Fit

All nappies, whether that’s a disposable, ‘modern’ or ‘traditional’ cloth nappy takes a little practice to fit correctly and without leaks. One of the significant benefits of flat nappies is that they can all be adapted to fit baby, whereas some people find it a (costly) process of trial and error to find modern cloth nappies which suit and fits their baby well.
