How to Size Free Size Diapers
Rise snap settings:
The Diaper Size is divided into 4 weight categories.
Low Rise setting: Snap the lowest row of buttons to the topmost ones for babies weighing 5 kilograms to 8 Kilograms.
Medium Rise Setting: Snap the second from the lowest row of buttons to the topmost row. Follow this if your baby weighs between 8 kilograms to 11 kilograms.
High Rise setting: For babies weighing 11 kilograms to 14 kilograms, snap the second from the top row of buttons to the topmost row.
No Rise setting: If your baby weighs between 14 Kilograms to 17 kilograms, you need not have rise settings. That is you need not snap any buttons and leave it as such.
Side Snap Settings:
The Rise snap setting is to adjust the length of the cloth diaper. Whereas the Side snap setting is to adjust the hip size of the diaper according to your baby’s. The Flap (wings) of the diaper has 5 columns and 2 rows of buttons. You can snap the tummy panel onto the suitable buttons in the wings. You need to make sure that there is a two-finger size gap at the tummy. So that the diaper is not too tight for your baby.
