3 Pack Snappi Replaces Prefolds Flatfolds Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Easy to use with flats and prefolds. Keeps them in place without worry. Perfect for squirmy babies."
• "This works as expected -- easy to use to keep cloth prefolds/folds together."
• "Flats/preflats have been a learning curve for me but I like this alternative compared to regular pins."
• "Makes changing diapers so much faster!"
• "These clips have made cloth diapering incredibly easy. Just as safely usable at 4:37 am while the baby’s fully awake and wiggling."
• "We use flats, and these work great with them - bamboo and cotton."
• "Works really well with certain folds for our flat diapers, origami in particular."

Cons:

• "The snappi poked through my son’s prefold and into his skin. I will never be using these again!"
• "The new ones are made of this stiff plastic-like stuff that almost doesn't stretch at all... The new ones are useless."
• "I've had difficulty putting these on the cloth diapers for my son. they seemed to fall out of the material."
• "But then one of the hooks fell off within a month of use and does not stay in place anymore."
• "They don't grab on thicker diapers that are really burp cloths but marketed at cloth diapers--like the colorful ones."
• "Does not work all that well on t-shirt material, especially if there is design print on it."
• "Can't use these on thin diapers either because the claw part pokes through."

Durability

Pros:

• "They seem strong and will last a long time."
• "I have cloth diapered two babies with ONE set of 3 Snappis!"
• "I have never had a Snappi break or scratch one of the babies."
• "Our pink ones still look like new even after using them for 2+ years."
• "We have used these continuously for 6 months... But they haven't! I wish I could give them 10 stars for durability."
• "I've been using mine for almost 2 years now on my cloth diapered son. None of them have broken."
• "We have been using them on our twins for 18 mo now and they have held up."

Cons:

• "I had barely used these and 2 of the 3 broke on me."
• "Update: 2 of the snappis have broken & are unusable."
• "After 4 months of heavy use one of the Snappis finally broke."
• "It broke after two months of use."
• "The problem I have is that the rubber part, the colorful part that holds the tension, seems kind of flimsy so even though they do hold, I am afraid they will break apart."
• "The teeth are also super sharp and have torn my diapers already, rendering them unusable."
• "They rip gigantic holes in your diapers."

Safety and Comfort

Pros:

• "Pretty sharp but they have a little feature to protect you."
• "I feel as though they're much safer than pins."
• "So easy to use! Way better than old fashion pins."
• "Easy to use and there is no fear if sticking her baby with pins."
• "Great product! Obviously need to use precaution and make sure not to prick the skin while putting on a wiggly baby."
• "These ingenious clips work, they're extremely easy to use and you'll never worry about poking your baby with a pin."
• "Super easy to use, can't imagine needing to use pins, these are safer and easier."

Cons:

• "I am very hesitant to put something that breaks through my skin on my baby."
• "The clip edges are ridiculously sharp and there was no way we were putting these on our baby."
• "I'm always so afraid they are going to scratch my baby. The little 'grabbers' on them are sharp."
• "They’re not super easy to use. You have to make sure that you clip in a way that the teeth don’t poke through the cloth and injure baby."
• "The plastic teeth are crazy sharp. They don't stay secure with Gerber prefolds."
• "The only reason I just gave it 4 stars is the teeth to hold the snappi in are really sharp, so you have to make sure there is a thick piece of fabric."
• "Not very stretchy. Didn't stay in place very well. Seems bulky and uncomfortable. Will not be using."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Got a three pack of size one Snappis to use with Ecoable cotton prefold diapers... I contacted them and they sent me a five pack of size 2 snappis. The customer service is excellent - quick to respond and very helpful."
• "Customer service representative was very quick to respond and did send replacement Snappis."
• "I am in love with this product. Great design idea and they hold up great to wear and tear."
• "I recommend Snappis to anyone looking to start cloth diapering."
• "I've used these in the past when my older kids were small and I just love them."
• "I can’t speak to durability because I haven’t had them long but they look like they could last."
• "They are small enough to use on my newborn and I can continue to use them as she grows."

Cons:

• "Now I’m told to go through return process for an extra fastener. Service stinks."
• "Package is unopened with only 2 fasteners instead of 3!"
• "No instruction on how to use."
• "They don't stay secure with Gerber prefolds."
• "These would kind of attach to birdseye, but not well. Would not secure to any other type of diaper."
• "I don't like them they detach easy and don't hold the diaper in place."
• "Way too small to fit my 18 Lb 4 month old."
