🧷 The safety pins

LacariaRicami safety-pin diaper pins with a safety closure are made from durable stainless steel with a colored plastic head. Each pack contains 4 55mm pins, the ideal size for traditional flat, prefold and muslin cloth diapers. The double-lock system with a sliding protective cap prevents accidental opening, protecting fingers during everyday use.

Available in four pastel colors (white, pink, light blue, yellow), these pins are designed for anyone looking for a safe, practical diaper-changing accessory, as well as for baby sewing projects such as bibs, aprons and accessories for newborns. The slightly curved shape follows the body's contours for improved comfort and fit.

🔒 Double-lock system: why it's safer

The protective plastic cap is what sets these pins apart. Unlike traditional safety pins, the double-lock system requires two movements to open the pin: first lift the cap upwards, then remove the point from its slot. This mechanism prevents a child from accidentally opening the pin, greatly reducing the risk of pricks during diaper changes or movement.

The plastic head also protects an adult's fingers when opening and closing the pin. To close it, simply slide the cap down until you hear it click into place. The system is intuitive even for first-time users, and works perfectly with one hand—often a necessity during diaper changes.

📏 Size and material: 55mm stainless steel

The 55mm size (5.5cm) is the standard for baby safety pins. This length is sufficient to pass through multiple layers of fabric in traditional flat or prefold cloth diapers without being too long or bulky. The fine stainless-steel point passes easily through fabric without damaging the fibers—an essential feature when working with delicate materials such as muslin, gauze or organic cotton.

Stainless steel resists corrosion, even after numerous machine washes at up to 60°C. Unlike nickel-plated metal pins, stainless steel is hypoallergenic and does not release substances that could irritate a newborn's sensitive skin. Its smooth, even surface helps the shaft glide through the fabric, making the pin easier to fasten.

👶 Cloth diapers: their main use

Safety pins are the traditional accessory for fastening foldable cloth diapers. With traditional flat, prefold and muslin systems, the fabric is folded using specific techniques and then secured with pins before covering it with a waterproof diaper cover. This method, used by our grandmothers, has made a comeback with the spread of eco-friendly diapers and is the most affordable and versatile alternative to snap or hook-and-loop systems.

With 4 pins, you can manage 2 complete changes, keeping one clean spare pair ready while the other is in the washing machine. The pins can be washed with diapers at 60°C without losing functionality. Many cloth-diapering families prefer pins to Snappis (rubber fasteners) because they hold more securely on heavy fabrics such as bamboo terry or hemp, and don't deteriorate over time like rubber.

✨ Why choose LacariaRicami safety pins

Unlike traditional unguarded safety pins, the double-lock system addresses the main concern: the fear of pricking yourself or a child opening the pin. Many parents give up on foldable cloth diapers for precisely this reason, but safety pins virtually eliminate the risk. The protective cap makes all the difference between an accessory you use anxiously and one you can use with confidence.

The 4-piece pack is an ideal way to get started with cloth diapers without spending too much. You can try the system, see if it works for you, and buy more packs if needed. The pastel colors let you match the pins to the diaper or assign them to different times of day (e.g. white for daytime, light blue for nighttime).

🎨 What you can make

In addition to cloth diapers, safety pins are useful for a wide range of baby sewing projects and newborn accessories. Use them to fasten adjustable bibs, feeding aprons, DIY baby carriers and stroller blankets. They're also useful for holding fabric in place while sewing by hand or machine, in place of regular pins when a stronger hold is needed.

👩‍🍼 Who they're for

These pins are suitable for both beginners and experienced cloth-diaper users. If you're just starting with eco-friendly diapers, the double-lock system helps you get comfortable using them without worry. If you're already experienced, you'll appreciate the quality of the stainless steel and its durability. The slightly curved shape makes the pins easy to insert, even if you're not very dexterous.

They're mainly purchased by parents who choose cloth diapers for environmental or financial reasons, as well as by seamstresses and hobbyists who work with baby fabrics. Many grandmothers buy them to help daughters or daughters-in-law who have chosen cloth diapers, rediscovering a familiar accessory with the added safety of a modern protective cap.
