NO MORE PINS!!
The
Snappi® Diaper Fastener revolutionized cloth diapering! Over 50 million
have sold worldwide. It is an EASY to use fastener that offers a
practical and reliable way to fasten a cloth diaper, replacing the
diaper pin. It comes in a variety of colors and is made from a
stretchable non-toxic material, which is T-shaped with grips on each
end. These grips hook into the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting
diaper with enough natural movement for the baby.
The
new shape Snappi® fastener now offers an additional SAFETY FEATURE!
When the Snappi® fastener is not in use, fold the thin strip at the end
of each leg to the back of the Snappi®, and slip over the teeth of the
white grip. This acts as a barrier and prevents the sharp teeth from
being exposed.
The
Snappi® fastener is manufactured from FDA approved raw materials, a
polyester based polyurethane which is degradable on aging through
hydrolysis and/or microbiological attack. It contains NO latex or any
other adulterant, dilutent or modifying polymers. The composition is
100% polyurethane. It is made in South Africa.
Please note
that Snappis will not work on hemp or organic cotton or most knit
fabrics. They need a loose weave to grab hold of. Birdseye and Chinese
prefolds are the ideal diaper fabrics to use with Snappis.
Now in toddler size!
The
Size 2 Snappi® is longer across the top ‘T’ of the Snappi®. Once
stretched correctly, the Snappi® fastener can stretch 4” further across
the width than the Size 1 Snappi®. It comfortably fits up to a 30”
waist. Although this depends largely on the size and shape of the
toddler, we recommend trying the Size 2 – Toddler Snappi® for toddlers
aged 18 months+. Available in single packs of white.
NOTE: Keep all Snappi® fasteners out of children’s reach when not in use.
WARNING:
1. ALWAYS use a cover when using a Snappi® fastener on your baby’s diaper.
2. Keep out of children’s reach when not in use!
3. Do not use your Snappi® for longer than 6 months.
4. Do not leave your Snappi® lying in the sun as it is not UV resistant and can reduce the effectiveness of the Snappi®.
CARE:
Clean your Snappi® in hot soapy water. Do not launder them with diapers
in the washer as this may weaken the grip attachment.
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®. Inspect your Snappi® before each use and
discontinue use immediately if there is any sign of cracking, tearing,
breakage or wear of the teeth or any other parts.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Snappi® fasteners need to be used correctly in order to work effectively.
1.
STRETCH the Snappi® fastener before its first use. The stretching
triggers the 'memory' of the Snappi® to return to its original size and
in so doing, pulls the diaper together to the middle to allow for a
snug fit. This is essential for the Snappi® to work properly. This can
be done by holding the Snappi® in the center with one hand and close to
the end of the leg with the other hand. Then s-t-r-e-t-c-h a few times
(10 or so). As you do this you should feel how the material 'softens'
or gets more elastic. Follow this stretching procedure with each leg.
The Snappi® is now ready to go!
2. Make sure that the Snappi®
is ATTACHED SECURELY. It is important that the Snappi® 'leg' being
attached be stretched across the diaper before hooking it into the
diaper. So,
Hook Left,
Stretch ACROSS and Hook Right,
Stretch DOWN and Hook Center
In other words, the Snappi® fastener should go from a ‘T’ shape to a ‘Y’ shape.
By
following these instructions, the Snappi® should be secure, the diaper
will fit snugly and the baby should not be able to undo it. ALWAYS
place a cover over the diaper and Snappi® fastener.
