@@ -607,33 +607,33 @@ Each checkbox and radio is wrapped in a `<label>` for three reasons:
 - It provides a helpful and semantic wrapper to help us replace the default `<input>`s.
 - It triggers the state of the `<input>` automatically, meaning no JavaScript is required.
 
-We hide the default `<input>` with `opacity` and use the `.c-indicator` to build a new custom form control. We can't build a custom one from just the `<input>` because CSS's `content` doesn't work on that element.
+We hide the default `<input>` with `opacity` and use the `.custom-control-indicator` to build a new custom form indicator in its place. Unfortunately we can't build a custom one from just the `<input>` because CSS's `content` doesn't work on that element.
 
-With the sibling selector (`~`), we use the `:checked` state to trigger a makeshift checked state on the custom control.
+We use the sibling selector (`~`) for all our `<input>` states—like `:checked`—to properly style our custom form indicator. When combined with the `.custom-control-description` class, we can also style the text for each item based on the `<input>`'s state.
 
 In the checked states, we use **base64 embedded SVG icons** from [Open Iconic](https://useiconic.com/open). This provides us the best control for styling and positioning across browsers and devices.
 
 #### Checkboxes
 
 {% example html %}
-<label class="c-input c-checkbox">
-  <input type="checkbox">

 </label>

 Custom checkboxes can also utilize the `:indeterminate` pseudo class when manually set via JavaScript (there is no available HTML attribute for specifying it).
 
 <div class="bd-example bd-example-indeterminate">
