The different type of diaper enclosures

There are many diaper brands sold in the market. Most of them are sold online in Malaysia. Although there are many types, their designs don't differ that much. One thing to note is that the different design of these diapers enclosure and by diapers in here, i'm referring to the non-traditional type which are much like disposables' shape. So here are the types that i've come to know:

1) Velcro:

This is much like the style of disposables. Easy to put on the baby. These velcros are normally the strong typed that is durable. They stick even after frequent use. However, there might be other diaper brands which uses a non-durable type of velcro which a lot of customers might face problem with. But so far, i've seen and used Happy Heiny's, Drybees and Freshbots and their velcro are strong!

However, although this type is easy to put on the baby, it is also easy for the baby to undo it. Just put it this way, your baby is smart. After a few times using it she will also try to play with the velcro. My daughter does it too! That's why i wear her pants / skirts so she doesn't have the direct access to the diaper she's wearing.


2) Snap:

This is used in Fuzzibunz. You snap them shut or you open them back, like a push button. So far, I've found 2 different types of snap designs, namely one on Fuzzibunz and the other on Green Acre Design (GAD) diapers. These designs are trimmer than the velcro typed. Although both Fuzzibunz and GAD uses snaps, their different designs make them unique in their own way. The snaps in Fuzzibunz are designed such that you can control the size of the baby's waist and also the baby's leg casings. This is not something that GAD can do much.

Although most people think that using Snap would be difficult on your impatient baby, i think it's not that bad. You can snap the top row first, then the baby can be standing/sitting to have the second row adjusted and snapped. With snap, it is harder for your baby to undo them.

3) Hook:

I have not used this, although i do have one in stock (Wahmies OS). It looks so complicated to be used, what's more with the instruction. But, i think by examining its details, it shouldn't be that hard to use. But, in my opinion, it is more difficult than using snaps. This type is trimmer than other diaper enclosures. That's what 'they' say but i've not tried it. I do believe that it might be true because by comparing it with other diapers, their size are a bit smaller/compact than others with different enclosure types. You may get this type of diaper, specifically Wahmies OS from miabambina.com or ezmotherhood.com (Online Malaysia Retailers).
