   I am in New Zealand, and there seems to be very little in the way of nappy wraps available. I have got used to using a really simple fleece wrap with velcro, but the leg gussets are made with a waterproof polyester that doesn't seem to stand up to the rigours of urine!

   So try to secure his nappy so it can't be loosened or removed. This may require using nappy pins to fasten terry nappies (rather than using a nappy wrap with Velcro closings), pinning the nappy to your toddler's vest with nappy pins, or using snug, pull-on plastic pants over the nappy (which might increase the risk of nappy rash, so make sure you change nappies frequently).
