    Thought this up yesterday.

    The only thing flipped more often is USB-A.

      This has always baffled me too.

        Thanks, I was wondering why the side mattered for and why, at 3 AM, you need to swap a napkin.

          I forget what brand it was, but one of those fancy bamboo ones I think? The diapers are just white. The only way to tell front and back is by the tabs. I had a free sample. Did not purchase more.

            I literally have to go by feel (and smell, we ain't risking a pitch black poop change). None the less, weird they haven't bothered making contrasting sides.

            Some Japanese diapers we had at least had consistently different characters front vs back but in low light that's still iffy.

              Contrasting color means they need to cut an extra piece of fabric and put another line of stitching.

                There’s like a piece of tape on the back for wrapping it up, just feel for that

                  My son’s diapers have a bright yellow tab on the back to tape it closed. I can feel which side is which.

                  I still screw it up sometimes.

                    add to that: with just contrasting colours, people would forever be confused about which colour represents the front and which the back.

                    such a design would just present the same problem again at twice the cost.

                      Yellow - front
                      Greenish brown - back

                        Some tips :

                        Use phone flashlight to create light that isn't in the baby's face
                        Have a step by step prep plan you usually follow when you change the baby, including setting out cotton , water, the next nappy etc.
                        Open up the nappy before you begin changing , take this time to orient it
                        If you're going to change a poopy baby, consider if the water usually drips out everywhere and undress the baby to avoid this (may be difficult during winter)
                        If not, expose the least amount of baby
                        Wipe down changing surfaces after changing poopy baby.

                        If you're still changing meconium, best of luck, that's the worst kind

                          We had a small somewhat-dim lamp that we placed round the baby’s feet: exactly where needed to see and the baby’s face stayed in the dark

                            Good thinking. That sounds like the perfect setup.
