The Snappit Pro cloth nappy system 6kg+
The Snappit Pro cover cannot be used over flats or fitted type nappies.
How does it work?
How many do I need?
The cover can be used once or twice with a fresh insert each time, then stored for washing. If baby is not yet on solids, add a couple of additional covers.
Full time: 21 inserts, 12Ā - 14 covers. Heavier wetters will need 1 booster nappy.Ā
Part time: 6 - 10 inserts , 6 covers.
Liners -Ā We recommend using reusable fleece liners. 1 per nappy. Alternatively, use disposable liners.
Which set do I get?
New cloth parents: opt for one of the Snappit Pro newbie sets as this then contains everything you need. How many you get depends on if you want start smaller part time orĀ use the nappiesĀ full time.
We also offer the Snappit Pro in sets without boosters and liners if you already have these items or if you want to use disposable liners. Shop here.
When to add the booster?
Start with no booster. If the nappy is very wet or leaks before 3 hours, then use 1 booster.Ā If wanting to use at night, always add 2- 3 boosters. If this leaks, you need a Siesta night nappy or flats at night.
Tips for a good fit
The crease at the snaps must be flapped over so your fingers push upwards not downwards. This video shows you how to do this.Ā
The cover must not move around. Nice and snug.
Adjust the velrco tabs to a comfy position - looser for sitting babies.
Push the fleece binding into the panty line to achieve a trim fit.
Pull the fleece binding on the tummy flap out all the way along, see image below. This is key especially for sitting babies.
Troubleshooting
Leaking
If the nappy leaks before three hours, add a booster under the insert, see image below. Make sure however that it is not a fit issue (gap between leg and cover) resulting in the leak. A nappy will leak due to an absorbency problem only after two - three hours not after 30 minutes. If it leaks shortly after it has been put on, this tells you there is more than likely a gap somewhere. Adjust the fit and try again.Ā
How to check?
When baby is lying down lift a leg up to check for gaps.
If the leak happens within an hour/when sleeping on a side, there is probably just a gap.
Close the gap by pushing the nappy well into the panty line.
Boys - physically point the boys bits vertically downs with the back of your hand when putting it on.
