You may be wondering what makes me "The Cloth Diaper Whisperer." Well, after more than eleven years in the industry and as a cloth diapering mama myself, I have become uniquely qualified to answer just about any question related to cloth diapering --from "What do you do with the poop?" to "Can I really get my husband to change a cloth diaper?"
Great Video! I have two Snappis for my prefolds and this video would've been great when I was learning how to use them the correct way. It took me a good two or three times each diaper change for about a week to realize what I was doing wrong.
So embarressing...I watched this video and realized that I had been folding the incorrect way this whole time!!! The snappis were correct but no wonder I have been cleaning up so many messes.
Thank you for a great demonstration. We just started using a snappi here this week and it was a lot easier than I had anticipated. We're planning on using it with baby #3 due here in about 3 weeks.
Question: What about boys? Does it smash there little boy parts? It looks as though it would. Thanks.
Snappis are wonderful! I recently picked up a second Snappi, this time in blue... Our first one was white, and it kept getting lost in the diaper pile!
Andrea: Your question gave both Kelly and I quite a chuckle!
No, the Snappi will not smash little boy parts. It simply grips the outer portion of the prefold (or fitted/contour) diaper and doesn't really apply any pressure in the boys "netherlands."
I am not a prefold user at all (pocket and aio gal) but this makes me want to give prefolds a try. The video makes it seem so simple. Yes, hosiewosie, I second that Ilyas is very darling..and handsome too!
We love using a Snappi--I probably wouldn't have touched a prefold without one. Good video--I'm a visual learner I would have loved to have seen this when I first started.
Thank you for this! I'm still a little unsure about prefolds because I was worrying that I wouldn't be able to fold them right, but watching them get folded made it seem much easier than I was imagining.
I have been so curious to see how Snappi's work, I've heard that they're better than pins, but I am one of those who was scared off by pre-folds...so glad to see it's not to hard if I want to try w/ #2 :)
Thanks for the video! I have ventured into prefolds just last week and there is no way I would have if not for Snappi's- huge pins that close to my kiddo's body freak me out!!
This is a great video, and it makes me want even more to try snappis! Awesome. And can I say there is a certain amount of hilarious associated with diapering a LO in undies? I get why, but it's still funny!

ReplyDeletethis is awesome! i'm seriously considering using prefolds when #2 is an infant and the snappi seems the way to go. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThose look way easier than pins! If we have any more kids, I plan to use prefolds at the newborn stage and I will definately need to get one of these!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this video! I'm wanting to tackle prefolds and snappis when my newborn comes and this really helps with knowing how to use them!

ReplyDeleteWow. That looks so do-able that I may have to rethink my anti-prefolds stance. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIlyas is so cooperative, and so darling!
ReplyDelete#1 - So cool to finally put a voice w/ the name & face.
ReplyDelete#2 - Thank you for making the video. I have always wondered what a snappie was and how people used them. :)

ReplyDeleteVery educational for those who haven't ever used a Snappi before. And I love the bloopers reel at the end.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this. It's a new way to fold the diaper for me.
ReplyDeletegreat video! i love snappis :)
ReplyDeleteGreat video! I still havent tried prefolds on my 5 month old but they are easy to get on my 21 month old.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I'm still a little unsure about prefolds because I was worrying that I wouldn't be able to fold them right, but watching them get folded made it seem much easier than I was imagining.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. I'm going to have to try them now.
