Sorry but you got ripped off. Those are not rare or expensive, everyone in the Navy owns probably 5-10 of those, we use them on our mesh laundry bags to keep them closed while they go through the ships laundry service.

Get some diaper pins, those things don't come undone unless it is deliberate. I've been using one of those bad boys for a good decade now with no stabbys.

I do this on my bike, attaching keys to my biking shoes like this isn't an option as they don't have laces...

u/Maymay4america · 4 pointsr/The_Donald

yes :) get one of those giant saftey pins

u/general-strike · 4 pointsr/findfashion

5 inch was as big as I could find... not sure the length of the one in the photo but it seems like it could be close.. https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Giant-Stainless-Steel-Safety/dp/B00CBVPFQA/

I have pretty ones I've picked up but these ones are the ones I most use. I like having different colors so I can mark as many things as I need to. There are also enough that it takes me awhile to lose them and the case is pretty convenient.

The cast members who will trade to you will (should) have a special tag at the end of their lanyard that says something to the effect of "Hey, I'll trade pins with you!"

Maybe someone has a picture of what I'm talking about?

Re: putting your pins on a backpack, I really like this idea! :D You can purchase lockable backs for your pins at any of the shops at WDW. I'm also relatively certain you can find them cheaper online.

Something like this although I can't guarantee -these- will work with Disney pins, the ones in the Disney shops definitely will.

If you use these locking backs, then you don't have to worry about them falling off of your backpack!

u/robododo · 3 pointsr/WaltDisneyWorld

Yeah, you gotta get the locking pin backs.

Something like this: Lapel Pin - Locking Pin Backs (Pin Keepers) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007IU94Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_O7IACb6VT39BZ

I've been watching some on Amazon deciding if I want one. They run about $7-10 a piece to buy one in various and sundry iterations (ovarian cancer and sexual assault survivors are also colored teal, so their items often overlap) or $1-1.50 to buy a pack of 40-50. It's good someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to raise TS awareness!

u/tikibyn · 2 pointsr/knitting

My knitters. I bought these metal bulb pins a while back. Never again will a not place a stitch marker. Stitch markers for everything. 1000 for less thank $7. Sure they're not huge and they're black, but I have light colored needles, so they show up just fine.

My suggestion would be to make a couple of locking diaper pins and use them to secure a onesie and/or a thin cloth diaper over your diaper.

This kind of XL clothes pin, often called a "blanket pin": DIY Locking Diaper Pin

And this kind of plumbing part (not sure what size, will try to edit later): https://www.amazon.com/LASCO-17-6069-Compression-Sleeves-2-Piece/dp/B008E33Y1C/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1542430365&sr=1-5&keywords=copper+compression+fitting

The trick is to use pliers or a vice to squeeze the round compression sleeve into a narrow rectangle that slips tightly over the head of the pin. I wrecked a few compression rings figuring out my method. Thankfully I bought them at normal prices at the hardware store, not from the rip-off price from the Amazon link!

u/thicklypadded · 2 pointsr/GirlsInDiapers

Look up how to fold a cloth diaper and you can get pretty thick pretty easily. I have used bath towels and throw-sized fleece blankets to fold very thick diaper covers. You'll need some large safety pins, usually sold to pin back draperies or skirts, and maybe some plastic pants if thats your thing.

u/SilentKnight333 · 2 pointsr/lgbt

Some safety pins are actually quite large if you're worried about making sure people can see them.

u/SoriAryl · 2 pointsr/AirForce

These might help: https://www.amazon.com/Lapel-Pin-Locking-Backs-Keepers/dp/B007IU94Z2

I've used them to secure my Nephew's Disney Pins while at Disneyland

u/Graphikuh · 2 pointsr/WaltDisneyWorld

You can get them at the parks, or if you want to get some beforehand they have them on Amazon. Here are some: http://www.amazon.com/Lapel-Pin-Locking-Backs-Keepers/dp/B007IU94Z2

They also sell the official Disney ones on Amazon, although they are more expensive.

u/Magjua · 2 pointsr/rawdenim

I would say they are worth it, lost my Taylor Swift pin with a normal back. You can also get some with a screw.

Safety pins to hold the throw i usually have around me, around me while i work. Lol all my typing and moving usually makes it slide off my shoulders, safety pins would fix that XD

u/brinazee · 1 pointr/quilting

I use size 1 (just over an inch in length). I use safety pin grips ( https://www.amazon.com/Paula-Jean-Creations-108PJC-Quilters/dp/B0018N7BN2 ) to add some visibility, so I like the shorter length to keep down the extra bulk.

u/toxic-miasma · 1 pointr/crochet

I love the "calabash" aka "gourd" style of safety pin for this! They're small and have a rounded end that won't catch on anything.

u/Thisgingerknits · 1 pointr/knitting

I got this set of stitch markers off Amazon. They are great for the price!

I even saw there were some cheaper ones on there too

u/midnightpictureshow · 1 pointr/DisneyPinSwap

I honestly think you're shilling these all wrong because you're missing the whole point. You keep downplaying that they are magnetic but thats the main selling point of the product.

There are plenty of options for locking pin backs out there (those are three different links), and these screw-on types are actually reviled by many for warping the studs on the back of pins, or leaving dents on it.

Again, the ability to turn pins into magnets is absolutely brilliant. Locking pin backs is not new territory.
