Snap or Hook-and-Loop Fastener for Diaper Covers? Differences in Fastening Methods
It’s often said that reusable diapers grow with the child. What does that mean?
A reusable diaper has two types of adjustments:
-
Width adjustment – using snaps or hook-and-loop fasteners, which is used to properly fit the diaper around the waist. We adjust it every time we put the diaper on the child.
-
Length adjustment – we adjust it according to the child’s weight/height. For smaller babies, we fasten all the snaps for length, and as the child grows, we unfasten the snaps, leaving 1 or 2 rows open. This way, we can lengthen and widen the diaper to fit the growing child.
