Snaps are not one-size-fits-all. If your snaps are too long for your fabric, they won't close properly. If they're too short, they'll fall off. For this reason, it's important to choose the proper size / length for your material.

Which size works best for you will depend on a number of variables, such as the fabric you are using, its density and compression levels, how hard you are able to press, and your own personal preference. For these reasons, we are unable to provide specific size recommendations for every scenario.

    Size 20 Regular Length (5.6mm prong) is often used for lightweight to mid-weight fabric that isn't prone to tearing including baby diapers, menstrual pads, bibs, regular clothing, and household projects. This is the most popular size of plastic snaps and is a good size to start with for most projects since most commonly used fabric fall within the desired thickness for this length. This size has a strong grip so if you're working with more delicate fabric at risk of tearing, consider size 16.

In the United States, snap fasteners are sized in several ways. One is simply the diameter in fractions of an inch. Another is the same system used for buttons, that is, the diameter in lignes (40 lignes = 1 inch). A third system uses defined size numbers. more

In most of the world, snap fasteners are sized by their diameter in millimeters, in increments of whole millimeters. Fasteners from 6 mm to 19 mm are commonly available, and 30 mm are made. here

Snaps from different manufacturers are unlikely to work together, even though they are the same size. more

Yes, these are the snaps I need and they are available at quite a few places. Some places offer just a single size, some sell different sizes. My wild guess would be to measure the diameter of the barrel and go from there if nobody has an exact answer.
Thanks. here
