The Snappi® Diaper Fastener revolutionized cloth diapering! Over 50 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 terry cloth diapers, cotton prefolds, 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.


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 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 'softens' or gets more elastic. Follow this stretching procedure with each leg. 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. So,

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

In other words, the Snappi fastener should go from a "T" shape to a "Y" shape.

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.

When the Snappi fastener is not in use, fold the thin strip at the end of each leg to the back of the Snappi, and slip over the teeth of the white grip. This acts as a barrier and prevents the sharp teeth from being exposed.



WARNING:
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 use your Snappi® for longer than 6 months.
4. Do not leave your Snappi® lying in the sun as it is not UV resistant and can reduce the effectiveness of the Snappi®.

CARE: Clean your Snappi® in hot soapy water. Do not launder them with diapers in the washer as this may weaken the grip attachment.

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.

Snappi's are available in nine colors: White, Yellow, Mint, Pink, Pastel Blue, Lilac, Dark Blue, Red and Purple.

Made in South Africa.

Gotta say... whoever invented the Snappi was a genius! It's so much easier to use than pins (what I dreaded most when deciding to cloth diaper). These work great at holding the diaper in place, and in several years of diapering (now on my 3rd kid) I've never had one break.
