No you can't feel them because they are right over the part of your crotch that you don't sit on, just where the wings on disposable pads go. Depending on the brand some pads will have one snap and others will have two. I prefer the double snap because it holds the pad in place better I think. It will take a day or so to get used to the feel of the snaps when you are wearing jeans/shorts etc because obviously it is a bit bulky but after those first days you don't notice them and if you only wear them at night it wont be an issue. The first two cycles I used them I only used the clothies the entire time so I could get a better *feel* for wearing them and know what they could and couldn't handle but now I just use them at night
