In 2015, Snappi introduced new colors to the line-up. This summer, they decided to re-introduce size 2. We received a complimentary sample of Size 2 Snappi’s to review.
Here is a picture of the new Size 2 next to the Size 1 that we reviewed last year:
The new size two is much easier to stretch over large flats and prefolds on a toddler. I put a large bamboo flat on 3-year-old Ingrid and the Snappi held everything just fine as she played. 
Here are some tips to get you started with Snappi fasteners.
First of all, they are super easy to use right out of the package. Give them a good stretch first to improve the flexibility. Fold and wrap the diaper around your baby and then hold your Snappi by the middle. Depending on whether you are left or right handed, fasten the teeth into the diaper first on one hip and then the other. Last of all, pull the Snappi down and fasten to the crotch area of the diaper.
Be sure to replace your Snappi if you see any damage or weak spots. I’ve used Snappi over the years and usually get between 6 to 12 months of regular usage out them. They work well for any type of cotton or bamboo prefold, but don’t grip as tightly on smooth jersey or flannel.
And don’t worry about the teeth on your Snappi; there’s also a safety loop on each end which covers the sharp points when not in use.
Snappi cloth diaper fasteners come in a variety of assorted colors (below) in packs of 3 or 5. I would love for Snappi to introduce some “fun” colors in the future (swirls, dots, stripes, etc). They are sold on SnappiBabyUSA.com and Amazon. To see a video of how Snappi’s work, click here.

I use a Snappi primarily with snapless fitteds like the GMD Workhorse or Diaper Rite fitted. I also use them on my cotton prefolds that are regular length, not smart fit length.
Age use flats and prefolds. We have been using the snappis for 2.5 years. We have big boys so I love the size two after newborn stage
I have used prefolds and flats but haven’t used a snappy.
I would love to try a snappi. I have boingos at the moment and they worked great on our prefolds but I seem to struggle with them on our flats. And I’ve never had a talent for diaper pins so I need something lol.
We’ve used snappis for over 10 years! With both prefolds and flats. They worked better with my girls than with my boys. No matter how I position the lower portion, one boy in particular always was uncomfortable. Used boingos for last boy, but snappis are much easier!
My sister was going to use prefolds and flats with snappis and boingos with her daughter but then she changed her mind. My other sister is pretty committed to using prefolds and flats for her babies, though. I’ve used snappis and boingos, but only when practicing folds on a doll, not on a real baby.
I am just starting my stash and plan on using prefolds . I have not yet even bought any snappis. Great information to know mainly for newbies like me 😅
Yes, I have the size 1 snappi, and I love it. So much easier than pins and much less nerve-wracking :). I use primarily flats and prefolds under pull-up and wrap covers during the day, and use pockets at night, stuffed with flats and prefolds.
just building stash for baby … waiting on arrival.. thanks for all the great giveaways! I had never heard of these but they do look interesting.
I’ve used prefolds and flour sack towels and old baby blankets as flats. I’ve always pad folded all of them but would love to try a snappi!
We haven’t used snappis but we use prefolds and covers and I’ve always wanted to try different folds but never had any snappis haha.
I do have some fitted diapers but have never gotten to try a snappi although I have always wanted to.
I haven’t used these yet but hope to when my baby comes in September! I have some covers for prefolds in newborn size.
I’m still using old school pins because I’m not sure if a Snappi is really worth it. They look useful, but ive never really seen one work first-hand
Great post as usual, I love my Snappis!
We use snappis with our green mountain fitteds but could use some new ones for our new baby.
I use flats, but i just put them in my pocket diapers, id like to try snappies though.
I use prefolds all the time and will be trying fitteds with my new baby. I haven’t tried Snappis yet, but my best friend loves them.
We are new to cloth diapers, and starting out by trying prefolds with snappis and covers.
I have not tried any of these, only pockets!
