These pins are great. Very sturdy and have the safety closure. Quick delivery too!

Just adding more of these to the collection! I just bought some new socks! You'll see what I mean. I already purchased a set of 12 of these Sassy Deco Diaper Pins. I also bought 6 more of a different design Deco Diaper Pins 6-pack. A while back, I found that these are very beautifully colored and/or decorated, much nicer in person than in the picture. These probably are also some of the strongest and most well-made pins I have owned. So, I've been buying more to replace some of the cheaper ones I've picked up over the years. A few decades ago, I was living in a residence for a summer which had a housekeeper who took care of dinner, cleaning, and laundry. In explaining the rules of the residence, one of them was unlike any I have ever heard before. The housekeeper made it clear, "I don't sort socks! If you want them sorted, pin them together with Safety (Diaper) Pins." So, in the next few days, I bought a bunch of these at the local supermarket and did as I was told. I found that pinning them at the bottom of the heel area made them easy to fold and put away. These are sometimes hard to come by these days. Yes, I still use them! And, it's been over 25 years since I started. I never stopped pinning my socks together after I left the residence that year and assumed responsibility for doing my own wash once again. First of all, in all this time, I have never lost a sock! I might have lost a pair, but I never kept track of them that closely. I also learned something new that summer. I do not like to sort socks either! With this new knowledge, I was not going to go back to old ways. That would be quite stupid. What I thought might have been a cranky complaint, was actually a mouthful of wisdom. I still have most of the pins I bought that summer. Every now and then I restock. Occasionally, I lose a pin or the plastic breaks for some reason or another. These, however, are constructed for the safety of babies. They are stainless steel and do not rust. When they close, they lock in a way that they must be deliberately opened. They are strong and can last through several decades of weekly washings. If you do the wash for a family, you can assign different colors (like these fancy ones) or one color like Stainless Steel Traditional Safety Pin or use Cloth Diaper Assorted Safety Pins) to each person so that you never have to figure out who belongs to which socks (another trick of the housekeeper). They are also a bargain when you consider the price. You may not see another review for these like this. But, I thought I would share the wealth by sharing the wisdom of that summer's housekeeper. I'm sure there are more than two of us in this world who have not liked sorting socks!

Worked great! No problems

These are sturdy but can pop open if you're not careful. I thought I was buying ones with the snap-down safety cover. I don't know if they even make those any longer.

They (OsoCozy) are sharp, stainless steel and the closure is a secure, thick, hard plastic.

Nice and big, easy to unlock and lock, and are strong enough to depend on. No doubt great for diapering (not available in the mid-70's, unfortunately. My use is different - use these when backpacking or traveling. These large safety pins are useful for hanging washed-in-sink laundry, even hanging socks to dry or other items from one's pack while hiking. The ease of use due to the larger plastic head compared to a standard metal head makes these a good value.

Worked great

It's a safety pin what can I say. It works!
