Need Source for sturdy Diaper Pins

Hello,
I am looking for a source of for sturdy diaper pins. It seems that they have
gone into hiding. I can find flimsy safety pins, but what I am looking for
is the pins that we used to buy with the plastic heads.

I think Gerber still makes them; I bought some in the last couple of years
as baby shower gifts (I think all babies should have a couple of cloth
diapers ready, just in case they get a nasty diaper rash and need to wear
cloth for a few days). Where are you shopping?

Yep, Gerber does still make them. I have a 3 month old who uses them.

I've not seen the traditional nappy pins lately, I use something
like a bandage gripper called a Happi Snappi (or something similar)
on my sons cloth nappies. He only goes in disposables if we go out.

BTW he's now 4 weeks & 1 day old and pics are available on our
web-site, further pics are viewable by adding /joshua to the end
of the link to our web-site in sig. below.

I evidently am not shopping in the right place. I have checked Walmart and
have had no luck. I have not checked Target or the other stores. Where did
you purchase the Gerber that you speak of?

How about stores like Babies R Us, or Baby Depot (inside Burlington Coat
Factories)? Just a thought.

I've gotten them at Toys R Us, because most of the people who've had showers
here are registered there.

Are you looking in the baby department? I've seen them in lots of places,
including supermarkets.

None of my three ever wore plastic diapers, except when we were traveling. I
loved cloth diapers for them, which is good, since they were all allergic to
the other kind! Diaper service is the best thing ever devised to help new moms,
in my opinion.

BTW I never considered buying nappy pins, I got a different type of thing
to hold the nappies closed/on.

Are they those little clips? They're so much better than the big pins. Our
diaper service had them, and I bought several sets--the first time we stuck a
defenseless babe! I consider them a brilliant invention.

And had completely forgotten that we'd used them! My youngest, after all, will
be 16 in a couple of weeks!

They're a T shaped stretchy rubber thing with plastic hook things at the end of
each T, sort of looks like a bandage clip, that hooks into the terry pile of the
cloth nappy. The top of the T is a lot longer than the bottom piece. I think
they're called a Happi Snappi.
