Cravethesecurefeeling Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Proper order to use the tabs on Abena X-plus? Which order are you suppose to tape the tapes to the diaper in? 1. The top two first, then the bottom two? 2. The bottom two, then the top two? 3. Both tabs on side first, then the other? My diaper was on tight but it didn't look quite straight. Should the top or bottom ones be tighter than the others? Any tips for a diaper rookie? Link to comment
drynot Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I always start from the bottom up. Bottom two first and then the top two in order to get the fit properly. However everyone is different so YMMV... Link to comment
Loveable_guy Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Deffently the bottom two first. Otherwise you may get a sloppy fit. Just be sure to line up the back and front. That is so they come together evenly. Link to comment
Bonsai Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 First bottom two, then, of upper ones, choose to start the side where the bottom one came shorter. The important is that at the end the two top ones are as much as possible at the same distance from center. It is also recommended to tape the bottom ones looking slightly upward or horizontal (important to close gaps around leg gathers) and the upper ones pointing slightly downwards (important to guarantee a good waist fit).

LILJIM Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 To each their own. But I do the bottom 1st then the top. Try it different ways RIGHT equals what works for you. Link to comment
DiaperKyle Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I get the best fit if I put them on standing, top tapes first. Link to comment
Missy Q Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I've never worn the diapers listed, but my routine for putting on the tapes is to put them on as snuggly as possible while standing, and then undue them one-by-one and then hot-glue them down after pulling them a bit tighter. This totally removes any risk of tapes coming undone and I like the feeling of being stuck in my diaper. Link to comment
adhb Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I do it standing up, top tapes first. Link to comment
froggy Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I do the bottom first, even if i am in pin on cloth with 4 pins. Doing the bottom first gives a better fit that resists sagging, at least on me. wribbit Link to comment
aldl4811 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I would suggest that you do the bottom two and one of the top tapes first while lying down. Then, you should try standing up to finish the fourth tape... this will make sure that you get an extremely snug fit. Although, the better you get, the more likely it will be that you get a snug fit everytime while lying down. Link to comment
