Using diaper pins is no longer a required aspect of diapering.  However, many people have found pinning to be a simple and yet safe way to get a snug-fitting prefold. The secured prefold can then be used under a cover or alone on those warm summer days outside.

About the Pins:  

Sharp pins are safer pins.  Dritz diaper pins are the best diaper pins available for use, today. Dritz diaper pins are equipped with locking metal heads.  Slide the head up to allow pin to disengage.  Slide the head back down to lock the pin and keep it from accidentally disengaging. 

Tips and Tricks: 

A well oiled pin slides much easier into diaper fabric.  Glide your pins through your hair near the scalp before pinning to give it some natural oils.  

When pinning always keep the pin pointing parallel to your baby.  In mathematical terms keep the diaper pin at tangent to the circle of your baby's waist.  This will make it basically impossible for you to accidentally catch your baby.
