That would explain this, I still have nearly half a pack of the tighter ones, I may get a pack of the L just to see if its right and they are the same, to me they were tight, but not impossible to wear, they just didn't do their job properly because they were in fact too tight especially in the crotch area to absorb correctly compared to the normal L/XL version. Still don't see them on amazon or wal-mart canada website, but I would be surprised if we see them before may or june here, we generally have supplies later than in US. I'm even surprised we can't get the sample on the Canadian version of goodnites website, but I guess it must be complicated, if someone can confirm if the sample packs have french language on them or not, this would put a definitive answer, if they are english only, we won't get the samples in Canada (strict rules block us from getting any product that won't have french language on them) I know the packages and box and descriptions of the actual products are in french and english, so we will get the products, I'm just not sure if sample has french marketing materials with it.
