Welcome to our video tutorial on how to put on a Lighthouse Kids Company cloth diaper. Whether you are brand new to cloth diapering or you simply want the best possible fit, this video will walk you through everything you need to know to confidently put on a cloth diaper every single time. Parents often have questions about rise settings, waist placement, snapping patterns, leg elastics, and absorbency choices, so this video breaks it all down in a fast, clear, approachable way.
If you have ever struggled with leaks, red marks, wing droop, tight legs, or diapers that seem too big or too small, this guide is for you. By the end of this video, you will know exactly how to put on a cloth diaper, how to adjust the snaps correctly, and how to achieve that perfect LKC fit that keeps your baby comfortable and dry.
Lighthouse Kids Company diapers are designed with simplicity in mind. Whether you are using our All-In-One (AIO), All-In-Two (AI2) Switch Cover, or Pocket Diaper, the fitting techniques remain consistent and user-friendly. Our recycled TPU outer shell, AWJ (Athletic Wicking Jersey) stay-dry interior, and eco-friendly bamboo inserts work together to create an efficient, breathable, and easy-to-use diapering system.
What You Will Learn in This Video
✔ How to adjust the rise snaps
Rise snaps control the height of the diaper and help it fit babies from 6 lbs to 32+ lbs (Signature) or 15 lbs to 55+ lbs (Supreme). You will learn exactly when to size up, how to prevent dipping in the front, and how to ensure the insert sits smoothly inside.
✔ How to check for a proper leg seal
A perfect seal around the thighs prevents leaks. You will learn how to perform the “leg check,” how to avoid gaps, and how to tuck elastics gently into the underwear line.
✔ How to place inserts for maximum absorbency
Whether using the AIO tongue insert, AI2 snap-in insert, or additional boosters, you will learn how to layer absorbency without adding unnecessary bulk.

Step-By-Step Fit Breakdown (Video Summary)
1. Place the diaper under your baby
Slide the diaper under the lower back, making sure the back elastic rests at the natural waistline.
2. Pull the diaper up between the legs
Smooth the insert inside so there are no folds or bunching.
3. Adjust the rise
Snap the rise setting to match your baby's size.
☀︎ Small rise: newborn to 12–15 lbs
☀︎ Mid rise: 15–22 lbs
☀︎ Full rise: 22 lbs and up
4. Secure the waist snaps
Start at the top snaps, then secure the hip snaps. The wings should lie flat without curling or drooping.
5. Check the leg elastics
Run a finger under the elastic. It should be snug, not tight, and sit in the underwear line.
6. Double-check the fit
If you see gaps or feel tightness, adjust one snap tighter or looser.
Troubleshooting Guide
1. Experiencing leaks?
Try:
☀︎ Increasing absorbency
☀︎ Tightening the legs one snap
☀︎ Ensuring the rise is not too low
2. Getting red marks?
☀︎ Red is normal, deep grooves are not. Loosen the waist or rise slightly.
3. Bulkiness in the front?
☀︎ Move to the next rise setting.
4. Insert shifting or bunching?
☀︎ Make sure the insert is smoothed into the pocket or snap-in area.
5. Wing droop?
☀︎ Use the hip snap to keep wings secure.
