Saying Goodnight in Boxers and Pants
New GoodNites® Sleep Pants Help Kids Feel Better About Bedtime
By Katherine Bontrager
"Good night, sleep tight" now has a whole new meaning for millions of children. GoodNites® introduces cool new Sleep Pants that look just like other shorts kids would wear, while providing trusted nighttime protection for kids who wet the bed.
The innovative Sleep Pants – in blue Sleep Boxers for boys and pink Sleep Shorts for girls – look and feel just like the real thing, which translates to more confident and comfortable nights. The hidden absorbent inserts help control odor while providing discreet nighttime protection that's customized just where boys and girls need it most.
Because the best insights often come from parents who have "been there, done that," the idea for the sleepwear was based on feedback from real-life moms. The disposable Sleep Pants, which are made from a cloth-like material that's soft to the touch, look like the boxer-style shorts that are so popular with kids. A continuous waistband offers a comfortable and secure fit. These features help reduce kids' anxiety around bedtime and also help protect their self-esteem.
According to The National Kidney Foundation, an estimated 5 to 7 million children in the United States wet the bed due to heredity, bladder development or just deep sleep. That's a lot of kids with enuresis, but those with the condition still often feel different than others.
