DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. STRETCH the Snappi fastener before its first use. The stretching triggers the 'memory' of the snappi to return to its original size, and in doing, will pull the diaper together in the middle to allow for a snug fit. This is essential for the Snappi to work properly. This can be done by holding the snappi in the center with one hand, and close to the end of the leg with the other hand. Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h a few times (10 or so). As you do this you should feel how the material 'softens' or gets more elastic. Follow this stretching procedure with each leg. The Snappi is now ready to go!
2. Make sure that the Snappi is ATTACHED SECURELY. It is important that the Snappi 'let' being attached be stretched across the diaper before hooking it into the diaper. When attaching the Snappi, hold onto the solid part of the tap. Do not pull on the loops. So,
Hook Left,
Stretch ACROSS and Hook Right,
Stretch DOWN and Hook Center
The Snappi Fastener should go from a 'T' shape to a 'Y' shape.
NOTE: This product is designed to be operated by persons OVER the age of 12.
