Size 8s are comparable to Small Goodnites and even then thats a bit bigger than the 8s. From experience the 8s fall closer in line to the biggest sized Huggies Pull-Ups aka 5T-6T which themselves are the lower range of Small Goodnites. They're better as stuffers unless you want to try the diaper extenders for baby diapers. At that question its more how much of the diaper covers the front and back.yellowcrayons said:
awe darn then there's no way it'll fit me!! i dont think i can wear a size small goodnite. thanks for the info though! i think theyre better as stuffers then.Noodle said:
Yep sadly as much as the dream of Size 8s fitting when you fit Goodnites is nice it's not really the best. As I said you could try diaper extenders which do exist and can easily be made if you really want to wear it with some usability absorbency wise but in the long run i argue you're better off looking for something like Goo.N Super Bigs from Japan and importing those.yellowcrayons said:
"As low as zero" or "Down to zero" would make sense, but marketing never thinks of such things. Marketing will never cease to be unintentionally funny to people who analyze the things they say.
I thought I saw 8 on at least one, but I didn't zoom in. Anyway, laughable fitment either way.I12BLittle89 said:
Even the kid they picked to be the model on the packaging itself looks way too small. Compared to the girl on the size 7 packaging, he’s tiny.PadPhilosopher said:
Nice fit looks like they're hanging by a thread LO.L Nice little package looks wetDormboyy said:
The "up to 100% leak free" or "up to zero leaks" thing has been a thing for a while. Both Kimberly-Clark (Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites, Poise, Depend, and I think Kotex) and Procter and Gamble (Pampers, Luvs, Always) have both latched onto that phrasing (neither of them seem to have trademarked it, and whoever used it first, I think P&G, is probably regretting that) as a way to try and get way with claiming their products to be totally leak free. They're both using it for baby, toddler, youth, and adult products. It's a universal marketing phrase.PadPhilosopher said:I took a moment to study their scAmazon page for size 8, and noted several things I found amusing. I noted that their model didn't fit the diaper at all; it was preposterously enormous on him, and would have leaked like a sieve. I assume that they used whoever's kid was available just to get a few pictures of the actual product "in use," without having to argue with an older one, who fit it correctly, objecting to having his picture taken in just a diaper.
I also noted that their marketing department came up with the mathematically absurd thought "up to zero." In finance, perhaps, that might make sense, but how do you have a negative number of events?

The 62 count boxes are still in stock FWIW. Not surprised they sold out though. Size 8 Snug and Dry sold out too.Honeywell6180 said:
I'm glad that I made the decision to order them ahead of time.PaddedRebel said:
I’m waiting to see if stores physically stock them. Might grab a box then. I did snag a box of the new 5T-6T Night Time Pull Ups though.N0bu said:
Me too. No point in buying them if other people with similar dimensions to me say that they don’t come close to fitting.PaddedRebel said:
At least they increased the weight capacity. Instead 35+ lbsSparkyDog said:
yea but you will find the diapers are basically the same size as & fit the same weight people as previous biggest sizePampers4Ever said:
What brand are they?Joediaper said:My thought process on this is adding in the fit of 1-6 on the size people they are designed for. They are supposed to fit snug around the waist but there is a gap through the middle. Sometimes considerable when they are in between sizes and need to size up. This gap of air space is a part of why these diapers perform so well.
The size 9 may "fit" an adult XS but you can also squeeze an average sized 4 yr old in a size 5 diaper. For proper fit a 4 yr old would need a size 6. An XS adult would need a size 10. I took an image and made an outline for reference.
View attachment 133778This was a toddler somewhere between two and three.
The black line represents the silhouette of the body, blue is the diaper and red is the elastics. The elastics play an important roll in the creation of the air gap represented in... umm... we'll just call it cyan. They add to the bunching and folding of the padding that pushes it away form the skin. This is a bit exaggerated of course likely because this diaper was a bit on the big side for this particular wearer but leads to the next part.
This modification I did of a BetterDry is borne from a size medium. The wings are still the same width as they were when it came out of the package.
As you can see I'm pushing the limits of the diaper for a proper fit and my waist is only 32 inches (81cm) and my hips are 36 (91cm). Being an actual size medium adult this diaper should be just a bit bigger than it is. I would put this one between a small and medium leaning more towards small.
Based on size charts for kids, current diaper sizes for babies and toddlers, adult size charts and proper fit as described above I see a size chart looking something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 to 6 M 6 to 12 M 12 to 24 M 2T - 3T 3T - 4T 4T - 5T (4/5 XS) 6 - 6X (S) 7-8 (M) 10 - 12 (L) 14 - 16 (XL)
Adult XS
11 12 13 14 15 16 S M L XL XXL XXXL
