How Do You Keep Mama Cloth in Place?

I have a Fuzzibunz pantiliner I bought to try out but it spins around my panties and ends up backwards (snap up, liner down). I could only come up with two solutions, but neither seems plausible. I'm not thrilled about using a safety pin near my ladybits and I'm not sewing Velcro into all my undies. Any ideas?

    The best solution I found is to snap the pad around my panties, and then wear a second pair of panties on top Embarrassed  It feels much more secure, and the pad doesn't slide around as much.  I have some of the FB and some fleecebacked pads, and find them all to slide around quite a bit.

    I have a few from FB that spin around as well. I hate those. It seems that they're really wide and does not snap tightly around panties. Maybe try a different brand that snaps tighter. I like PIMP for that reason. You can also consider adding an additional snap on each side of your mama cloth that would allow for a tighter fit around undies.

    I tried a few different brands...and definitely some stay in place better then others. PIMP are my go-to...and they provide an "extender" to widen the snap-around gap, if needed (I don't tend to need it...and things don't slide or bunch).

    Others end up unhooking, or sliding back in a bunch on me...making them worthless.

    Not always ideal but I'm so hot during AF anyways it doesn't seem to make a big difference.  I actually think its more of a security thing, I did it on my heavy days with disposables too.

    Thanks! I'll try PIMP. And with my heavy flow, I probably wouldn't notice a second pair of panties either. I already practically wear diapers those days!!

    Honestly, I kind of quit using mine and use my diva pretty much exclusively because of this. Mine just shifted forwards and back but it drove me batty. :-(

    Speaking of mama cloth fasteners, I need to sew some PP cloth for when this baby gets here (I got a pretty nasty "diaper" rash using disposable pads after I had DS), but I don't have a snap press.  Would velcro on the wings be good because it's more adjustable?  And should I look into a grippy fabric (I'm thinking like the bottom of footie pjs type stuff) for the bottom layer so it's not as slidey?
