What are "Fixing Pants"? and compression.

Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:04 pm

Wondering what Fixing Pants are. I think I've seen them referenced here as a compression pant for cloth. Also wondering if/what diaper compression plays a role in for cloth. Looking for insight, and possibly product suggestions on that.

They're for holding large shaped pads to the body. I guess you could use them for compression of a diaper but it's not what they're designed for.

Ok. Well, I've tried some cloth options recently and was wondering if compression was a thing in the cloth world as it is in the disposable. Obviously not tight enough to squeeze it like a sponge but to hold it close enough to yourself as might be desirable for a disposable.

This is probably a silly question. Maybe pinning better or adding more inserts would alleviate any gaps between me and the cloth.

You might experiment with a four-pin setup. You may have to try it several times to get a proper fit, but it may suit your needs. Good luck.

Thanks Patrick! Hope your doing well, sir.

I actually also ordered some snappi clips also based off one of your posts I read, because I liked the idea of stretchiness, and they looked super easy to use. Great design innovation. So, I've got some stuff to try. Best part about all of this is even with all of my foibles, I am still on a leak free streak.
