That definitely sounds like a fantastic deal considering the price of the Armors now.
I am an avid fan of these but I simply can't afford them in the UK, shipping here is almost as much as the product itself. At the same time I do agree with what was said about night time, as much as I love them there is no way I would trust one over night at least not on someone older than say 6 years old.
I'm could be wrong but I think they began as Superundies and then created the Threaded Armor brand name leaving Superundies for kids sizes and Threaded Armor for adult sizes. They did have 2 websites, one for each brand, and for a long time you could buy the Armors on the Superundies website but not the other way around and then about a year ago (around Jan 2023) they made a change so that the Armors were no longer available on the Superundies site (it happened shortly after I created my full review of them
Here).
Superundies are now only selling the children's sizes (though the largest of them may be suitable for some smaller/younger adults.)
Cottontail beat me to it in linking the tutorial video for the pads but there is also this video that breaks down the pads.
What is important to note is that, as with any cloth diaper product, layers are important. if you only need it to hold small dribbles or spurts of wee ( i.e. minor IC) then a single Hero (larger snap in insert) and Step up (smaller insert that goes inside) might be ok but for larger wettings you will need multiple step up inserts inside or other boosters as well. When I use them I tend to use one hero 2 step ups and a larger bamboo/microfiber blend 4 layer insert I have from a different source.

I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't trust them for overnight use either. Opinions will obviously vary, but IMO these are best for daytime use and best changed promptly, cover and all. In theory you can just swap dry padding for wet, but I've always found that the internal pocket is too wet-feeling for this to be acceptable. As well, because the crotch is rather narrow, there's a pretty low limit on how much padding you can install. In short: These are my go-to cloth diapers for when discreetness is my number-one priority. They're second to none in that context, and second to most other things in most other contexts.
Again, IMO.
100% agree they are best used as a daytime diaper that gets changed when needed (i.e. not one you can sit in wet for hours as a DL). But I do have a different experience with changing them to you, also not quite sure what you mean by internal pocket? the ones I have don't have a "pocket" per se, the briefs themselves are fully open except for the little gussets at either end that the pads go under, so when the pad gets changed there is no wet feeling since it is the fresh dry padding now against the skin, just different experiences I guess but I can change the pad a few times and not feel any wetness after (have actually used the same shell 2 days in a row just wiped out each time to prevent smells).

The pads they come with are synthetic microfiber which will absorb a lot and fairly quickly but have no holding power. This is why they don't seem waterproof. Most PUL covers are not completely waterproof. If fluids are free flowing in the product they will find their way out through the stitching and seams. The PUL is mostly secondary containment as a moisture barrier. The padding being the primary should be as absorbent as possible to keep fluids from free flowing.
Exactly right, synthetic microfiber is incredibly good at absorbing lots very fast but the slightest pressure and it all comes back out, it is generally best used as a top layer in a diaper to soak wee up quickly and the disperse it into fabrics better suited to holding under pressure and while PUL is my preferred material for plastic pants can be prone to wicking onto the outside and then onto clothes.
The one thing I will say about their inserts being microfiber (and why they actually do work fairly well considering) is that they use a higher GSM fabric compared to most other microfiber inserts you can buy (500 vs 300-350), it doesn't prevent the press out problems but does help a little.

You could try some natural fiber inserts like
these from Leakmaster. Use one of the microfiber inserts on top and stack whatever you need under it. This will end up pretty heavy when wet and could possibly lead to them falling down during activity if they don't fit snug enough. I have tried the newer Threaded Armor pull-ons and the medium is a bit too loose and would fall off. Tried the small and it fit only slightly better than a goodnight. I don't think she did much research on sizing when she designed the adult products.
Yeah their sizing could use some adjustments, maybe even just a couple columns of snaps of the side panels that can be used to make the a little small if needed even on the pull ons. the LM inserts though are a great option, they are a similar size and shape to the step ups so will fit nicely and are much better suited to holding fluid.
These are the
larger bamboo/microfiber inserts I tend to use with them, they don't quite fit inside the Hero (a little too wide) but it's not so much as to be noticeable when wearing and they do the job. The other thing is that I now make my own version of the Threaded Armors (inserts and shells) but I use a bamboo or cotton for both the inserts rather than microfiber and just use one of the microfiber ones as the top layer.
I hope you're not saying that you ordered eight of these without having first tried one. That would be like... a $600 gamble! (Crossing all my digits, ears, and eyes for a good outcome!) They have a
