Tips to Make Using Kissavus Cloth Diapers Easier

by Duncan Gelby
Kissaluvs are a great brand of cloth diapers. There are however, many questions that new users have about certain aspects of using them. Here are some of clever tips to make using these great cloth diapers easier.

Contour Diaper Tricks

If you have a baby who is thin or on the low end of the weight range there are a few things you can do to make the diaper fit better.

- Try folding down the front of the diaper and tucking it under the doubler.
- If the wings overlap, use just one pin to secure it. This will give you a tighter fit.
- To avoid sagging, pin the diaper lower. This will tighten the fit around the legs.
- Pull the diaper as snug as possible when you pin it. After you take your fingers out it will be just right.

Here are some other uses for contour diapers:

- Use them as extra protection at night inside a fitted diaper. You could even put it around the outside of the fitted diaper between the cover and the diaper to prevent leaks.

- They make great stuffers for pocket diapers.

- You can even use it as a pad for the heavier flow after giving birth.

Fitted Diaper Tricks

There are lots of great ways to make your fitted Kissaluvs work better. Here are some ideas.

- To pack them for travel, roll them up, front to back, and snap them into a ball using the overlap snap. This works great for keeping the mess inside the diaper until you get home.

- If you have a baby with thin legs or you are using a larger diaper with a smaller cover, getting it to fit just right can be hard. Try tucking the leg ruffle under into the diaper. This keep leaks contained and uses up the extra room.

There are several ways to get a better fit for a thinner baby or those in the lower end of the size range.

- Get a tighter fit using the overlap snaps. Snap the side with three snaps first and then snap the other side over top of it.

- Snap it as tight as you can. You will have your finger in it to snap it, but when you take your finger out, it will be perfect.

- Don't snap the wing snaps in order. Snap the wing snaps over the front snaps.

- After you snap the baby into the diaper, pull the part of the diaper that is at the baby's hips up higher. The elastic and the snapped wings will help to keep the diaper up and you will get rid of any sagging.

Kissaluvs has a great guarantee program. Defective products will be repaired or replaced within 30 days of purchase. This does not include items that are misused or from the Outlet Store. There is a Lifetime Snap Guarantee. This means that in the useful life of a Kissaluvs diaper, the company will replace or repair any snap that breaks or is damaged. If they cannot reliably repair the snap, they will replace the item. You do not need the receipt, nor do you need to be the original owner. As long as the tag is attached to verify that it is indeed an original, you can send it in to be repaired. The definition of 'usable life' is completely up to them, since cloth diapers do eventually wear out. That is my kind of guarantee!
