No, there is only one correct way.
The cotton pad should be close to the body, and the waterproof layer should be away from the body to trap the liquid and prevent it from spilling. If it is worn the wrong way around, the cotton pad cannot absorb the liquid as it is blocked off by the waterproof layer.

This will cater for the washing and drying time of the products and will last you for at least one year. If this is your first order, start with a minimum of three products. You will further need to order two waterproofs if you order up to three nappies and a maximum of three waterproofs if you order more than three nappies
