Cloth Nappy Tree Forum

hi - charlie has a (nearly) 15" waist and (nearly) 12" rise. I want to order some custom pockets from Upsy Daisy, but the measurements are totally different to charlie. Does she have a big tum or small rise? Im confused as to what to order......

hmmm I have just measured my lo and having the same thoughts...

he has a waist of nearly 20" (I know!) and a rise of 15" which doesn't match any of the nappies I would just like to add that my lo is only 12 weeks old! I have chacked and rechecked the tape measure believe me, are they more low rise so I shouldn't be measuring as high as his fitteds come?

I am really wanting to try some of there nappeco while there is a reduction

anyone?

wow he's a big boy! well ve just been advised to measure at belly button level by ladies on here......

are you measuring rise over or under a nappy? I've always measured over...

Confusing isn't it

Rise is almost always measured over the nappy... (always as far as I know but I'm sure there's exceptions)
Don't forget by the time you've added bulk to a nappy (i.e. inserts to a pocket etc) you need more fabric to go around them if that makes sense?

Try measuring his rise without a nappy and then measuring one of his nappies (stretched) and then measuring over said nappy... See what the difference is...

aaaaaah yeah good idea. didnt even think about the bulk of inserts.....
