Snappi or Boingo?!

angelacez

I'm having #4 soon and I've never done the newborn phase.  We're doing prefold/flats with covers.  So the big questions is snappi or boingo?!  I've used a snappi before, and it worked well but got my finger caught in it really bad.  Which made me think about using boingos this time around.  Thoughts?  Have you used both?  The boingos are super cute too, which would be an other nice plus if we went coverless in the house.  Let me know what you all think.  I'm planning on ordering one of them with my next round of flats.  Thanks!

I had mostly Snappis and one set of Boingos.  I found that the bottom of the T on the Snappis got caught up on things when DS was running around in just a prefold.  I also liked that I could use just 1 Boingo on certain fitteds that I had. 

Some people don't like that there are 2 and you could loose one, but I never had that problem.  My Boingo is the older style (I think it's a little bit bigger and thicker between the stars).  I did find it a little bit more difficult to grasp at times when I tried to put it on.  That being said, I always grabbed the little thin strip on the Snappi to attach it which apparently you aren't supposed to do.  Oh well....

If you already have some Snappis, I would suggest getting a Boingo and trying it out.  Personally I feel like I had use for both of them.  Next time around I will probably grab another Boingo so that I have a few of each in my stash.

Boingos have the same little teeth that I suppose you could injure yourself. However, I like them that they don't put so much pressure all across the tummy area like the Snappi does.  The Snappi is a little faster to put on though.

I liked Boingos with flats, but prefer Snappis with prefolds. Overall, I like Snappis better because they're quicker, but I find that I get the snuggest fit with Boingos. Try both, you'll probably wind up liking each for different folds.
