diaper with the Snappi clip.

Below you will find the steps on how to fold our cloth diapers with the help of the
Snappi fastener. You can use the same method with diaper pins, just substitute the
pins for the Snappi (you won't need to secure the middle part).

If you prefer to fit the diaper into your diaper cover, simply fold the diaper into thirds
lengthwise and insert the diaper into the front fold (if available). Be sure to fold the
back portion of the cloth diaper so that it fits inside the diaper cover.

Remember, regardless which folding method you use, the cloth diaper should be fully
covered by your waterproof diaper cover (if you are using one) to prevent leaks.

Happy Diapering!
