I wanted to know how close are pull ups 5T and goodnights small in size.
CodyBaby said:With PUll-UPs 4T-5T the velcro sides are the best idea they could have, you can extend the sizes of them easy by cutting some velcro sides of a Pull-Ups and use this part to extend the Pull-Ups size, it won't really fit the proper way you would expect, but it works as intended if you're careful when wetting them, much funny is the Cool Alert ones.
Cottontail said:Indeed. I mean, with modding, you can wear anything! And the hook-and-loop thing presents a unique opportunity, I suppose. The trouble is, the 19" length on Pull-Ups is smaller than all size 6 baby diapers in existence, and smaller even than many size 5's. So keeping them up is the bigger worry! It's sorta funny, because you'd kind of expect a product for older children to be bigger than a product for babies, but because they're going for a low-rise, underwear-like fit with these pull-up products, the opposite is actually true.
But I don't see the hook-and-loop stuff as a big advantage for modding. With Easy-Ups, GoodNites, and UnderJams, it's often enough just to cut away the lower couple of inches of elastic on each side, like this. The elastic welds (or hook-and-loop closures) tend to pop first at the bottom because the leg holes are too small for adults. Alleviate this, and you can often shimmy into them just fine. Even with a 38" waist and 44" hips, that allows me to pull on Easy-Ups, although they do look ridiculous. With the stiffer Huggies elastic, a large-waisted person like me has to get fancier, like this. Regardless, there are answers. I do think that, for many, the idea of modding is a killjoy.
There was a great thread on pull-up modding back in the old TB forum. For better or worse, all those threads are gone now.
