see if it was just a fluke. So we got her sheets washed and she wore them the next night with no issues, so we again kept using them for a few more nights. She has stayed dry since, so I'm thinking maybe she had them on wrong and it may have leaked out a leg hole or something like that.
I would recommend these to anyone that has a child that has issues at night because they are exciting to the child and make them feel comfortable about wearing "diapers" to bed, and they seem to be effective (as long as that one night was a one time accident). Thank you to cafemom and goodnights for allowing us the opportunity to try out these new pullups!
I will say this for the GoodNites, they do keep bedwetting to a minimum. As with the bed pads we tried, once we wanted to test them out, we have had no accidents to test them on. That in itself is a good thing. =)
I really like the GoodNites Underwear. Altough untested as of yet, I have no doubt that like other GoodNites product they will perform admirably.
I think they are cute and the boy finds them comfortable. He really likes the designs on them. I have promised no pictures for this influencer since he is a "grown" kid now, but he is adorable wearing them. He has no problem wearing them to bed and thinks they are a good luck charm to keep him from having overnight accidents. At a recent family gathering they came up in conversation and all the moms were impressed with how they look and how they work.
I have two kids... My son was very difficult to potty train. I started around age 2 or so and he wasn't fully potty trained til about 6 or so! He often wet the bed at night so I used Goodnites dilligently LOL :) My daughter is just 2 and we have just started potty training and she is doing great so far. I don't think it will be much longer before she is ready to do it all on her own!
I usually work on getting her to the bathroom every 2 hours. Sometimes even more frequently- like if I see "signs" of her needing to go. We use Huggies brand pull-ups and they are convenient. I also have some padded underwear and waterproof covers that we use now and again. I am very excited to use these Tinkerbell Goodnites with her! Although they are a bit big, I believe they will work ok for what they're meant to do!
I took a pic of the Tinkerbell Goodnites. She saw the package and had to open it immediately! It is good to know how excited she is about using them :)
Grandma found a personalized book about potty training and gave to to my son. Not only was it a special gift from Grandma, but he was the main character in the story! I would only read it to him when he was sitting on the potty so it totally encouraged him since he loved the book.

I have had limited computer access so I have not been able to reply until today. Sorry!
We got the Goodnites! Unfortunately they did not have the Spiderman or Tinkerbell options availble, so we went with McQueen. Not sure why our Target didnt carry the new designs!! So far we have been pleased. I put one on him and most nights he wakes up dry. On the nights where he potty's the bed at least stays dry!
I would recommend these as it is a good transition from diapers to big kid wear. My son doesnt want to be considered a baby so this works well because he thinks they are night time undies! Thanks for the opportunity Cafemom, much appreciated!
When I was first chosen for this the plan was to buy a pack for my 6 yr old. He from time to time still wets the bed ... but he refused, so we ended up buying a pack for our 3 yr old instead! My first thought was that they were pretty expensive but she was excited to pick them out and picked out some Tinker Bell ones! They remind me of pull ups, only the sides don't open. After a few nights of wearing them she still hasn't had an accident, but Im not sure how they hold in wetness yet but they feel thick and absorbent enough. I would recommend them to anyone with a child who is having issues at night time.
Hi My name is a M arisia !I live in northern woods area of wisconsin .I have 2 kids at home ages 5 and 1 .,mY 5 YEAR OLD IS AUTISTIC AND FINALLY ACTIVELY POTTY TRAINING.We started when he was 2 1/2 but because of his disability he has never really been interested .Thn last year he started poooing in the pott on a reg basis and hes almost completely potty traine dthat way but he still is resistant to peeing in the pot so he needs pullups but if he has an accident i fell like they leak more and i have been looking for a betetr way.

Hello! My daughter tried the Goodnites Tinkerbell underwear over the past week and a half since we returned home from vacation. We are in the middle of potty training with her, or more accurately would be at the beginning of training ;) She is almost 3 and very hesitant on wearing regular underwear- she kind of wants little to do with it and asks for her diapers. As soon as she saw the Tinkerbell "special underwear" as we called them, she wanted to wear them! Her and her sister are big Tinkerbell fans. She does have Tinkerbell regular underwear but she loved the purple on these Goodnites.
My daughter is just turning 3 so these Goodnites even in the small size were a bit big for her. However, with the elastic in the waist and legs, she was still able to wear them and they fit well enough that she could run and play and do all of her normal activities in them.
The first night that she was wearing them she made #2 in the potty which was a first!!! I'm not attributing it specifically to the Goodnites but it was an awesome start to wearing them! She was so excited!
Over the course of the next week and a half she started peeing more often in the Goodnites and realized they are absorbant like diapers ;) They ARE very absorbant- more so than a regular pullup. They are very soft and comfortable.
I would try these again if my daughter was bigger or if they made an even smaller size for the 3 year old age range. I think they would be PERFECT for night time potty training!! Thanks to CM and Goodnites for the opportunity to try these!
Is there any way to make tying shoes fun?
