Just wanting peoples opinion on Snaps vs velcro for the Pocket MCN's?

I'm looking at getting the Mommy's Touch pockets at this stage but not sure if the snaps or velcro would be better?? I would prefer getting a OSFA nappy too

It really comes down to personal preference. I prefer snaps because I just don't like velcro - I don't like the ripping sound it makes or that it sticks to other things in the wash. I like snaps because I think they look tidier and are less bulky than velcro and because they stay looking good & strong for longer. Plus they're harder for little ones to rip open than velcro

Velcro can be adjusted to your baby's size, Snaps are predetermined.

Both equally noisy in the middle of the night!

Snaps look cute.

I'm with Kiwivic - i don't like velcro at all .. the noise, the fact they catch other clothes in the wash and if you don't keep cleaning out the lint they look untidy and after a while (a long while) they stop sticking so well.

I use Fuzzis - and have no issues with the snaps except trying to decide when is the right time to adjust the fit on the nappy as DD grows but not so much as to allow leaks.

It is a personal choice.

I prefer velcro as I find it easier on a very riggly toddler!! And also that you can adjust the size a little easier than with snaps. DH finds it easier too!

But then I do LOVE my itti bittis and they are snaps.....

They're both alright but my preference is snaps. It takes the kids longer to learn how to undo them, the velcro sticks to other things in the wash (or clothes they have on), and when they are learning to roll/crawl the velcro also sticks to the carpet
