Cottontail said:I often wonder what people are doing that their Underjams and Goodnites are ripping down the sides. I've got a 36" waist now, but even when it was two inches larger, I could stretch into either Underjams or Goodnites and wear them all day without issue. I have two theories on this:
1) People are breakdancing, mountain climbing, or otherwise being FAR more active in their Goodnites than I am. This seems...pretty likely, actually. I'm not a super active person, although I've been working on that lately.
And 2) Presumably these each come from several different factories. Perhaps the diapers being distributed to stores in my area are just...better! That seems a little less likely.
As for what holds more, "pull-up" is kind of ambiguous, so...no idea. Neither Underjams nor Goodnites work well for me, though. The crotch width is simply too narrow. If I clip off all of my hair down there (thereby putting the minimum possible amount of "stuff" into the diaper to begin with), then I can get a single good wetting into both Underjams and Goodnites. Otherwise: Catastrophe!

Maybe, yeah. But my hips are 44". I'm stocky. Still, I've generally found that, if I can pull them on, they stay on and don't rip. Prior to the Goodnites Elastic Revolution of 2015, I couldn't fit into Goodnites without modding the sides (cutting the elastic to make the leg holes bigger). And in those dark times, the sides would rip over time, because I'd gotten them started already.Slomo said:There's also the difference in hip size to ones waist size. Even at the same 36" waist size, someone with a 28" hip size could squeeze into a goodnite, but that wouldn't be possible with a 36" hip size as well.

With regard to which word? I didn't say "fit," did I?Slomo said:Goodnites are designed for a maximum stretch of 29" inches at the waist and hips. I find it incredibly hard to believe that after being stretched out to their max, that they can then be stretched another 51% further without tearing apart.
Also, "you keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means."
