About Us
Our Mission Statement
Snap-EZ ® Inc is founded on the principle of combining
high quality products and friendly customer service!
As a Stay-At-Home, homeschooling mother to my 11 children
(ranging from toddlers to adults),
I want our company to be known for its high quality and great customer service,
while still meeting the needs of my family.
This business adventure is a great training tool for my children (Business 101!)
Our Story
Snap-EZ ® diapers, training pants, briefs and accessories are the result of "necessity is the mother of invention."
I needed to reduce our cost of living and that meant
going back to "the drudgery of cloth diapers".
UGH!
But there was a surprise in store for me.
The cloth diapers of today are nothing like
the
cloth diapers of even 5 years ago.
In the summer of 2004, I was introduced to the new "PUL Pockets"
by a dear friend and I was hooked.
With these converting from disposable to cloth came with ease!
The only problem was that I could not afford to buy enough
(even 2 was more than I could afford!).
So, I began making them.
They turned out so well that I decided that I could go
beyond saving money
by doing cloth diapers, to making money by manufacturing and selling them!
And presto! Another SAHM magically became a WAHM!
And you are the beneficiary!
Here's my wonderful family, all together for Christmas 2009:
What made us who we are today?
There were many life experiences that set the stage for Snap-EZ .
Things like 18 years of diapering my 9 children
(now I have 11 children and have been diapering children for 25 years!)
,
6 years as a professional seamstress
and 6 years
as a business owner are the experiences
that stand behind my business & products!
We are doing our best to help more people transition from disposables to cloth, making products that are not available in today's market!
We offer high quality products, handmade in the USA
that will stand the test of time.
We are now going to focus our products
at meeting the needs of children, youth and adults with special needs,
while also providing the best cloth training pants too!
What makes our products different?.
They are all handmade (no mass production).
We strive to create innovative designs to make
using cloth
a way
of life for more people.
We only use the highest quality goods to produce my products
- you can't make a quality product if you use inferior materials!
With the exception of our snaps and elastic, all our materials are made in the USA!
How our Snap-EZ products are made
At this time Snap-EZ ® products are handmade by Ruth
and 4 or so WAHMs (Work-At-Home-Moms),
as well as a our older girls who helps with
snapping/stocking/cutting and shipping!!.
By personally training my seamstresses,
we are able to maintain a high standard of product manufacturing
so you can rely on us to give you the quality product
you have
come to expect from Snap-EZ ® Inc

Recent developments...
As of October, 2010, we decided that it was time for us to step out of this business.
It was a very difficult decision for us to make,
but there were many things that had made it more and more
difficult for me to run the business and still take care of my family properly.
But in February of 2011, we decided to
not throw everything out
- we decided to "start over".
We focused on what we do best
- Pocket Diapers, training pants and adult incontinence products!
In order to make it work, we simplified everything, but it's going great!
For the transition to new production,
we are continuing to sell off our existing adult products,
until they are gone,
while offering a new line of products!
On April 15, 2011 we re-opened offering our new line of youth and adult pocket diapers and training pants/briefs!
