Example Sentences
- "Now, truthfully, I don't buy or wear that many night time diapers anymore (since I wear Goodnites with terry lined plastic pants all day at work, my night time wearing has sort of subsided a bit...) and I would like to have some Molicares some day soon."
- "Anyway, yesterday I decided to mess myself in public, so I used a Goodnite under pink cotton bikini pantys and flares from Express. I told my parents I was going to try to get a job application from this bookstore."
- "I told her to put a Goodnite on just in case she could not make it to bathroom. Luckily she did not have an accident. Am I wrong for asking her to put on a Goodnite just in case??? What if she had an accident would help her clean up???"
- "Two Goodnites and I still leaked ☹️"
- "That night I decided to yet again wear a Goodnite to bed and enjoy its tender embrace and then wake and allow it to absorb my pee just as any baby would - which is exactly what I did. What I didn't plan on was my mother barging in to remind me to get ready for school."
- "He strongly preferred the reusable for sleep overs and overnight school trips - they really just look like regular underwear and there's essentially no chance someone would glimpse it and know that it is for nighttime incontinence. That's very different from a Goodnite, which looks like a diaper (as hard as they try with the stripes instead of Winnie the Pooh or whatever as decoration)."
Etymology
Back-formation from Goodnites, a brand of nighttime diapers produced by Kimberly-Clark. Compare Huggie and pamper.
