Examples

“I am in New Zealand, and there seems to be very little in the way of nappy wraps available. I have⟳ got used to using a really simple fleece wrap⟳ with velcro, but the leg gussets are made with a waterproof polyester that doesn't seem to stand⟳ up to the rigours of urine!”

“So try⟳ to secure his nappy so it can't be loosened or removed. This may require⟳ using nappy pins to fasten terry nappies (rather than using a nappy wrap⟳ with Velcro closings), pinning the nappy to your toddler's vest with nappy pins, or using snug, pull-on plastic pants over the nappy (which might increase⟳ the risk⟳ of nappy rash, so make⟳ sure you change⟳ nappies frequently).”

“Changing a non-disposable fabric nappy. Follow⟳ the instructions as above, plus: […] Make⟳ sure the nappy is folded correctly before you begin⟳. (If you're using a waterproof nappy wrap⟳, insert⟳ the nappy into it first.)”
