Default where to buy snappis

Hi all,
We have just started using cloth nappies for our 12 months old son - we are currently just using terry flats with pins (we are waiting on a trial pack from baby beehinds tho which we are looking forward to trying ) My problem is I absolutely hate the pins and would love to use snappis but have been looking for them everywhere to no avail! I thought they were available at coles but looked in my local coles today and couldn't find them - do they only have them at bigger stores or are they available somewhere else? Can someone tell me how much they are too and whether they are easy to use? I saw some on ebay but don't know whether they would be cheaper than store once you take postage into acount
TIA,
Narelle

I bought some Snappi's a couple weeks ago from Big W for about $8 for a pack of 3. I haven't used mine yet (I'm due in 13 weeks) but I have been advised to stretch them about 50 times before using them.

Yeah, Big W has 3 packs in white only I think.

Generally I think chemists sell them but they can be a bit overpriced.

My local Coles and Woolies don't stock them anymore - don't know why not.

There are also a few stores where you can buy them online, I think Best for Baby have them and are on special atm. (????)

I'm pretty sure theweewuns.au.com still sell them.
I used to buy mine at Woolworths, but you need to search for them at times. Handy if you can catch them on sale.

Chemists always seem to have them. I work at Coles & we dont stock them (did when we were Bi-Lo though - ahh the good old days!)

You could try a Priceline (or maybe I mean Price Attack?), they have them at the one near me.

I saw some in my Coles (Gold Coast) yesterday for the first time. They had white, blue and pink and were $3.45 each. I usually buy the packs of 3 from Big W too.
