The Snappi diaper fastener offers an easy and hygienic way to fasten diapers. The Snappi fastener is much faster to use than pins and provide a nicely balanced secure fastening, which gives the nappy it is used on, a high degree of containment.
Snappi gives a modern touch to baby care and will always be in demand as long as babies are born. It is made from a stretchable non-toxic material which is T-shaped with grips on each end. These grips inbed in the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting diaper with enough natural movement for the baby. Snappi is available in a range of bright and pastel colours.
Snappi fasteners must be used responsibly, and need to be used correctly in order to work effectively.
STRETCH the Snappi fastener before its first use. The stretching triggers the ‘memory’ of the Snappi to return to its original size, and in doing so, will pull the diaper to the middle to allow for a snug fit. It also makes it more pliable/elastic and therefore easier to use. This is essential for the Snappi to work properly.
Stretch the Snappi by holding it in the center with one hand and with your other hand, grab close to the end of one of the arms, avoiding the sharp teeth, and pull. Do not grab the Snappi by the loops.
Repeat this about 10 times for each arm. You will notice the material begin to soften up and become more elastic. Once you do this for each arm your Snappi Diaper Fastener is ready for use!
Change Snappi Fastener after cca. 6 month of use.

Be sure to break them in before using by stretching them a few times to soften them up. Always use a wrap style cover over them, not a pull on so that the cover also aids in holding the fastener in place and the cover keeps them away from baby. Don't allow baby to hold the Snappi.
When storing them when not in use, I like to use a little plastic baggie or pouch of some kind. You don't want to be digging around in the bottom of you diaper bag and come across an unprotected fastener with your fingers, so keeping it in something, or a certain compartment in the diaper bag for example, is useful. The grabbers are sharp enough to hurt your skin but with a little logical care it's no problem. Likewise, when you are using diaper pins, always store the pins in the closed position. An open pin is not safe. This is common sense but it bears mentioning.
Before first use, break in your Snappis. Stretch the Snappi by holding it in the center with one hand and with your other hand, grab close to the end of one of the arms, avoiding the sharp teeth, and pull. Do not grab the Snappi by the loops. Repeat this about 10 times for each arm. You will notice the material begin to soften up and become more elastic. Once you do this for each arm your Snappi Diaper Fastener is ready for use!

Snappis work best with terry cloth diapers, prefolds, and any other cloth diapers with a loose enough weave for the Snappi to hook into. They do not work well with tightly woven diapers, or diapers made from delicate fibres. They are only recommended for diapers where the diaper fabric is thick enough that the teeth on the grips do not touch baby’s skin. By following these instructions, the Snappi should be secure and the diaper will fit snugly.
WARNING:
Do NOT use a Snappi on a child who is able to undo it or remove their diaper/diaper cover/clothing.
A Snappi is NOT A TOY. Keep out of children’s reach when not in use!
Replace your Snappi if there is any physical damage or weak spots
Do NOT use a Snappi on a child who is able to undo it or remove their diaper/diaper cover/clothing.
Snappis should only be fastened by an adult.
Use a cover over a Snappi fastener.
Do not leave your Snappi in the sun for extended periods as this can eventually weaken the Snappi.
Replace your Snappis after 6 months of use.
CARE:
Clean your Snappi in hot soapy water. Do not launder with diapers in the washer as the grips could damage your diapers.
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.
Do not pull on the loops of the Snappi when attaching, as this can cause breakage. These loops serve as a safety feature only, as explained above. Use the flat, solid tabs for leverage.
Inspect your Snappi before each use. Discontinue use immediately if there is any sign of cracking, tearing, breakage or wear of any parts.
