Hotdog T-fold (t-fold variation)

The hotdog T-fold adds some leg-hole protection against blow-outs.



Start by folding one of the diapers into thirds, lengthwise. Fold the other diaper into sort of accordion fold, lengthwise. See the picture for what I'm talking about. I'm sure you can figure it out!



Then continue with the instructions for the T-fold!

T-fold

This is the fold I use most often. It requires 2 diapers. It is a very absorbent folding method and it really stays put under any cover.

In my experience, these diapers are just too thin to use with snappis. With less mobile babies, a simple half or thirds fold stays put pretty well with just the cover holding the diaper in place. But if your baby is crawling a lot or walking, you may like this fold a lot.

Please excuse the doll and oversized diaper. The cover in the picture is a bummis super whisper wrap size medium.

Fold the both diapers in thirds, lengthwise.


Place the diapers in a T-formation with a little cloth hanging over the top of the "T".



Fold the extra part of the "T" over the horizontal part.


Place your baby on the diaper and pull the vertical part of the "T" up. Uh, if you aren't aware already, your baby probably won't like it if you actually cover their face... That is a doll in the picture ;)



Bring the horizontal parts of the T around to baby's front.



Depending on the size of your baby, you may have a little extra cloth on the end of the horizontal part of the diaper that you can fold down to create some extra pee-padding.



Finally, fold the vertical part of the diaper down.




Finish by covering with a diaper cover. Here I am using a bummis super whisper wrap size medium.

half fold

Start by folding the diaper in half, lengthwise.



Next, fold the diaper in half again, widthwise.


Place the diaper on top of the cover. Simply fasten cover. Do not pin or snappi the diaper.


Make sure the diaper is tucked inside the elastic on the cover.
