Some diapers, when properly fit, can leave marks but others might not. I think it depends on what diaper you are using, your baby's shape and gender (roly poly or long and lean, girl vs boy because it changes where you need the absorbency the most), and how they pee (slow, fast, small but frequent, less often but a lot, etc). I haven't used the BG Freetime but I have plenty of BG 4.0s. My son typically doesn't get any real marks around his thighs but occasionally he does around his waist. If you aren't getting leaks, I wouldn't mess with it. If you are getting leaks and it isn't due to a repelling issue, then you may need to consider changing the fit of the diaper. My son's will gap a little sometimes around the leg in his BG 4.0s when in a sit but typically this isn't an issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291604 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 07:54:42 +0000 Mrsbells 291604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Thanks thats the same thing I have been doing. They never leak but can seem loose only when she gets in certain positions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291597 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 07:47:35 +0000 heffalump 291597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If ours leave a mark, then we loosen them up. They seem loose on top, but they never leak. Hope that helps a little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291595 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 07:45:10 +0000 Mrsbells 291595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah its hard to tell if I am doing it right or not. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291174 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:15:28 +0000 autumnlove 291174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, LO has huge thighs and I worry that I snap her diapers too tight. Right now there are 3 rows that aren't used when I fasten them...maybe I should make it 4? I worry about blowouts if I put them on too loose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291168 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:50:50 +0000 Mrsbells 291168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see.. so should i be making it tight enough to leave a mark? Is it a bad things if the fit around her thighs is loose? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tight-are-you-cloth-diapers#post-291148 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:30:45 +0000 pelikila 291148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some marks are okay.

At first I was using them on the smallest height setting but the I started seeing impression lines on LO's thighs so used the next snap, and they seem fine on her from some angles but then from other angles it seems as though the diaper is gaping open round her thigh, although it never leaks. Could be this why she gets occassional bumps on her butt? </p>
