BG 4.0 snaps vs aplix

I know that snaps vs aplix is a preference, but for those of you who use the BG 4.0 with snaps what do you think about them and what do you think about the fit?

If you've used thh 4.0 snaps, have you also used the 4.0 aplix?  Which one do you like better?

DH is a SAHD and he likes aplix better than snaps.  So I am thinking about buying a few 4.0's.  We have some 3.0 aplix right now and DH likes them.

Do you get as good of a fit with the snaps?

I know there is the CD spreadsheet, but I wanted to you ladies to get a larger response on the BG 4.0's.

Thanks!

Re: BG 4.0 snaps vs aplix

  • I definitely get a better fit with aplix!  I feel like DD is between snap sizes right now. 

    That being said, I am still undecided as to which I like better.  Mine are all a month old or less, so I would like to see how well the aplix holds up.  I try to take very good care of the diapers because I really want them to last through multiple children, but I just think the snaps will stay nicer longer.

  • Since they started putting out aplix replacement kits, I decided not to buy anymore of the snaps.  I really prefer the aplix, it just gets funky and needs replacing after awhile.  I have 3 of the 4.0 in snaps and I don't think they fit as nicely as the aplix.  They are handy though, because my DS is in the stage where he thinks it's awesome to pull his diaper off :D  I just de-stashed a bunch of HP snaps in favor of my BG 3.0 aplix with replacement kits on them now (after 2+ years of use).

  • I like snaps and to be honest, I don't love BG 4.0 snaps. I don't think the fit is great, although I like it better than my BG 3.0s. I think overall I'm not a BG fan. I have never used a BG 4.0 with aplix.

  • I really like the snaps and we haven't had a problem with the fit yet.

  • The aplix is a better fit and easier in the middle of the night, but I haven't had any problems with the fit of the snaps. I have more snaps because of the longevity. If DH is the one at home, I'd get what he prefers.
