[Original 5-pack] Snappi Cloth Diaper Fasteners - Replaces Diaper Pins - Use with Cloth Prefolds and Cloth Flats

These Snappi diaper fasteners work wonderfully to secure cloth diapers quickly and easily. As recommended by another reviewer, I use them in conjunction with prefold diapers (OsoCozy) and Thirsties diaper covers. This is my first time going all the way with cloth diapers-- I used gDiapers with a flushable insert for my first child, but I like this MUCH better. There are fewer incidents (blowouts, leaks, etc.), for one thing, and I'm not as stingy with changes (the only cost is laundry). I one pack of Snappi diaper fasteners (6 to a pack, I believe), 6 of the Thirsties diaper covers (first size works great with room to grow for my ten-pounder), and 24 prefolds (small size), and that's all been quite sufficient for newborn use. I use a newspaper fold, as demonstrated in the YouTube video "How to fold a prefold cloth diaper." Cloth diapering was a bit intimidating for me, and I used disposable diapers for a few days until my baby was done passing meconium (I heard it's hard to clean out), but I will not be going back to disposable!A note about the Snappi fasteners: They work quickly and easily. They have a very secure hold on prefold diapers, but WATCH OUT, because they will bite you! There is a rubber band designed for pulling them to the securing point; use it!!! On my first day of using these, I made the mistake of just pulling the toothy head with my fingers. I was bitten, and it drew blood. I'm just glad I was the one who was hurt instead of my newborn.

While my daughter in love was pregnant with my twin grandsons, I passed the time by sewing 65 handmade pocket style cloth diapers. I bought snaps to put on them, as I made them to be a one-size diaper. But, after putting several snaps on, I realized that I could not possibly add all the snaps needed for that many diapers and then all the snaps needed for the one-size covers, as well. So, I looked around for a better option than the old large diaper (safety) pins that I used for my kids, and found these.I was really skeptical about how they would work, but they have worked out great. They are easy to use, you don't have to worry about poking yourself or the babies, and they keep the diapers on just as snugly. They haven't seemed to lose their elasticity, with all the diaper changes that are need for those two-if one isn't needing a change, the other is. All of my babies' loved ones love these and some of the other moms and dads have ordered them for their little ones, also. I highly recommend these in place of the old style stick pins anyday!!

Stretch well and hold up with heavy use. Had to wait for baby to be a couple months old to use since they are slightly long

Easy to use and clean. Will last a long time.

The media could not be loaded. As you can see from the picture they do stain this was within minutes of a breast milk poop and washed with soap and water. They have good grip and stay in place well. I have used them on prefolds and flats I do have to be careful on the flour sack towel flats as they can go all the way through but they have not left a mark. They have also come unsnapped from the flour sack towels a few times but I think it was operator error.

So Easy To Use. Snappi Is Quick, Easy and Holds The Diaper Securely Next To Baby"s Skin.

These are so much easier and safer to use to hold cloth diapers shut han the traditional pin! They have never come off, never broken, and hold everything firmly. Highly suggest!

The concept of these is great. And the blue one works fantastic, sadly the other colors are not as sturdy as the blue one is. They dont stay put as much, and stretch way more, but not in the best way. They are still better than pins and I will probably purchase more in the future, maybe other colors work better than this color lot.
