I usually use an angel fold. It is open at the back, and folded in at the front. ^^This is an angel fold. I find it's easy and effective (holds in runny poo pretty well).
Line the diaper even with the belly button or a little below. If your child has a shorter rise, or is smaller in general, you can fold the back (open) end down a little. I put the washcloth to cover baby bits, obviously you wouldn't do that.
Bring the front (closed) end up. The sides should meet the front. If you have a larger child, and it doesn't meet, you can fan out the front so they touch.
The snappi has teeth at all three ends. I touch the teeth to the diaper on one end, then pull it tight to the other side. I usually then have to re-adjust.
Pull the middle section down. That will tighten the sides up, and help keep the diaper from drooping.
This is to show you how the teeth pull the fabric just a little.
Then, put on your cover. I run my finger all the way around the cover, to be sure that the gussets have been out and the PF is tucked all the way in. Otherwise it will leak.
