I know the bikini twist is supposed to create a pocket for the poop but frankly experience has shown me that the newspaper fold works better at containing things. Plus the poop gets into the creases of the bikini twist whereas with the np fold it's all in one area...sort of. I pin and find I get a better fit than with a snappi. HTH

I was soooooo disappointed with prefolds the first time my baby had bf poop in it - there was poop everywhere!
I ONLY use pull-ons on my baby, so the functionality of the diaper depends solely on my folding and pinning/snapping it properly.
All it took was some practice.

Now, no matter whether I do a bikini fold or newspaper fold, my son's poops are ALWAYS nicely contained. It NEVER leaks into the cover anymore!!
As to the fold, the bikini fold has become my absolute favorite

because of my son's chubby legs.
I actually used to only like newspaper fold on my son because I just could not get his "twig and berries" to stop scaping from the bikini fold. It took a little practice and now it works perfectly.
As to Snappis, IMO, it is much easier to contain poop using Pins to hold the prefold in place - you get a more snug fit

I can't contain poop in a bikini twist either. A tip for the newspaper fold: When you bring the wings up around your baby's waist, pull the wings up tight against the baby's thighs too (not just around). Then snappi. This should help hold poops in better
