Snappies, do they wreck cloth nappies?

[~clover~]

I've only ever used snappi's on terry, which has been fine, so not sure on that one.
I always have safety pins on hand anyway. It can be scary using pins, but you get the hang of it

yes i do have the pins, but havent used them yet (actually havent needed too, im still on my first two pairs of snappies) and i use the terry towelling nappies. ive started cutting corners of late though, and am pretty ok in saying that i'm using disposables more often. guilt over the environment, but more special time with Harper and not my washing machine
Audax pretty much summed up what I was thinking but could never articulate regarding specifics, well done
oh, and we do have wild animals (not nappy tearing ones!) here in Perth, but they only come out when the high heels and wine is flowing ive still got 5 months out of nine to catch up on you know

Audax hon I knew I could count of you

Sunny you wild animal you! lol

Alright after reading your replies I got them out again and my bamboo prefolds and thought I must be doing something wrong. I thought maybe they were being weird casue the nappy wasn't actually being put onto a baby, so I got out a teddy bear and put the nappy on it and fastened it with the snappy, and surprise surprise it works... yes I'm so lame, told you I didn't have a clue lol anyway I tried it out on all the different fabrics I have for nappies and they do seem to be fine. I must have just caught the claw bits on the change mat cover and it pulled a thread but if I'm a bit more careful it should be fine by the looks of it. Thanks girls.

We have a gorgeous knitted teddy who looks fab in his BBH petite! DH refuses to practice on dolls, so it has to be teddies. (I make him practice so that I can loosely disguise an excuse to play with my fluff collection)
