FAQs
Are these pins safe for babies?
Yes, the plastic safety head is designed to cover the sharp pin point once locked, making them safe for use on nappies. Always ensure the pin is properly secured.
How many pins are in a box?
Each box contains 144 pink nappy pins.
Can I use these for sewing projects?
While they can physically fasten fabric, they are specifically designed for nappy security. Their size and locking mechanism may not be ideal for delicate or detailed sewing tasks.
What material are the pins made of?
The pins are made of metal, and the locking heads are made of plastic.
How do I ensure the pin is locked?
Push the sharp end of the pin firmly into the plastic head until you feel or hear a click. This indicates the safety lock is engaged.
What is the benefit of the pink color?
The bright pink color makes the pins easy to locate when needed and adds a visual distinction.
Troubleshooting
Pin does not lock securely
Ensure the pin is fully pushed into the plastic head until it clicks or snaps shut. Check the plastic head for any damage that might prevent a secure closure.
Pin appears rusty
Wipe the pin with a clean, dry cloth. If rust is superficial, it may still be usable. For heavier rust, consider replacement to avoid staining fabrics. Ensure proper dry storage.
Plastic head is cracked or broken
Discontinue use immediately and replace the pin. A damaged head compromises the safety lock and can expose the sharp pin.
