Yup, great memories there. I still have a jar of those pins and use them to thread elastic thru casings. Rubber pants - I remember them too. My daughter is using cloth diapers and oh man have things changed. We couldn't even find rubber pants, diaper pins or those blue liners I use to use inside their diapers. The current system is mind boggling to me - so many snaps and thick liners and a fancy spray apparatus on the toilet itself. Crazy how the old system was in place for so many, many years and now, well things have changed! But you know - babies haven't! Thanks for the great memory reminder!

Yes, diaper pins. For awhile I had two in diapers, and that was certainly fun! The duck pins were my favorite. My 2 year old would watch me change the baby's "di-ber" as he called it, and decided he could change his own. At that point I decided if he could change his own diaper, he could use training pants, and the potty chair. He was trained in less than a week!

I had a diaper service for a long while with my kids and pins were the only thing I provided myself. I would have a string of diaper pins attached to my shirt because you never knew when you would need one and the same on the diaper bag. I would still use cloth diapers over disposable any day! Here's to diaper pins. Oh yeah my girls are 44 and 45.

I was given pink diaper pins with some hand me down pink sleepers when my oldest son was born. We weren’t wealthy so I was grateful for them. My husband’s colleague was appalled that I would put my son in pink.
