Snappi Cloth Diaper Fasteners

Snappis

Just say NO to pins! We wouldn't have started cloth diapering if it hadn't been for the Snappi®. I think that is the case for many people. My best friend's dad, who watches her son alot, even carries one around in his pocket to show people how, "Amazing" Snappis are.

The Snappi® Diaper Fastener revolutionized cloth diapering! Over 40 million have sold worldwide. It is 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 grips on each end. These grips hook into the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting diaper with enough natural movement for the baby.

Snappi®s WORK BEST with cotton prefolds (Chinese or Indian), and other cloth diapers with a loose enough weave for the Snappi to hook into. They DO NOT work well with flannel or any other tightly woven diapers, even most hemp diapers.

Snappi Safety FeatureIMPORTANT TO NOTE:
1. ALWAYS use a cover when using a Snappi® fastener on your baby’s diaper.

2. Keep out of children’s reach when not in use!

3. Do not cut your Snappi®. This could create weak spots in your Snappi®.

4. Do not leave your Snappi® lying in the sun. It is not UV resistant and this can reduce the effectiveness.

5. The best way to clean to your Snappi® is to wash in warm soapy water. Do not launder them with diapers in the washer as this may weaken the grip attachment.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Snappi® fasteners need to be used correctly in order to work effectively.

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, pulls 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 (not by the rings) with the other hand and s-t-r-e-t-c-h a few times (10 or so). As you do this you should feel how the material 'softens' or gets more elastic. Follow this stretching procedure with each leg. The Snappi® is then ready to go!

2. Make sure that your Snappi® is ATTACHED SECURELY. It is important that the Snappi® 'leg' being attached be stretched across the diaper before hooking it into the diaper. So,

Hook Left,
Stretch ACROSS and Hook Right,
Stretch DOWN and Hook Center

By following these instructions, the Snappi® should be secure, the diaper will fit snugly and the baby should not be able to undo it. ALWAYS place a cover over the diaper and Snappi® fastener.

CAUTION: Any tear in the Snappi® can lead to separation of a piece, presenting a possible choking hazard. Do not cut your Snappi® as this could create weak spots in your Snappi®. Inspect your Snappi® before each use and discontinue use immediately if there is any sign of cracking, tearing, breakage or wear of the teeth or any other parts.

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. The composition is 100% polyurethane. It is made in South Africa.
