FIT GUIDE
A great fit is the secret to leak free nappies.
Even the most absorbent nappy can't do its job if the fit isn't right. These simple steps will help you achieve a comfortable fit that keeps leaks where they belong.
How to fit
Pixie Nappy
Start Low
Position the back elastic in your baby's bum crack. Starting low at the back helps create a good seal and prevents leaks from escaping out the top.
The Taco
Pinch the front of the nappy and pull it up through the legs. This helps the leg elastics sit neatly in the undie line for a better fit around the thighs.
Spread Across the Hips
Before fastening, spread the front panel across your child's hips. The front of the nappy should sit above the thigh, not across it.
Fasten the Snaps
Secure the hip snap first, then fasten the waist snaps. The fit should be snug but comfortable. You should be able to fit two fingers between the nappy and your child's tummy.
Check the Rise Snaps
Make sure the rise snap fold is facing upwards. This helps the leg elastics sit correctly and improves the seal around the thighs.
Tuck the Elastics
Run a finger around each leg elastic and gently tuck it into the bikini line. Check that no absorbent fabric is sticking out around the legs or tummy.
Lift the Wings
Give the side wings a gentle lift so they sit above the thigh rather than cutting across it. This helps prevent red marks and improves comfort.
You're Ready to Go
A well fitted nappy should sit comfortably around the waist and legs without gaps. Remember, the waist snaps don't need to be perfectly even. Every child is shaped differently.

Gremlin Nappy
Start Low
Position the back elastic just above your child's bum crack. The side wings should sit over the top of the thighs, ready to wrap around and create a secure fit.
Taco
Pinch the middle of the nappy and pull it up through the legs. This helps the elastics sit neatly in the undie line and creates a better seal around the thighs.
Bring Around
Bring the coloured side wings around the hips and fasten them to the front panel.
The front snaps are pre set, so there's no need to adjust them.
Secure
Fasten the snaps so the nappy feels snug and comfortable around the waist.
You should be able to fit 2 to 3 fingers comfortably across the tummy. Too loose can lead to gaps around the legs and potential leaks.
Tuck & Tidy
Run a finger around each leg elastic and tuck it gently into the bikini line.
Then lift the side wings slightly so they sit above the thigh rather than across it.
Leak Check
Your nappy is ready to go when:
✓ The back elastic sits above the bum crack
✓ The leg elastics are tucked into the bikini line
✓ The wings sit above the thighs
✓ There are no gaps around the waist or legs
✓ All absorbent fabric is tucked inside
If you've ticked all five, you're set for a comfortable, leak resistant fit.
That last version gives parents a quick checklist instead of just saying "Done!", which is usually more useful when they're learning.
