Has anyone heard a rumor about Rearz making a 1990’s style Goodnite replica? I thought I hear something a while back but hadn’t heard much recently.

Wonder if they have but they're at a sticking point of no return. I imagine they would give them some upgraded features, unisex design for the core, dual standing leak guards, etc, but a waistband that is faithful to the old without being the junk Depends turns out, like Bambino's pull up floppatrick1776 said:I've wanted a goodnites replica for the abdl market since I still could wear goodnites as a teenager. I would love it if someone would make them, but I am not optimistic it will happen any time soon if ever. It's possible rearz has looked into it, but I don't think there is anything currently in late development or production.
Same. They'd make a killing in sales if they could produce them. Wonder if they'd be willing to share some issues that maybe we could comment on and make these a realityGoodniteLover219 said:It's a shame really. I grew up with the plain white 90's Goodnites. Memories of my childhood.
Always good the Rearz rep can set the record straight. I know it smacks down on some folks hopes though!RearzJacob said:This is a rumour.
We have to stay away from any copyrighted content. That seems to be something that is always asked for. It would be awesome but not something we can do yet. Maybe one day.JOCKMAN said:Always good the Rearz rep can set the record straight. I know it smacks down on some folks hopes though!
Just curious, what exactly would be the copyrighted content in this case? If it was simply an all white adult pull on brief, I think there would be many companies being sued for an infringement, and considering that Kimberly Clark has not made that design in over 15 years how would it still apply, is there something that specific if you were to produce a faithful scaled up replica that would cause the infringement? Even if it's features from years ago that KC may not even still use currently?RearzJacob said:We have to stay away from any copyrighted content. That seems to be something that is always asked for.

I'm not sure I see a copyright issue here either. It's probably more a matter of manufacturing capability--of getting those smooth elastic panels instead of the usual frilly stuff.FudgedInLuvs said:Just curious, what exactly would be the copyrighted content in this case?

Replicating the current Goodnites might run into copyright issues in terms of designs, but I think he is actually referring to patent issues for the vintage Goodnites. It's likely KC still holds the patent to some of the technology in the original Goodnites, even if they don't us it anymore for modern versions. I am guessing that is why KC's line of training pant products, Pull Ups and Goodnites, have the smooth elastic sides while P&G uses the scrunchy sides, because they hold the respective patents to them. But patents expire after 20 years, so perhaps some of the patents on the old Goodnites have/will expire/d so ABDL companies can use the technology. And then comes the problem of implementing the technology, because it is likely KC has special equipment for it, so ABDL companies would have to find equipment that is also able to do it and size it up.FudgedInLuvs said:Just curious, what exactly would be the copyrighted content in this case?

But c'mon. Plain white?! JeeeEEEEeeeez. If you're going to do ABDL GoodNites, gender-specific prints are a must! I vote that they be named "Bella Notte," and be printed with cartoon cocker spaniel puppies (for girls) and gray mutt puppies (for boys) eating spaghetti. With the right art style, Disney's hackles might stay down, and Bambino's yawn-inspiring sequence of Italian adjectives would be one-upped.

I would love some adult size 2006/7 ballerina Goodnites and the 2008/9 purple butterfly Goodnites as well.Mauiman said:This would be very cool if there could be adult sizes of GoodNites Underpants in a few of the key favored designs including their ventage white ones.
