A lot of people still think of pins and rubber pants upon hearing the word "cloth diaper." It is the pins that turn many people away from the thought of using cloth. After all, who wants to be stuck or risk sticking their little baby with a pin, right? I can certainly remember the days of trying to jam the pin through two layers of thick cloth while attempting to put a diaper on my squirming younger sister at the time (thank God my Mom usually changed her diapers so as to spare me the agonizing thought of drawing innocent blood). Gone are the days of pins! *loud cheers*
Diaper pins have since been replaced by an ingenious product affectionately called the "Snappi." The product's real title is the "Snappi Diaper Fastner" and was brought to the US and Canada in 2001 by the Snappi Baby company in Arizona. The concept is very simple: the Snappi is a "T" shaped piece of flexible non-toxic plastic that has a gripper (teeth) at each point of the "T" that allows it to hold onto the fabric of a cloth diaper without providing the possibility of puncturing anyone's skin. Fun colors, reusable, and safe!
Snappi's come in two sizes and are pretty easy to use:
Size 1 - Baby: $2.49 each Size 2 - Toddler: $3.49 each
I like these a lot better than pins. I thought the plastic would snap the first time I had to stretch it, but fear not, it stayed in one piece and managed to hold the diaper on my daughter, too. Want to try it out for yourself? The Snappi Baby company has generously donated a whole BUNCH of Snappis to me to bless my readers with! One winner will be chosen each day of July to receive 2 Snappi Diaper Fastners in the "baby" size. Want to win a set...or more? Visit their website's store locator and let me know where you can buy a Snappi at. Come back and tell me to gain your initial entry into this contest! You may come back every day and re-enter.

I love these! I only have one, and I live in fear of misplacing it. They are perfect. I've tried using a pin before, and it is really hard to get it thorough the fabric ,and I always feel like I'm going to spear my daughter. Snappi's are much much better!

ReplyDeleteSince there isn't a store near my house I would probably buy it online at www.thanksmama.com from a store that is based in MI.
ReplyDeleteI too only have 1 snappi and always worry about losing it, specially when my Dh does bedtime and can't remember where he put it!!

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, no need to enter me in the giveaway (Laina is potty trained - yay!), but I wanted to let you know that I posted your CD Extravaganza on my Facebook page and also emailed my mailing list about it :) I know it's going to be a huge success! --Jenna of Laina's Laundry
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of such a thing - I thought we would have to use pins when we have children. Of course, I haven't done any research yet, thanks for all you have done! I found that we have a diaper store in Irmo, about 1/2 hour from us, that sells snappis; the store is Dapper Diaper Store.

Boo - I was so excited to find a local CD store. So I guess I would buy mine online from www.momsmilkboutique.com b/c of their free shipping!

I am starting out cloth diapering with my second daughter - I just didn't realize the impact of all the chemicals with my first. I am trying to get enough together to cloth diaper full time - although at this point it is a stretch because my dh doesn't get paid over the summer. I can buy these at Jack's Magic Beanstalk in Levittown, PA. My email is knlrachel@Hotmail.com. Thanks so much! (My name is Rachel but I can't get the comment as to work for me.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't win on DS but I am trying here! With 2 in diapers and just leaving the prefold in place under a cover, I sure could use a Snappi or 2 :)

ReplyDeleteWe have a store in the Columbus, OH area called Sprout Soup that sells snappis. I cant justify using the gas to get there, and as a full-time student, wife, and mommy of 4 I can't afford the time, either!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to win a snappi. I only have one, and I'm scared to death of loosing it. I think the closest CD store to me is 4 hrs away!
ReplyDeleteI can get them at Sprouting Up, a store in St James, Mo. but its a drive for me.
