This pin is a full three inches long. It is made of nickel plated steel. Mommy will love the colored plastic safety heads that prevent the pins from accidentally coming unfastened and they prevent little hands from removing their diapers. The plastic safety head can be moved slightly in or out, preventing the diaper pin from coming unfastened and sticking the baby. These pins are suitable for the thickest night diapers and babies over 75 pounds. In addition to being very functional the colorful plastic head makes these pins uniquely for baby. This pin is sharp but larger than those for small babies. To pin diapers with this size pin requires that you keep the pin at a low angle to the diaper and push it through with finesse. Keep one finger between the baby and the diaper to prevent poking the baby. You should only pin the outer diaper when double diapering and the thinner side panels in a prefold diaper. You can rub the pin across ivory baby soap or a trick that mothers from the 50's used was to pass it through their hair to provide a lubricant to assist in pinning the diapers. When done properly the pin should just slide in place without damaging the diaper. Another concern that most mothers know but it's worth repeating here is that diaper pins should be place sideways back to front as opposed to standing up pointing at the waist. Not only is it safer in the event of a pin coming unfastened but it's much more comfortable instead of sticking baby in the tummy when they sit. So if you have outgrown the small diaper pins but still wetting your pants or bed, mommy will need these to pin diapers on you. THESE ARE PRICED PER PAIR.

Each package contains two Fasteners. One white and one mint colored toddler 2 Snappi Diaper Fasteners.

Snappi® Fastener, an EASY to use fastener that offers a PRACTICAL and RELIABLE way to fasten a cloth diaper, replacing the diaper pin. It comes in a variety of colors and is made from a stretchable non-toxic material, which is T-shaped with grips on each end. These grips hook into the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting diaper with enough natural movement for the baby.

We have used these on a big baby who has a 34" waist. Though pretty much traditionalist and having always used cloth diapers with pins we've been won over by these fasteners. The advantages are that they provide an elastic fastening and are easy to apply. I'm sure you've all experienced sagging diapers especially when they get wet. The Snappi will eliminate the problem. These can even fit larger babies if the diapers are large enough. The trick is to allow the diapers to lap over far enough that the span for the Snappi isn't too great.
