So, ordered a 63-count boys XL last night. Already showed up. A number of things to note.
First off, I ordered from Amazon. GoodNites themselves weren't eligible to be marked as a gift. They explicitly did not have a checkbox for marking them as a gift at checkout, when everything else had that checkbox, which I marked. Previously, marking these as a gift would get them put in Amazon packaging, hiding the shipping box, and containing slips of paper with gift messages. At least, that was the case with a 28-count, as well as a full case of Abena L4s (I think my M4s were purchased as individual packs). While I couldn't mark the GoodNites as a gift, as has happened previously, they still came with a gift note slip. It seems Amazon just marks the whole order as a gift, and ignores your individual selections.
What's different this time, is that instead of being inside an Amazon box with a gift slip, they shipped in their manufacturer's box, with the gift slip held in a plastic sleeve on the outside of the box. This was despite the checkout warning me that it would ship in manufacturer's packaging that might show what's inside, and allowing me to select Amazon packaging to hide what's inside. The Amazon packaging was not used, even though I told them to do so. So, despite ending up being processed as a gift (even though I didn't/couldn't request that), and being explicitly marked to ship in Amazon packaging, they still used the manufacturer's box. I've previously told people that marking as a gift will address your privacy concerns. I guess not.
The manufacturer's box itself is fairly discreet. Just a big G, 63 count, and Kimberly-Clark on each side. Not so discreet is the gap between the box's flaps. The boxes are glued, rather than taped, to avoid people damaging the product with box cutters (there's even a graphic, telling you not to use a box cutter). There's a very useful gap to get your fingers into for opening the box. That gap amounts to a hole around one inch by half an inch, which clearly shows the bags inside.
Previously, the bags inside bulk shipping boxes of GoodNites showed very little through that gap, pretty much just a blue field and some stars. As someone mentioned earlier, they've redone the bags in the bulk shipping boxes. They're no longer generic, nondescript GoodNites bags that only use one color of ink, and don't even bother to say boys or girls (really silly that they didn't at least do that). They're full color retail packages, just without a barcode, and with a message about not being for retail sail. One result of this is that there's an "dn," or other string of characters from the name, prominently lined up with the hole in the box. If someone is familiar with GoodNites, and especially their current branding, it will be glaringly obvious what's in the box. But hey, it's something that will probably only be recognized by people familiar with the product. On the plus side, I could tell I had new packaging without opening the box, because it's the new solid text, not the letters made up of dots/stars.
Also of note with the new packaging, it mentions Quicksorb, but says nothing about gap-free fit.
The GoodNites I received came with the new prints, with extra tall and differently-elasticated blue leak guards, and are significantly higher in rise than the old ones. The padding may be slightly thinner, and I'm unsure, but it may be a hair wider than the old ones, and when I say a hair, I mean maybe an eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch. Comparing old and new ones straight out of the package, the pad definitely appears significantly wider on the new ones, but when I take a closer look, it appears appears the same. I'm not sure if that's the gap-free fit or not.
It's possible that they've just needed to move away from that name, because it could land them in legal trouble if there's a gap.
My new GoodNites are marked with the identifier GN6C at the back right top corner of pant. GoodNites XL from when they were first introduced, on the other hand, are marked GN6I. (I as in India). I'm no longer sure what these designations mean. It's always kind of seemed like they represented revisions, but...that's a lower letter, so I'm puzzled. Perhaps they reset the sequence now and then? The letter may even represent a factory. Hard to say.
