FAQs

Each pin measures 56mm in length, which is the standard size for effectively securing traditional nappy folds.
Can these be washed with the nappies?
While durable, it is recommended to remove pins before placing nappies in the washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric or the machine drum.
How many pins are in a pack?
Each pack contains 6 Hemline Safety Nappy Pins.
What material is the head made of?
The heads are made of high-quality, durable plastic designed to securely house the locking mechanism.
Troubleshooting

Ensure that the fabric being pinned is not too thick; try gathering fewer folds of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pins are compatible with most standard cloth nappy fabrics, including cotton, flannel, and terry toweling. To maintain the integrity of the pins, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent oxidation. If the pins become dirty, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic locking heads. Always inspect the pins before every use to ensure the metal has not bent or become dull, which could make insertion difficult.
