It's definetly a bit complicated but the best place to start is by measuring your waist and hip measurment! its best to do this with a cloth sewing measuring tape but if you dont have one you can cut a string to the length and measure it with a regular ruler! once you have the measurement youll be able to compare it with the sizing chart! this should be somewhere on the websites description, images, or on the bag different brands have different sizings! its important to check! you can be a medium in one brand but a large in another! some brands may fit different bodys better than others! the tapes should fall about a hands length apart across your tummy, if the legs dig in painfully the diaper is either too small or taped on too tight! they should be comfortable, not too tight but not too lose to fall down let the bottom two tapes be slightly loser, while the top two may angle down tighter for a better fit! fitting is up to preference and can take awhile to get the hang of, for your first try velcro tape diapers are more forgiving and will allow you to redo the tapes more than once without losing their stick like sticky tapes google can help! you can find images and video guide that will better show the best way to prepare, tape, and fit your diap some may find it easier to tape laying down or standing against a wall, and theres also the question of bottom or top tapes first are you between sizes or just a little unsure? this is where sample packs come in handy! many brands offer sample packs online including two to four diaps! these are super helpful if you dont know the right size or just want to try them out without comiting to a full pack! I would recomend checking out NorthshoreCares sample pack! you can get up to 6 different 2pc items for free! this lets you try out different styles of tape on or pullup diaps in different sizes! i'm not sure if they do this outside of the USA but its free besides paying the shipping fee (for me it around $9?) thats a steal for whats basically up to 12 free! ordering straight from a manufactuor will allways be cheaper than ordering from amazon, but amazon does provide the comfort of better shipping tracking so you know when theyll arive, or the option to pick it up at a store or locker location can't order online? local pharmacys stores or larger grocery store chains may stock medical tape on or pullup! these are often cheaper than cute printed ones but dont tend to hold up well and may be more scratchy, they can also be a good place to start if youre unsure if youll like them at all theres so many styles and places to try! cloth back vs plastic, tapes vs velcro vs pullup, two or four tapes, and even washable cloth options! in the long run its a personal decision you just have to try things until you find out what works for you!
