I thought the same when I saw mine - I think it would have to be

pins.

Don't have a baby to try it out on yet though! Might have to borrow

the divine (4 months) next week when he comes round

with his mummy - I'd do anything to convert her to cloth, she is so

anti-green/enviromental stuff that it would be a real victory ;0)

The imse is not designed to be fixed together, it was designed to be used with

the bumpy wrap which will hold it in place.

Personally I get fed up with the flaps and tuck them in and then use it as kind

of a prefold!

But I would have thought if you did want to fix it in place pins would be better

than a nappy nippa.

I just fold them over and fit a tight wrap. (SO has done them up with

gaffer on occasion

Mine will nippa though.
