Snaps...size 16 or 20?

[Mrs.Oz]

Which is better for diaper making, or what's your preference, and why?

Thanks!

I use size 16s on mine. I read that the size 16s are better used on newborn sizes though. I've never had a problem with them on larger sizes, or found them too fiddly to use. I also use them on childrens clothing.

I'm thinking about investing in a set of size 20 dies. I think most people use size 20s. Since I've never used them I can't really compare and say which is better.

I think I use 18's.

most poeople who make diapers for sale use either all size 20, or only use 16 or 18 for nb size... most snap presses will come with size 20 dies... Serena's I think comes with both 20 and 16... I have only 20's, and they work for everything... but I would like to get 16's eventuallt for NB sizes and for mamacloth...

I like the 16 for children's clothing, mama pads, craft projects, and nb/small diapers. I use the 16 or 20 for medium diapers, and 20 for large diapers and clothing that will be snapped by little hands.

I read that 20 was the standard for making diapers. That's what I plan to use...
