If you like the economy of the Bummis
pant (or any pull up cover), but don't want to deal with pins, try the
Snappi. Also recommended if you want to use prefolds with your newborn for a more snug fit at the legs.
It hooks the ends of your prefold diapers together with fasteners that are similar to the fasteners used in Ace
bandages. You don't have to use pins and you are free to use any diaper cover that you
wish.
If you are using a diaper cover that closes with velcro, you probably
don't need to use a Snappi unless the cover is really roomy. If you are using a fitted diaper that fastens
with snaps or velcro you do not need a Snappi. If you are using a pull on style cover or end up
with a diaper that sags in your velcro closing cover, you may want to try a
Snappi. They also work well with our contour diapers.
Warm them up by stretching each leg as
far as you can.
Stretch each leg a few more times, pulling the legs out as
far as they will go each time.
The snappi is now ready to use.
When using
them, pull out the legs as far as they will go before hooking the diaper.
Available in assorted colors in two sizes. Unstretched the baby size is 5 inches wide and the toddler size is 6.25 inches wide. The toddler size will stretch about 2 inches more in width than the baby size.
Made in South Africa out of 100% polyurethane - no latex or rubber. 2/pack

Prefold diapers are so
thick that the hook doesn't come near baby's skin. It only hooks the top
two layers of diaper.
Author: Tessa (Russellville, AR) The advantages of the Snappi over pins are too numerous to name, but the top three are simplicity, safety, and efficacy. That diaper won't budge until the Snappi is removed!
Author: Amanda (Cypress, TX) This little thing is great! When you first get it out of the package it's a little stiff so you have to stretch it a bit before you use it. It holds tight and it's really simple to use.
