Prefold Folding Question

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Right now we do the jelly roll fold which I for poop containment but it doesn't seem so comfortable in my babies' fat legs... are there any other folds I should try?

I just trifold & accept that every time ds poops it ends up on the cover (but not on his clothes). It works for us even if it does mean washing covers more often.

We have tried that and it doesn't work well for us... at all. Wish it did since it is so easy!!

I like the bikini twist. The angel fold is also nice, if your prefold is wide enough... but my guy has gotten to the point where he's too wide for the size prefold we have right now, so bikini twist is it.

How do you do the bikini twist on a boy? It always seems like it would hurt their little penis...

I just was watching "robyna" videos on youtube, they have prefold folding examples for several styles with great background music as a bonus.

If you search "robyna prefold" on youtube, the videos should pop up.

you place the twist at their perineum - between the scrotum and the anus. That way it catches the poo and the pee. The penis isn't involved at all.

Personally, I don't like th twist because the poo gets on both sides.

We do a modified jelly roll. I start by folding in and then roll. Try rolling further in so the gusset ends up in the crease between the leg and crotch. So it fits like a pair of undies.

Otherwise, just make sure you get the leg gussets really tight before you snappi - like tighter than you think.
