New Goodnites® Nighttime Underwear Size XXL Provides Comfort and Confidence for Older Kids and Teens, Including Those with Autism

April 22, 2025 – The Autism Society of America and Goodnites® are proud to announce the continuation of their partnership in 2025, reinforcing their shared commitment to supporting families managing bedwetting and incontinence, including those with children on the Autism spectrum. This year, the collaboration is even more impactful with the recent launch of Goodnites® XXL, a new size of nighttime underwear designed to fit kids up to 165 lbs.

Incontinence can be a challenge for many children, including those with Autism, and finding the right nighttime protection is crucial for maintaining dignity, comfort, and independence. The new Goodnites® XXL size ensures that more individuals—especially older kids and teens—can benefit from discreet, reliable protection that fits comfortably and helps them stay dry.

For many Autistic individuals, differences in interoception—the body’s ability to sense internal signals like hunger, thirst, or the need to use the bathroom—can contribute to challenges with incontinence. Difficulty recognizing bodily cues may lead to delayed or missed bathroom trips, making reliable nighttime protection essential for comfort and confidence. By addressing this need, Goodnites® provides an effective solution for individuals and families navigating these challenges.

Both organizations remain dedicated to reducing stigma and fostering understanding around bedwetting and incontinence, particularly within the Autism community.

“The Autism Society is thrilled to continue our partnership with Goodnites® as they expand their product line to better serve more people within the Autism community,” said Christopher Banks, President & CEO of the Autism Society of America. “Incontinence can be an ongoing challenge for many individuals with Autism, and having access to comfortable, well-fitting protection is essential for their confidence and quality of life.”

“At Goodnites®, we strive to make bedwetting feel like less of a big deal for children and their families,” added Aaron Gretebeck, Kimberly-Clark’s North American Vice President of Goodnites. “Our new XXL size ensures that even more kids—including those with Autism—can have better nights.”
