Snaps are a practical and frequently used fastening mechanism in baby and children's clothing, especially bodystockings, because they are easy to open and close. To ensure that snaps remain functional and don't fall off and damage the fabric, it's important to take certain precautions.

First and foremost, press studs should never be opened with force. Do not jerk, pull or tear the fabric when opening the buttons. Instead, gently get a good grip on both sides of the button and press them apart evenly to avoid tearing the fabric. You can also place a fingernail in the centre of the buttons and gently open them.

When washing, always turn the garment inside out to minimise wear on the snaps. Using a laundry bag can further protect both buttons and fabric. Avoid high temperatures and heavy spinning, as this can cause unnecessary strain on the buttons.

Following these guidelines can ensure that the buttons last longer and the fabric remains intact, extending the life and functionality of the garment.
