Easy Fold

This is the easiest fold there is. Just fold the diaper into a wrap-style cover. 

1. Lay the diaper out in front of you.

2. Fold in half.

3. Fold in half again.

4. Lay diaper into the cover.

Now all you need to do is wrap the cover, with the diaper, on your baby!.

Twist

This one is also pretty simple. It also reduces the amount of bulk between baby's legs.

1. Lay diaper out in front of you.

2. Lay baby on diaper with top edge at baby's waist.

3. Twist diaper between baby's legs and pull up.

4. Fasten diaper however you wish, then put on a cover.

Angel Fold

A classic.

  1. Lay diaper out in front of you and fold in each side along the stitching lines.

2. Your diaper should now look like this - folded in thirds.

3. Open up the top part of the diaper, leaving the bottom folded.

4. Place baby on the diaper, with the top edge at baby's waist.

5. Bring the folded section up through baby's legs.

6. Bring back corners around to front and fasten.

Fastening Your Diaper

Snappi:

1. STRETCH the Snappi® fastener before its first use. The stretching triggers the 'memory' of the Snappi® to return to its original size and in so doing, pulls the diaper together to the middle to allow for a snug fit. This is essential for the Snappi® to work properly. This can be done by holding the Snappi® in the center with one hand and close to the end of the leg with the other hand. Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h a few times (10 or so). As you do this you should feel how the material 'softens' or gets more elastic. Follow this stretching procedure with each leg. The Snappi® is now ready to go!

2. Make sure that the Snappi® is ATTACHED SECURELY. It is important that the Snappi® 'leg' being attached be stretched across the diaper before hooking it into the diaper.

1. Hook one side of the snappi.

2. Hook the other side of the snappi.

3. Pull the bottom of the Snappi and fasten.

Pin:
 
Keep one hand between baby and diaper, use the other hand to fasten the pin. It's not hard!!

Small Babies:

For a small baby, just fold the front of the diaper down as far as you need to before fastening.
