Cloth Diaper Snaps, Flaps & More
Cloth diapers are all unique but there are a few general terms and lingo that apply to 90% of cloth diaper products. I dare not say all because you never know when a cloth diaper brand changes a term, reinvents, or decides to design things a little differently.
Snaps
Otherwise known as poppers are found on most cloth diapers to adjust the fit of the diaper.
Snaps are used to change the length of the diaper (rise settings) and to fit the waist (waist snaps)
Flaps
A variety of flaps can be found on the inside and outside of the diaper.
Check with your brand on how to use flaps best. Some are to reduce wicking, some for inserts, some to reinforce.

Cloth diapering is not about rules but about our own strength as parents to do the best we can for our children with the resources available.
