"Good night, sleep tight" now has a whole new meaning for millions of children. GoodNites® introduces cool new Sleep Pants that look just like other shorts kids would wear, while providing trusted nighttime protection for kids who wet the bed.

The innovative Sleep Pants – in blue Sleep Boxers for boys and pink Sleep Shorts for girls – look and feel just like the real thing, which translates to more confident and comfortable nights. The hidden absorbent inserts help control odor while providing discreet nighttime protection that's customized just where boys and girls need it most.

Because the best insights often come from parents who have "been there, done that," the idea for the sleepwear was based on feedback from real-life moms. The disposable Sleep Pants, which are made from a cloth-like material that's soft to the touch, look like the boxer-style shorts that are so popular with kids. A continuous waistband offers a comfortable and secure fit. These features help reduce kids' anxiety around bedtime and also help protect their self-esteem.

According to The National Kidney Foundation, an estimated 5 to 7 million children in the U.S. wet the bed due to heredity, bladder development or just deep sleep. That’s a lot of kids with enuresis, but those with the condition still often feel different than others.

Looking and feeling like the other kids at a sleepover or at camp can help kids overcome the anxiety they feel about bedwetting. In fact, many children who would have turned down an offer for a nighttime birthday party or even a weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's may find new confidence through the Sleep Boxers and Sleep Shorts. This trusted protection in a comfortable and cool-looking style can help children who wet the bed feel just like other kids.

Cuddling with Mom and Dad, reading stories and talking about the day top the list of bedtime activities kids enjoy. If you don't already have a bedtime routine in place, consider starting one tonight to make nighttime something to look forward to. Just as important as brushing teeth, washing hands and putting on GoodNites® Sleep Pants are singing songs, tucking kids into bed and saying, "I love you."

A positive nighttime routine, coupled with the trusted protection of GoodNites® Sleep Pants, can make all the difference in your child's self-esteem and attitude toward going to sleep.

It's always good to prepare your child when introducing something new. The key to easing any anxiety over a change in product or routine is to sit down and talk through it.

When introducing the Sleep Pants, find a quiet moment when it's just the two of you. Bring the Sleep Pants out so you can explore them together. Explain to your child how the Sleep Pants differ from the previous style: point out the cool new design that's just like other shorts he or she wears, the hidden spot that helps protect against wetness and odor, the comfortable material and the fun color. Then ask your child what he or she thinks of them. Answer any questions that he or she may have.

Ask your child to give the Sleep Pants a try. The next morning, casually inquire how the night went. Did your child feel protected? Comfortable? Secure? A few nights of success with the Sleep Pants may make a world of difference in how your child feels about bedtime.
