Snappi Cloth Nappy Fasteners - Toddler Size 5-Pack - Replace Nappy Pins - Use with Cloth Prefolds and Cloth Flats

Thicker than the Nappy Nippas I have purchased before - hopefully these will last a bit longer as all my original ones have snapped. Great for holding/fastening terry nappies.

Very nice,better that the old I used in my other baby,fast and easy,save my time!

Perfect - holds Terry square nappies perfectly. A bit longer than other ones I have bought previously - that’s quite helpful. Great quality.

These are great. They have a strong grip without going through the cloth and they stretch for easy use, yet hold thick and heavy prefolds extremely sturdily

Brilliant price for the amount in the set. Very quick delivery - thankfully as they were needed asap.

I accidentally purchased these without knowing they were for toddlers but they work just fine for my newborn too. Won’t need to buy a new size once he’s bigger

Ok

They made using cloth nappies so much easier. Really easy to use and so handy to have!

Summary: Save yourself some money and get the toddler size, not original size snappi for your newborn. Boingos are good for keeping up with growing baby sizes but they are not very stretchy and they are a bit dangerous as they come unclipped, which leaves sharp ends exposed and diapers hanging loosely. ........ Unless you have a premie, the toddler size will fit just fine for a newborn (my baby was 7lbs) and will last you longer than the original sized snappi. The original size was too tight for a prefold osocozy for my baby at around 2 months (12lbs) and left red marks from the diaper being too tight, but the 15-30 lb prefolds were too big for her and the snappi did not stretch far enough for the 15-30lb osocozy prefolds. At 3 months, the toddler sized snappi is reaching its maximum capacity as it is already starting to be a tight fit for the osocozy 7-15lb prefold. Whomever designed the snappis must have had babies with smaller waists. I wish snappis had longer elastics than even the toddler size (its not long enough for toddlers in my opinion). Boingo pro's and con's: The Boingo keeps up with expanding waist lines as the baby grows (can even be used on adult diapers too, I suppose), but they kept falling off when my baby kicked her legs too hard. Also, when I carried my baby, the Boingo rubbed between my baby's body and mine and unhooked from the diaper, even though I tightened the Boingo as much as I could (this has already happened so many times in two weeks, I can't even keep count). When the boingo lets go, it bites into soft skin, resulting in the boingo biting into my baby and her crying in pain while I carry her. Also, tightening the boingo is more time consuming than tightening a snappi since you have to go back and forth between the left side and right side to tighten progressively tigher each time because the Boingo is hard to stretch. The snappi has openings where I can stick in a finger to stretch the snappi easily to tighten the fit of the prefold, but the boingo has a cute but useless little star resulting in making the boingo difficult to grip without poking myself (I've poked myself with the boingo many times trying to stretch it to get a tighter fit in the diaper). In addition, the boingo has two pieces required to fasten a diaper, a left one and a right one (while the snappi has one due to entire ensemble bring connected) which is one more item i have to keep track of (or which i frequently lose and have to spend time searching for, while hoping baby doesn't pee/poo while I'm looking). This is even harder while changing diapers in the dark while the baby sleeps Two hands vs one hand: I can remove and change my baby's diaper with one arm holding the baby and the other hand holding the snappi. This is super helpful if you are doing elimination communication. For the boingo, i have to put the baby down as fastening the boingo requires two hands. I can unfasten with one arm holding the baby but its much more difficult to do with boingo. I cannot reassemble a diaper with the boingo while holding the baby. While the toddler sized snappi is the clear winner between the original sized snappi, toddler sized snappo and boingo war, this only applies from age 0 to 4 months. Afterwards, boingo might be the only fastener to fit and I'll have to return to using the boingo, as inconvenient as it is. .... For bigger babies, I eventually ended up using diaper covers and used the osocozy as diaper liners. This was due to 2 factors 1) difficulties in using boingo while snappi became too small and left red marks on baby from being too tight 2) ocosozy cloth diapers without covers became soaked through to the other size with pee as the volume of pee increased as baby grew older. We needed a cover to keep the pee contained

These fasteners are quick to put in place and allow some flexing during movement.

Didn’t work on prefolds for toddlers

I started cloth diapering when my son was 15 months old. GMD prefolds and a snappi is all I have ever used and the snappi makes it SO easy. I have a very active little boy and I cannot imagine trying to use a safety pin. I never tried the size one snappis but I would say the toddler size is definitely necessary for us to stretch all the way across his waist to pin in place. They hold well...I've never had an issue with one coming loose. They also stretch more the more you use them and stretch them out. You can see in the picture the white one has been used a lot and is stretched while the orange one is never used. A five pack is more than enough and the price is reasonable for how long they last.

Terrible quality, no elasticity at all. Overpriced
