Large N Pants are a pull up, side snapping modern cloth nappy/diaper for older toddlers and preschoolers.
Designed with the body shape of an older child in mind, they have a much higher rise than the OSFM N Pants that are designed for younger toddlers and babies.
It can be used at night for independent toddlers who no longer need a dedicated night nappy, or for larger children still requiring a day nappy.
There are options for a front or back sham pocket opening, either stretch wings using a lycra based fabric or an entirely waterproof outer with a little less stretch.
Sizing - approximately fits from 15 - 28kg (33 - 62lb).
If your child is a chunky build, they may fit from around 12kg, and likewise if your child is a slim build you may find these will fit beyond 28kgs.
The sizing is adjustable through the snaps on the front of the nappy, the ‘rise snaps’, plus waist adjutment through the wing saps.
You have the option of having 2 or 3 columns of rise snaps depending on your preference. If your child is only going to be using this nappy with night weight inserts, you can opt to leave off the rise snaps entirely.
The whole nappy can be made with just a sewing machine. An overlocker is advisable for making the inserts, but a sewing machine can be substituted. You will also require a snap press or pliers and snaps.
