ABZ Pin Free Cloth Diaper Fasteners for Prefolds, Pre-Flats or Flat Diapers - 4 Pack - Arctic

I used boingos years ago when cloth diapering, but couldn't find them this go around. I did purchase another type of diaper closure, but it just doesn't seem to work as well. I prefer this method! These seem like good quality and do their job well.

They took a little bit of getting used to coming from using snappies, but now I prefer these 100%. Might still choose snappies for the newborn phase, but once my guy got a little bigger (a few months old) these were a game changer. Even the bigger snappies got to be too tight across his belly, or straight up wouldn't stretch far enough. Many prefolds tend to be on the narrower side which doesn't leave a lot to come across the front, but with these there's no issue there at all. Been using them for several months now, they still look brand new, and make any diaper fit no matter how much he grows.

The grip isn't great. Not easy to stretch.

I only recently started reaching for these ABZ fasteners now that my baby is almost 6 months. I found them to be way too big and bulky when he was a newborn/smaller baby and used our Snappi fasteners instead. I included a pic of a newborn-sized stuffy in a newborn GMD prefold so you can see what I mean. I was worried about them being uncomfortable for baby because they stuck out so much on the sides, and if i brought them in further almost had to stagger them on top of each other to get them on, if that makes sense. I also find them harder to use when baby is on the tail end of a prefold size, as they don't have as much stretch as a Snappi and are, again, bulkier. Now that baby is bigger we are using them regularly and I have had no issues with them breaking or coming apart (issues I did have with Snappi fasteners).

I have only used diaper pins on cloth diapers so I thought I would give these fasteners a try. They are sooo much easier to use and hold fine. They were large enough for adult diapers and two fasteners on each side worked best I’m a convert.

I wanted to love these. I decided to buy them when Snappi was out of stock. They are beautiful and seem sturdy. However, they are not nearly as user friendly as Snappi. They are large, making it difficult to create a nice tight seal around a baby’s legs. It’s difficult for me to explain exactly how but you need to secure fastener to the corner of the wing in order to create tension both around the waist and around the thigh, so you aren’t able to fasten the other end symmetrically to the front of the diaper. For context I have a 19 lb chunky 4 month old in a size intermediate GMD prefold. I usually opt for the wider prefolds and use a size 1 Snappi. Folding the corner of the wing inward can help, but makes the fit less snug than an overlapping corner would be. Sizing down to a narrower width prefold may also solve the fit issue but at the cost of losing absorbency. The ends of the fasteners are slippery and therefore difficult to grip and place, especially after using a cloth-safe, oil based diaper balm. The teeth are very rough on the diaper material and cause very noticeable wear and tear on the diaper after only one use, which had not happened with years of use of Snappi. If you’re used to using Snappis and they work for you, I do not recommend these as an alternative.

These work perfect! If you have issues of them falling off you have to make sure to have some tension when applying.

Safe, effective fasteners. Beginning flat cloth diapering as a great grandma. Was given a batch of dull safety pins- not safe. Decided to give these a try. Much safer and surprisingly secure. Will encourage young family members to give flat cloth diapering a try and recommend these fasteners.

Easy to use. Works great for my newborn

They are very secure. I actually bought them to use on a wrap for my knee. They hold firmly, and don't cut you. As an added bonus, they glow in the dark, and are very flexible. They will work for their intended use as well. Very versatile item.

These are no where near the quality of BOINGOS. They wear out in a week. When plastic hooks go blunt right away or snaps off then it’s costing me money to buy more. Im cloth diapering to save money. I had a set of Boingo last 7 months.
