This is a tucked bikini twist on a 20 lb baby in regular PFs.
The trick to a good bikini twist is keeping the twist high up; it makes for a better poo pocket in the rear, so blowouts aren't as likely.

Lift baby's bottom and slide the PF underneath. Start with your PF completely spread open. I always check the dipe before changing it; This is how to change it if it isn't SUPER messy.

Twist the front of the PF 180 degrees about 1/3 of the way back from the front of the diaper. Then fold a little of the extra width in on the front sides. Keeping the inside fairly flat like this instead of twisted into round, ropey layers like the outside helps to prevent pinching.

Unfasten the wet dipe and slide it off (if changing a boy, use it as a shield). Wipe baby's pelvis, bottom, hips, and legs as needed. Then pull the PF up through the baby's legs so that it's snug. If you have a boy, you may need to tuck him in; if he's aiming to one side and you don't have a snug fit, it may leak.

Fold under the excess length of the PF.

Pull the back corners around the baby's hips and hold. Hook the Snappi into the far corner, stretch it across the dipe and hold in the center while you hook it into the other corner and center of the dipe. I try to get a good hook PAST the twist, so the twist stays high.

Make sure the back corners of the PF are fastened over the SIDES of the front so that the front corners of the dipe don't slide out from underneath (and the Snappi itself isn't resting against your baby's skin). Tighten up and refasten as needed.

The PF will be a little long along the back and sides of your baby's thighs.

Tuck in the dipe around the legs, rolling the edge under once or twice (this helps to contain messes and ensure that the cover will fit over the dipe without edges poking out).
I also tuck a tiny fold under along the back of the PF.

All done! Just put on your cover (if any).
