Okay so I broke down an purchased a pack of the new goodnites...and they are great...they are indeed a little slimmer in the crotch which is good if you do alot of walking around in your diapers...
These are very close if not the same size as the original white goodnites...the padding in the back doesn't come up as high as the previous model and may be only a half inch or so longer from the back.....the big difference is in the front being almost an inch longer.
I have only peed in them once but they seemed to pull the moisture away rather quickly didn't seem to flood like previous types. I will try peeing in them again soon to see how they hold up (hopefully I won't be dissappointed) update: they definately are more absorbant not a whole lot but there is a noticable difference
Also if your like me and like plastic backs you probably know about peeling the cotton off (carefully seems like a hole could tear easily) the plastic seems (could be my imagination) to be better or thicker too. More like the boxer goodnite cover which is great.
Anyone looking for a little fun or has had problems with goodnites in the past should definately give them a try.
PS its nice to see Kimberly Clark finally listening to consumers asking for a bigger goodnite...I know this is a baby step (no pun intended) but its a step in the right direction none the less....
