It looks puffier
Cotton fiber is hollow, so it holds more air than the plastic fibers in most diapers. That's why it looks and feels puffier right out of the pack.

Change Diapers® are a little different than what you're used to. That's what a 100% cotton diaper feels like, luxurious.
First, three things
you may notice
Cotton fiber is hollow, so it holds more air than the plastic fibers in most diapers. That's why it looks and feels puffier right out of the pack.
The waist is cut higher than a traditional diaper. We designed it that way for better overnight coverage.
The tab itself is a separate biodegradable material, so it doesn't stretch the way the panel around it does. All the give comes from the back cotton panel.
With both hands, pull the front and back panels up until the diaper sits secure, with no bulk at the bottom. For performance, it'll sit a little higher on the torso than a traditional diaper. Check the sides: the waistband should sit above the belly button, not resting on the hips.
Why it's higher: built for overnight coverage. Not a fit mistake.
Place one hand behind your baby and gently stretch the back panel before you bring the sides forward. The stretch comes from the back, not the tabs, it's biodegradable and wont stretch like non-biodegradable tabs.
Grip the cotton side panel, the part the biodegradable tab is attached to, and wrap it around the hip until the tab lands on the front landing zone. The side panel does the stretching.
Remeber: Don't pull the tab on its own, it's biodegradable.It doesn't stretch. Pulling on it alone won't get you a snug fit, and can tug it loose. Grip the cotton, not the tab.
Press the tab flat with a light pinch between your thumb and forefinger, top to bottom. No bubbles, no gaps, no wrinkles. A flat tab won't catch on onesies, and it won't come loose overnight.
Pinch the good stuff.
Once it's on, run through this before you move on.
Cuffs are snug, not tightRun a finger around each leg cuff. It should sit close, without leaving red marks.
Waist sits above the belly buttonResting on the hips instead? Give it one more pull up. That extra height is built for overnight coverage.
Tab is flat, no lifted edgesIf a corner's lifting, unpinch and reset it. Don't just press harder on the same spot. A flat tab won't snag or come loose overnight.
