Snappi Diaper Fasteners

Oh, how we wish we'd known about Snappis years ago when we first started cloth diapering. We opted for flat diapers because they're much less expensive than those with fancy built-in fasteners, but the pins drove us to distraction and back again. Enter the Snappi... cheap, easy to use, and kinda cute, to boot...

The Snappi diaper fastener 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. We weren't sure how well it works, but found this rave review at Cool Tools (which also warns against inferior knock-offs).
