snap buttons

Click-shut clothing fasteners

Snap buttons are fasteners consisting of two interlocking discs that join with a pressing motion and separate when pulled apart.

The satisfying click distinguishes them from other closures.

Found on clothing, bags, and upholstery: The baby's onesie has snap buttons for easy diaper changes.

Also called snaps, press studs, or poppers (British).
