Diaper Pins

Hey just wondering if anybody has a preference for what kind of diaper pins they use on they're cloth diaper/nappy? Do you have a favorite color, or type?

I have some large pink locking pins I like the most, but I like all kinds and colors.

I love the real baby diaper pins with the little animals like duck chicken bears ect. but found that they are really too small so I built a plastic melting "gismo" and a few molds and a way to push molten plastic into the mold and made my own 3 inch diaper pins,

I like the ducky pins too ,but find them in any of the stores here. Diaper pins are getting hard to find period!

I mostly use 3 inch pins with blue locking heads and weave them in and out a couple of times.

Luvs It, where did you get yours?

I'm not really sure where I got these JonJon? 😳 I'd love to find more, because they're just like the small baby diaper pins with locking metal heads. I have some others I bought on ebay some time ago, only they have plastic heads. I don't think I ever bought any from Cosyndry, I might have though, aren't they the ones with the plastic heads?

One quick note, fabric stores usually have large metal pins for sale, and they are pretty cheap. No colors, just silver metal color, but same as small diaper pins!

The Adult Cloth Diaper Company has the pins with metal heads. They come in pink and blue. 😄

Yea Luvs It cosyndry has 3 inch pins with white, pink, and blue plastic locking heads

Yeah, I know the ones you mean JonJon, and I know Cosy N Dry. I have ones like those they sell, I bought them on ebay I think, might have been cosyndry too???

I prefer diaper pins with pink heads-- also like yellow and

white. I like the large metal pins - Nickle/stainless- for

thick prefolds-- I've found that recently diaper pins are getting harder to find in stores especially the pink ones!

I don't know why-- maybe it's some kind of gender neutral

thing. Thankfully, pink headed pins - metal and plastic are

still available from most places online that sell coth diapers.

Just some info for others who wear cloth diapers. 😃

The best adult sized diaper pins I've seen come from angelfluff.com. They are not much bigger than regular diaper pins, but they seem to hold better. Only drawback is that they don't have the cute animals, etc on the ends. They do have a plastic cover like regular ones. Angelfluff also has good plastic pants for a good price.

I think the ones at Angelfluff are Dritz Diaper Pins. They are the best made I believe. They come in colors, have locking heads, and some come with a bend in them for easy pining. If you want to shop around, I think you can get them as cheap as .75 cents per. Just put Dritz diaper pins, in at google. You'll get lots of places that sell them, the bent ones are a bit harder to find, but there around. You can also find them at fabric stores, but just the regular kind, no colors or locking heads. They will have much larger type pins in the fabric stores though!

I bought a pack of regular diaper pins at a local retailer (Babies-R-Us). They last for years and have very sharp points so tye don't tear the cloth. I think the oversized pins rip the diaper and cause premature failure. The ones I have are stainless with white plastic heads, but since I'm a DL not an AB, the "cuteness" isn't as important.

I also have a pair with baby chicks that were included with a diaper years ago.

If you keep your pins stuck in a bar of soap it helps with them passing into the fabric easier.

I have a collection of diaper pins more a gerber with the animal heads, I have one set from when I was a really a baby and my wife got me some dritz diaper pins with locking heads. The work okay but can be a real pain to get the diaper off in the morning. 😃

Does anyone know of a site where i could buy some x-large adult strength diaper pins?all I can find in the baby sections of department stores,are too weak & too small.

Check out www.adultclothdiaper.com. They have both the plastic headed pins and larger, more industrial sized steel headed pins.

Yer Friend N' Foe... the Pinned Up Mo!

I'm guessing you have fabric stores down under? Because you might try looking in there, they have large safety pins. They are just silver, no colors but they are big!!! You might find them in bigger stories too, look in the sewing department. If you have a Target store, try there.

Also on line, Cosy N Dry http://www.cosyndry.com/ they have big baby pins, in colors! They're in the UK.

These are baby size, but good pins, have a look http://www.softclothbunz.com/Diapering-Accessories_c_4.html

Or just do a google search for Dritz Diaper Pins. They are top notch pins. Again they are baby diaper size, but work very well none the less.

Luvs It is right about the Dritz pins . I ordered 3" pins form them and they got to my door in like 3 or 4 days. They are much thicker then regular diaper pins which also has it's problems. It is tough to put them through multiple layers of cloth and they aren't as sharp as diaper pins so I used my honing stone to point them up proper ( honing stone - used to sharpen knives ) That worked well. Oh yah , they were really cheep too... I think like $.50 per pin.

I gave up on diaper pins years ago, they were hard to force through the cloth (even when coated with soap) and ended up often in the wrong place. They tore the cloth too. So I got some Tena mesh pants from Babykins and use these and a onesie to hold the diaper in place - works fine.

I most certainly dodo like them to show, And yes to the locking type pins because you never know when you might get mugged and they try to steal your diapers. Truth with a little humor add in.

I have a huge collection of diaper pins and I am always adding to them. I like the diaper pins to show and will change the diaper pins (color) so they stand out. This is also because the print of my diaper shows thru the plastic pants too. No need for nursery print plastic pants.

Very much like diaper pins visible thru plastic pants and have so many variation of diaper pins get to change the look all the time with different color pins and various shaped pin heads have collected over the years. have never used locking pins though.

I normally wear a cloth pull up diaper, but when in a pinned on one, I definitely like to see the pins thru my plastic panties. I have a large collection of pins. Whenever I see them, I buy them!

Have abunch of diffrent kinds duckies baby blue pink yellow white and yes teddy bears on few. but my plastic panties are heavy duty and you can see thru em but the nursery print is just addorable to look at 😁

Oh yes I love my pins and have several pairs. I love my teddy beat one and my Mickey Mouse and the rabbit ones. Have different colors but mostly white, yellow, and blue. The trick to keeping then sharp is to sharpen them using different sand paper and taking off the burrs that occur. Dritz makes a good diaper pin that has a sliding locking head and you can find them at fabric stores most of the time.

I like semi clear plastic pants that just possible to see my pins and nappy luv the look of my wet nappy in the morning

bring back the memories of my shameful youth!

Sometimes I like to see the pins through my rubber pants, but usually no. I use the locking diaper pins.

For years I used my kids old nappy pins that my wife used for them. Now I have got just plain metal adult baby pins.

I have a few pairs of the 3" adult size pins and I do like to see them prominently in front through the plastic pants. Does anyone make pins larger tham 3"? I think they would be cool, like Baby Huey comics.

I have little turtle diaper pins , as well as the stanless adult size. love to be able to see them trough my plastic pants.
