This thread reminded me of snap-on rubber pants!
How I loathed having to fuss with snap-on rubber pants at change-time! If it weren't already involved enough with the folding and pinning of cloth diapers, snap-on rubber pants added to the mix.
Thankfully 99% of the moms I babysat for used pull-on rubber pants! Made for speedy changes, fit better, and no fussing with snaps!
Snap-on rubber pants did have their place though... they were good for when baby had a diaper rash.
