Cloth Diaper Users- A ?

I'm wondering for those of you whom this applies to...

Do you use pins or the Snappi?

I've never used the Snappi and I'm curious about it....

ETA: Oh, and where can I find just ONE snappi to try out? I see them on places like ebay, but with shipping it would a waste!

    We've been using a snappi since DD was 2 weeks because it really helped hold in the poo.  My sister used pins when her DD was little, but IMO, the snappi is MUCH easier!  I like snappies too, now that DD is more mobile, because they help keep the diaper from shifting.

    We use a Snappi when we use prefolds (which isn't often since we use mostly pockets). They are super simple to use.

    We bought just one Snappi at a local cloth diaper shop. Do you happen to have one close? Or maybe someone is selling on on your local Craigslist?

    Snappies are SO much easier than pins! (for starters, no sticking a wiggly baby!)

    I got mine from a local CD store, but you could get them from one of the online CD stores.

    I use snappis (we do/have done prefolds full time during the day). And, since he has learned to roll, I don't think pins would work at all (or maybe that would teach him not to squrim so much..owie!). As weird as it sounds, I bought mine used (Jillian's drawers has them), and they were in perfect condition (didn't even look used). I just washed them in warm soapy water. I don't think they have free shipping, so maybe just try to find a site that has free shipping if that is all you need.

    We've used both.  Didn't like the snappi.  Just never got the hang of it.  Pins are tough on Miss Wigglepants, but I've pretty much got it down.  If you want, I can snail mail you one of my snappis.  We have four and don't use any of them.  PM me and I'll drop it in the mail.

    We actually take "Option C" - neither.  :)  We do have some snappis, but don't find that we need them when we have the prefold and cover on.
