Cloth Diaper 101
a comprehensive resource
about cloth diapers!
Product Description

Snappi® is an inventive solution to the simple problems of diapering. This unique product was invented by a father who experienced frustration changing his own child's diapers. The first Snappi® was introduced to the South African market in 1987 at a trade fair where 4000 units were sold within days.

The Snappi® Diaper Fastener has revolutionized cloth diapering! This PINLESS diaper fastener offers a practical and reliable way to fasten a cloth diaper and has become one of the most important cloth diapering accessories in the world. Over 60 million have sold worldwide.

An EASY to use fastener that offers a PRACTICAL and RELIABLE way to fasten a cloth diaper, replacing the diaper pin. It comes in a variety of colors and is made from a stretchable non-toxic material, which is T-shaped with 'teeth' on each end. These 'teeth' hook into the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting diaper with enough natural movement for the baby.

The Snappi® fastener is manufactured from FDA approved raw materials, a polyester based polyurethane which is degradable on aging through hydrolysis and/or microbiological attack. It contains NO latex or any other adulterant, dilutent or modifying polymers. Snappis are made from 100% polyurethane.

Snappis have become the cloth diapering necessity that "pulls it all together"!

Features:
  • It is an easy way to care for your baby.
  • It is made from non-toxic material.
  • The Snappi stays in place to ensure a comfortable fitting diaper.
  • The Snappi is safe, economical and affordable.
  • It is easy-to-care-for and can be sterilized in hot water.
  • It is durable and can last as long as six months.
  • The grips are designed and manufactured to ensure a better fitting diaper.
  • Snappis are available in a wide range of attractive colors.
  • Snappi has been clinically tested in various hospitals and clinics around the globe and passed all the tests with flying colors.
Directions for Use:
  1. STRETCH the Snappi® fastener before its first use. The stretching triggers the 'memory' of the Snappi® to return to its original size, and in so doing, will pull the diaper together to the middle to allow for a snug fit. This is essential for the Snappi® to work properly. This can be done by holding the Snappi® in the center with one hand, and close to the end of the leg with the other hand. Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h a few times (10 or so). As you do this you should feel how the material gains elasticity. Follow this stretching procedure with all three legs. The Snappi® is now ready to go!
  2. Make sure that the Snappi® is ATTACHED SECURELY. It is important that the Snappi® 'leg' being attached be stretched across the diaper before hooking it into the diaper. When attaching the Snappi®, hold onto the solid part of the tab. DO NOT pull on the loops. Then,
    Hook Left,
    Stretch ACROSS and Hook Right,
    Stretch DOWN and Hook Center
    Now your Snappi® fastener has gone from a ‘T’ shape to a ‘Y’ shape.
  3. Always use a diaper cover over the diaper and Snappi®

Made in South Africa.

What a great tool! This makes using my prefolds so much easier! My parents wish they had these when they were using cloth diapers lol ;)

There is not size option when ordering this product, and the one I recieved said size 1 on the package. They also make a 'toddler' size, so if that's what your in the market for this is the wrong size. This size didn't work with our 16 month old 23 lb'er. The product itself works great.

Am I doing this wrong??? I bought a snappi (regular size, package said SMALL) and my son is 18 lbs. The snappi barely pulls everything together? I think I must be doing something wrong. It shouldn't be too small!

I gave up on cloth then bought a snappi to see what all the fuss was about, and i love it! I use a toddler snappi on my 22lb boy and it works well though i think it would be too small for an actual toddler. Also i wish cotton babies had toddlers in colors other than white but at least it goes with everything! Anyone who uses prefolds definately needs to pay the money and get theirself a snappi!

I use these with my flats. They are one of the best cloth diapering inventions ever! I've never used a safety pin before...and I'm glad I never have to! These are super easy to use and super easy to clean. It seems kind of pricey to pay almost $4.00 for a little piece of plastic, but honestly if it cost more, I would still buy it. That's how awesome it is.

Love these! I bought one to use with Econobum covers and Indian prefolds, and I am so happy with them! I would be cloth diapering even if I only had pins, but these make it so much easier to get a good fit with prefolds. I just ordered another one in a different color to use just in case my first one got lost or damaged (and also to color coordinate with the covers :-) ).

Where were Snappi fasteners 10 years ago when I had my firstborn? I love these things! I think pins look cuter, but with having arthritis in my right hand, these are a life saver! They make diaper changes a breeze for those using contours and prefolds. You just hook them on and go. I like to let my baby go without a cover when we are at home, and these are perfect for that. They are definitely worth the price!

I definitely reccomend these over diaper pins. I am a new mom and neither my husband or I could make cloth diapering work with pins. I was ready to give up on it entirely until I found these. They are so easy to use and I don't have to worry about poking my baby or myself. A must have for cloth diapering.

I am totally new to cloth diapering and thought the Snappi would make it easier to cloth diaper instead of pins. However, I couldn't find where a size is specified to determine when you need to buy the "toddler" size. My son is 18 months and I ordered the regular Snappi. My mistake. They are obviously too small. They need to specify a weight chart so parents new to cloth diapering (with a baby that isn't a newborn!) know when to order toddler size.

Well, this item is just totally and completely the BEST! I had diaper pins all ready for when my son was born but a friend showed me these and...well...the pins were only used 2x. Simply a must have especially with a wiggle worm like my boy.

Love these! When I was pregnant, I swore up and down that I'd use the fun & "easy" pockets and AIO's... Now that he's 8 months old, we've been through every type known to man. I enjoy trying new dipes, but I LOVE the smell of clean prefolds and I get the best fit with a Snappi! I'm willing to try pins, but the Snappi is safer for a squirmy baby, in my opinion, and husband-friendly too!

I LOVE snappis. We're a mostly prefolding family and I did not have snappis for my first and always had newborn blowout issues & dirty covers (using PF as a lay-in). With baby #2, we've been snappi-ing 100% and it makes a world of difference! Rarely a leak. Sadly - the toddler size I got for my big girl just broke! I don't know if that is a common problem, but the lower prong's rubbery ring just ripped open.

I think they are great. they definitely work on newborns. And while it does look like it "tears" the cloth diaper once washed and dried they fibers are all back in place. It only looks like it tears if you have it too tight by the way. When used under a wrap you do not need to make it so tight. Use it to keep the diaper in place the wrap keeps the diaper on baby. Works wonderfully, where were these the last time I cloth diapered?
