Dirus Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hello.. For the last couple of years I have been using cloth diapers. Mainly at home after work and for night time use. I have been using velcro and pull ons. Through experimentation, I found that the pull ons really dont work that well. The velcro ones work well with boosters. So I figured I would try the pins and flat folded diapers. I always turned away from these thinking they may be a hassle. Now I going to give them a try. I ordered some leakmaster night time flat folded diapers. Anyone choose pin on diapers over all the others? and if so why? thanks a bunch. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Absolutely. Velcro quits after awhile. I've also tried the JK snap on but they are not fine adjustable. Pin-on diapers have not survived for over 70 year for no reason Link to comment
froggy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I do like the convenience and easy fit of velcro closing diapers. The prior post is correct that velcro eventually just does not hold as well. Then, I supplement the velcro with pins. I like the velcro because they are more stealthy to metal detectors. froggy Link to comment
CDLover Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Pins have not been a problem. When not in use, I pin them in a bar of soap. CDL Link to comment
missyD Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I love the convenience of vecros, not just at changing time, but if my diaper has stretched it is nice to quickly reach inside and snug things up. I haven't found that deterioration of the velcro has been much of a problem, but I do always make sure to secure the keepers properly before washing. Having said all that, I ususally use my pins at night - i prefer my good old fashioned curity square, pinned tightly in place. They are far more comfortable against my skin, and I can use as many as I need. They also dry much more easily than thick, formed diapers. But, I do find they droop if I am at active during the day. So, I love my velcros and I love my good ole fashioned pins.! Link to comment

I tried velcro type fasteners but they became problematic in the laundering process. Link to comment
willnotwill Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've got a few dozen pinnable diapers. A few I bought but most my wife made after I raided just about every fabric store in the area for the diaper fabric. I like pins, but I've of late changed to snappis. Link to comment
full nappy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i use pins all the time when using my terries. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We have had Vecro since 1957 that I know of. You would think after all these years, we could get it so that it does not become that problem Link to comment
Eir Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have a set of pin on cloth diapers, but it is always a bit awkward pinning it on youself! Link to comment
BabyJune Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I've only used pin-ons because I make my own diapers and waterproof pants. My reason? It's the closest thing to what I grew up (didn't really grow up, but people think I did) wearing. Link to comment
softndry Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Pin on cloth diapers are the only type I wear, that is what I was brought up using and just never tried anything else as that works great for me as can make the diapers the right tightness with the pins. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 My faves, though I wear disposables (usually pull-ups) during the daytime because they are more discreet. Part of why I love cloth pin-ons is that it takes a bit of time to put them on just right, and I'm worth at least that much fussing over Being wet is nice, but only cloth diapers let you feel it so completely, and they're also the only thing that works well for side-sleepers who wet heavily like me. And with cloth diapers you can't run out of diapers when you're broke for the week. Bettypooh 1 Link to comment

I have enough diapers to last three days but I wash them every two days. The best thing with cloth is you can add all the layers you need to make them last until your next diaper change. I will normally change three times a day but if going some place like Disneyland for the day, I can just add a few layers and last at 12 hours without leaking. Link to comment
Eir Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think my parents may have used disposables, but in the cartoons diapers were cloth...maybe that effected my preference? Link to comment
babystevie Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I wear both, but my preference is pinned on cloth & plastic panties. That's what I'm wearing right now. Link to comment
