For the smaller setting, you choose which snap-in insert you would like to use- the mini insert will be less bulky, the long insert more absorbent- it's up to you! Some people choose to use the mini insert during the day and the longer insert at night time on their younger baby.
From there, you simply fold the front section of the nappy down in order to reveal a row of 4 snap sockets. These are the sockets that the studs on the wings snap into to fasten the nappy. To make the nappy tighter on the smaller setting, you snap the left wing as far to the right as desirable for you, and then snap on the right wing. The left wing has two crossover snap sockets- these are there to enable the nappy to be adjusted to fit smaller waists.
For the larger setting, the mini insert is required to add extra absorbency for your older baby. The mini insert snaps into the sockets at the back of the nappy, and the long insert snaps into the two middle snaps at the front of the nappy. Whilst using this setting, the front section is no longer folded down, therefore you use the exposed snap sockets. Again, the left wing is attached first, followed by the right wing, where you may, or may not choose to use the crossover snap sockets.
As your baby grows he/she will probably move right out to the outer snaps. Don't be alarmed if this happens somewhere between the 6-12 month age. This stage is where babies are at their most chubbiest with thick waists. You will probably find that once your baby starts walking they will slim down, and develop a waist- meaning they will move in a few snaps..
Tip: To provide better protection against leaks when your baby is a newborn, tuck the leg frills in.
Tip: Having trouble stretching the front of the nappy up? Rather than holding on to either side of the tummy panel, try holding the nappy where the snap in booster is, and then stretch the nappy up through the legs
Adjusting the nappy sizing.....
Newborn

Snap the small insert into the back of the nappy. Lay baby on the nappy, and bring the nappy up in between baby’s legs. Fold the front of the nappy over to expose 4 snap sockets. Wrap the wings of the nappy around baby’s tummy and snap into the exposed snap sockets. Use the crossover snaps on the wings for a smaller fit. Put cover on over nappy for ultimate leak protection. Tip: tuck the nappy’s leg frills in for even better protection against leaks.
Small-Medium

Snap the small insert into the back of the nappy. Lay baby on the nappy, and bring the nappy up in between baby’s legs. Fold the front of the nappy over to expose 4 snap sockets, though on this setting, you wouldn’t fold it over as far as you would for the newborn setting. Wrap the wings of the nappy around baby’s tummy and snap into the exposed snap sockets. Put cover on over nappy for ultimate leak protection. Tip: for more absorbency, use the longer insert instead of the smaller insert.
Medium-Large

Snap the small inset into the back of the nappy and the long insert into the middle two snap sockets at the front inner of the nappy. Fold the long insert to suit baby’s needs (many people like to fold into thirds at the front of the nappy). Lay baby on the nappy, and bring the nappy up in between baby’s legs, making sure that the layers of the long insert are positioned where needed. Wrap the wings of the nappy around baby’s tummy and snap into the exposed snap sockets. Put cover on over nappy for ultimate leak protection. Tip: for a trimmer nappy, use one insert. For more absorbency use both inserts. For overnight, if you baby is a heavy wetter you might like to use an overnight booster.
TIPS!
- If baby requires extra absorbency overnight, an overnight booster positioned between the nappy and cover makes a world of difference and enables you confidence for a night nappy set up.
- We recommend alternating between 2 covers during the day, letting one air whilst the other is in use, and then swapping them at the next change. This will ensure your covers stay performing at their best!
- If you prefer a stay dry lining in your nappies, we recommend using microfleece liners, which are fully reusable- just wash in with your nappies. Microfleece is a synthetic fabric though, therefore the natural fibres of the nappy wouldn’t be against baby’s skin if using liners. Liners are a personal preference. Some parents use them, some parents don’t. It’s up to you!
