Can I ask a stupid question about Nappi Nippas please?

You know how you're meant to fasten them left, right and then below?

Does it matter if you do it right, left and then below? I'm left handed and find myself automatically fastening the right first.

It's taking me a bit of time to get the knack of it and I was wondering if it was because I wasn't using them properly?

Actually I have found that quite a lot of nappies fasten in a right handed way if they have aplix or poppers. PITA while I'm getting used to them!

I can't think of any reason why you can't do it the way that is most comfortable for you.
I think you are told L, R, below only because most people are r handed and do it that way, not because it isn't right the other way.

I'm left handed, and never actually read the instructions and fasten them right left and under....the nappy has yet to fall off.....

I'm so stoopid... I've just realised that I'm probably putting the nappies without aplix on with the flaps the opposite way round to right handed people anyway, so it would make sense to fasten the nippa that way too.

I obviously just need to practice more. Thanks anyway!

Hmmm not a stupid question, I too have never read the intructions despite selling them and using them on two LOs! I don't think it makes any difference, I am right handed but put them onright to left and the nappies never seem to fall off!

no - two sides and then bottom one - wouldn't matter which side first.
