K-C's GoodNites rolls out Tru-Fit solution for bedwetting

Nearly one-in-six children ages 4 - 12 in the United States wet their beds. The emotional toll on families is extensive, hurting children's confidence and self-esteem and frustrating parents. With back-to-school approaching and children participating in more overnight social activities with classmates, these issues can escalate and even cause kids to avoid those activities.
 
Heeding parents' desires for a discrete and reliable bedwetting alternative, Kimberly-Clark's GoodNites brand - a leading manufacturer of bedwetting management solutions - has introduced TRU-FIT, cotton-blend underwear with disposable, absorbent inserts. This unique product washes and feels like regular underwear and provides the nighttime protection to help keep sheets and pajamas dry at night. Eighty-seven percent of Moms who tried TRU-FIT said it will make their kids more confident.1 
 
"GoodNites TRU-FIT is an innovative product born from the consumer insight that mom desires greater normalcy in managing bedwetting to help her child feel more confident," says GoodNites Senior Brand Manager Doug Daniels. "Bedwetting is common - and it's our mission for mom & child to have the resources, education and support they need to successfully manage this condition."
 
About Bedwetting 
GoodNites commissioned a survey to uncover consumer perceptions associated with bedwetting. 
 
Among the findings: 
-43 percent of parents incorrectly believe that bedwetting can be "trained" out of a child. 
-41 percent of parents of bedwetters describe it as frustrating. 
-51 percent seek a better overall bedwetting product. 
-More than one-quarter express anxiety about their child spending the night somewhere and wetting the bed. 
 
Results also indicate many parents often are confused about bedwetting and find it difficult to discuss the condition or determine the best approach to help their child manage it. Additionally, as bedwetters get older, they may start to feel different from other children and suffer from low self-esteem. 
 
"Many families don't realize that enuresis, more commonly known as bedwetting, is a temporary condition that children will grow out of once the bladder develops fully, which usually takes about three and half years," says Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, nationally renowned pediatrician, mother and GoodNites NiteLite panelist.  "TRU-FIT underwear looks and feels like regular underwear and will boost bedwetters' self-confidence."
