Cloth diaper users: hook & loop (Velcro) vs. snap diapers?
Which is better? I've read that Velcro is more adjustable and easier to use, but doesn't last too long after repeated use and washing. Snaps are more durable, but harder to use and not as adjustable.
I'll be a first time mommy this September and need some advice! Thanks
Yay! Good on you for going the (ultimately) cheaper, way cute and environmentally friendlier route of wash-at-home cloth!
I used a variety of dipes, and my preference was snaps. Diaper snaps are big and plastic, not like those finger-assaulting metal snaps on onesies. The snaps are also very adjustable; even if you're not doing one-size dipes, each size has a variety of waist sizes you can choose. Velcro/hook & loop was definitely not a favorite. They wear out so fast and snag on everything. They also curl up. Plus myriad other surprise problems. They don't get my vote.
Just a bit of unsolicited advice, too: don't choose a dipe before baby is born. I thought I would be a BumGenius and Happy Heinies gal, all the way, but the sample BG and HH dipes I got didn't fit my girl AT ALL! Suffice to say that it's sheer luck that I avoided poop in my hair one day. After trying everything from simple prefolds to Blueberry, I ended up going with Fuzzi Bunz and am a die hard fan above all else. They just fit my little bit so much better than any other brand. So get yourself a bunch of prefolds or a box of disposables for the first month or two while you rotate through a sampler pack of cloth and choose what covers your baby's bum the best.
Have fun...cloth is the cutest!
