redneck diaper boy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have been wearing cloth diapers for most of my life. I have never had a problem finding 3 inch pins. Now I need some larger pins. Any Ideas? Link to comment
WetDad Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Blanket pins which can be found at many fabric stores or feed stores. Horse people use them to pin wool blankets onto their horses. Link to comment

square_duck Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think baby-pants has some larger pins. I am thinking of ordering some....then there is also Amazon.com that seems to have most anything anyone could want....Good luck! Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 <p>I found horse blanket pins on Ebay. These are larger in all proportions- not just length- which to me adds a lot of realism. You usually find these in a 4 - 5 inch length, sometimes brass plated and sometimes nickel plated. If you can find the smaller ones (3 1/2 - 4 inches) they are better as the longer ones may be so big that they dig in when you sit or bend over, and diapering is not supposed to be painful Another downside of these is that they were meant for woolen blankets so there is a blunt end, no sharp points here This does create extra wear on the cloth </p> <p> </p> <p>I think the ideal adult diaper pin size would fall between this and the usual smaller sized pins, plus it would be super if there were babyish heads available It seems that with adult diapering there is always some kind of compromise involved with perfection always not quite there. This is one reason I sew my own cloth diapers as that way I can%2 Link to comment

I tried themj but their PayPal setup is so byzantine (a fancy way of saying "convoluted") that I got lost in the shuffle about 4 times and gave up. why they do not use a standard PayPal checkout, I am clueless on Klendathu and that bugged me so much I gave up after the 4th time Link to comment
messyman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have some of the big one from babypants and I do't find them really useful. Link to comment
redneck diaper boy Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 One of my newest diapers is really thick and the 3 inch pins are hard to use. 4 or even 5 inch pins would be nice. Link to comment
Halsey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 toddler snappi's work the best Link to comment
dljim95 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The snappi's are great for thick diapers. They are all I use since I found them. Link to comment
Soggy Bottom Boy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have a couple pairs of the large locking head pins from Baby Pants. Link to comment
BabyJune Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Diapers would be more secure by simply using more pins to secure them. Longer pins don't adequately Link to comment
willnotwill Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I use regular baby diaper pins, sometimes two per side without problems. Actually of late, I've been using Snappis which are much easier. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 poopy_diaps, the pins I've seen were all blunt ended I wouldn't want to be kicked by a horse for sticking it with a sharp pin I remember these from childhood, my Dad having grown up on a farm. Until I started wearing cloth diapers they were just another gadget. Now they are what I use to replicate real baby diapering It's a proportion thing since everything is equally bigger now. With my Birdseye diapers it isn't tough getting the blunt pins in, but with flannel it's much tougher. I imagine that with the more open weave, gauze diapers would be easy to pin with these Link to comment
Fakename4me Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 One other thing to mention. Blanket/kilt pins are non locking. Link to comment
