# 1:Fit insert into nappy pocket - Put insert into pocket at back. Check it lies flat within the pocket (for comfort and maximum absorbency)

An additional liner and/or insert can be placed on top of the inner nappy layer if needed (a liner can catch solids / and an extra insert can help absorb extra urine – this additional step is easier to do after step 2)

To avoid leaks the gusset should fit
