contoured dipes that require covers (like kissaluvs, bamboozles, etc) all have snap fasteners, with the interior part of the snap against baby’s skin – the original snaps are simply a flat plastic plate, so there’s nothing to scratch the baby’s skin. If you wanted, maybe you could just hand sew a strip of microfleece over the line of snaps, if it really bothers you.
I have BG pockets, as well as a bunch of AIOs, all in need of new fasteners. I’m totally going to try this – my concern is if the snaps will work when they have to go through so many layers of fabric with an AIO. Has anyone else done a snaps conversion on an AIO successfully?

sorry my daughter started grabbing my computer and submitted that comment before I finished. I also want to put snaps on the flip inserts and on the flip covers. They bunch up so much and wont stay put so she (if she goes #2) it goes all over the place and all over the cover so I can’t reuse it. I hate this. I have not tried it yet but hopefully I can find some small snaps to use so that they wont be annoying for my daughter.

Lydia I was thinking the same thing, not only do I want to remove the velcro (cause its a pain in the butt) and convert my all in ones from velcro to snaps (so glad I found this site) I also want to just like you maybe put snaps on the fli

Just trying to figure out if this is really going to be cost effective for me. I have 18 BG 3.0′s. I have no supplies to start out with. Can you give me a guestimate for how much I am talking to convert myself. Also any references for sending them out to have someone else do it for me
Thanks for the great info!

Not sure. It’s worth a try (and let me know how it goes!)

I have not done this conversion myself (I only have snaps). I have not heard of any leaking problems.

Question for you on the conversion: do the holes left over from removing the Aplix seal up? And have you had leaking troubles?

My parents JUST bought us 9 BumGenius OS pockets, and I own a snap press. I’ve been wondering if I’d prefer to have them as snap diapers from the get-go, or if I should wait and let the velcro wear out first?

i was soooo happy to find this page! i have a 3 yr old who is daytime potty trained and a 14 mnth old still in sposies. i just converted to cloth this week and was getting frustrated. i bought some bg used at an unbelieveable price, but they were too pricey for me to stomach buying addt’l new ones. so i found a lady locally that sold me alot of her mismatched stash. they r all size large, but even though my son is over 20lbs, the are not as snug as i would like. so i got to thinking the main reason i wanted the bg was b/c of the grow w/me feature of the snaps. i am gong to buy a snap press today and give it a go!
