Uncommon Cloth: Wahmies One Size Cloth Diaper with S-Hooks

This post may contain affiliate links

I thought it would be fun to start a blog post series called “Uncommon Cloth” where I feature unique, unusual, or rare cloth diapers.wahmies s-hooks

One of the first diapers I think of when I think of unusual cloth diapers is the Wahmies OS Cloth Diaper with s-hook closure instead of snaps.  You might be thinking…S-Hooks?  Really?

What is the Wahmies One Size with S-Hooks?

Wahmies One Size with S-Hooks came out in late 2007 according to my memory and blog posts documenting it’s debut.  There was quite a bit of buzz surrounding the launch of this unique new cloth diaper.  It turned out another small cloth diaper business had been producing diapers with this closure style pre-Wahmies, however Wahmies never claimed this was their new invention, at least not to my recollection.  In any event, it’s ancient history now, as Wahmies no longer produces the s-hook diapers.

They were very useful if you had a cloth diaper removing Houdini, but they also could be complicated to learn to use and tricky if you had a super wiggly baby.

Want to see this cloth diaper in action?  Check out this video from the Dirty Diaper Laundry video archives where Kim shares her review of what was a “new” cloth diaper at the time.

This diagram also shows you just how to fasten and adjust the diapers waist with the s-hooks.

So what do you think?  Do you like this concept?  Think it was just too over the top and complicated to really catch on?  Would the s-hooks have worried you?

    I’m a bit sad that my earlier videos can now be used as an archive for “historical” purposes.

      Yeah well some diapers can’t stick around forever! What other diapers do you have on there that are now extinct?

    I’m going through your diaper reviews and trying to get a good idea a of what kind of diapers I want to use for my baby due in Dec. This looks super simple but I can see myself snapping those hooks in frustration while trying to change my baby’s diaper in the middle of the night.

    These are really interestingly though. I’ve never seen these kind of diapers before!
