Competition
When they were first released, GoodNites were an alternative to waterproof mattress pads, and more expensive disposable youth underpants intended for the disabled; as a result, they lacked any direct competition. By the beginning of the last decade, GoodNites' primary competition consisted of store brand disposable sleep pants. In 2002, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark's primary competitor, introduced Luvs Sleepdrys as a direct competitor to GoodNites. Luvs Sleepdrys were discontinued in 2004, and store brands once again became the primary form of direct competition to GoodNites for the next four years. In 2008, Procter & Gamble released Pampers Underjams as another direct competitor to GoodNites. As of 2011, GoodNites' competition comes from both Pampers Underjams and store brand disposable sleep pants.
