Does anyone know what size snaps these use? I'm considering adding snaps to some of my prefolds to turn them into inserts.

I want to say I've read on the internet where someone asked this question before that they were KAM 20s (but I might be wrong). I know they are the same as the snaps in the Best Bottoms, Softbums, Imagines, and Lalabye diapers if you know what size any of those are.

They are standard size. For instance, I can use my Best Bottom inserts with Buttons inserts.

We feel pretty confident thinking it would work with denim as the fabric for jeans or overall snaps. May depend on fabric and size of snap you'd be installing and what item of clothing. We're not sure it would work for small/tiny snaps although there may be other adapters for different sized snaps. Hope this helps. I know now that we have the tool I'd certainly be willing to try it versus tossing the item of clothing;) good luck!

I don't see any problem using them on a leather belt. Make sure to punch the hole through the leather first with a leather puncher, the hole diameter should be slightly smaller than the snaps, then install the snaps.

Looking at the directions the "common settings" are eylets/w washers and flat embellishments. The sizes are 3/16" and 1/8". I've only used the eyelets. I did a little search and there were a few sites that said you can use metal snaps with the tool, but you should do a more extensive search than I. I wish I had a more definitive answer for you, but I hope it helped some.

I've never used flips but I use prefolds and other inserts in them and it works perfectly. These happen to be one of my favorite diapers and we have a large collection of all different kinds of cloths.

I would get the person who bought it to give u the amazon receipt a d try to work with the seller to get a new shipment ... have use mine for over a month and they have constantly been washed and no issues what so ever with snaps coming off ... love these bibs ... give it another try ....

To be honest, I thought the same thing and bought some myself, but never used them. I think you use them on the insert and then put the cover on? Never tried it that way. I do use the snappies on the other cloth diapers we have from our second child.

I used standard snaps from my local hardware store. I am not sure of the size. The snaps got stuck in the tool sometimes. I put a couple of layers of duct tape in the receptacle end and that worked.

whereas they have 3 snaps at each corner, I suppose you could tuck a flat sheet and use these to hold it in place. Would it work as well as on a fitted sheet - not sure but there is only one way to find out so go for it Christie and let us know.

Yes, I found that I had to pull on the whole cover to give it plenty of room for the snaps to get down where they go. Once the snaps are down I would use one finger to snap them in place while holding the fabric with the other hand. It wasn't too much after I had done it a few times.

I have a No Boundaries zip binder. I got sleeves from Walmart that didn't fit because there was not enough space between the holes to fit. It seemed to be cut off at the top and bottom of the side with holes. Since this one seemed larger on that side, I am unsure still. Would anyone know if these would work?

I've found Buttons, like Best Bottoms, works fine for trifolding prefolds (size small, maybe mediums), but becomes difficult to use with larger folded prefolds when you want to secure them on with a snappi. They are cut to be low in the rise and trim over the hips and bum. Kind of the opposite of what you need for prefolds put on that way. We couldn't use them with prefolds after the newborn stage. They still work beautifully with our origami and pad folded flats however on our 23 lb 14 month old. Hope that helps :-)

It works great with them! I started with Snappis and eventually just used the cover to secure the prefold.

I measured a couple of my snaps and they were exactly 1/2 inch. And yes, they stay together well in the washer and dryer. They snap together very snugly and they are super easy to use.

I recommend getting Snappies rather than pinning. They're plastic, and after some practice you can apply them with one hand. Once your babe is really wiggling you'll want the prefolds to be nice and secure.

I don't fasten them... I just use covers with these trifolded in the center. Some people use snappis but I find them unnecessary.

I recently purchased these pliers to apply plastic diaper snaps. The snaps I purchased were not KAM snaps and the pliers worked perfectly. The set comes with three different sized "heads", so I was able to easily find one that fit my snaps. All in all, I am very pleased with my pliers and how well they work. I have used them several times and they are great. I highly recommend them!
