Dritz Pins Price Question

[akrab]

Anyone know if $6.50 for 12 new dritz stainless steel metal locking head pins is a good price? that price includes shipping.... I have 2 Snappis but I just read you arent supposed to use them without a cover? and my ds goes coverless a lot... plus the Snappis seem harsh on my precious prefolds!

With shipping I do believe that's a good price. They have that little locking mechanism thing that Gerber pins don't have. What site is this?

yeah, I looked at a few other sites, that's a good price for 6 pair!

Looks like a good deal! I just bought some Dritz plastic ones from a mama here but if the plastic doesn't work I'll try those!

Huh? Where did you see that? We use snappis all the time without a cover....

And yeah, that is a great price for 12 pins... half of what I would charge you!

it is listed on all sites that include the instructions

WARNING:ALWAYS use a cover when using a Snappi® fastener on your baby’s diaper. Keep out of children’s reach when not in use! Do not use your Snappi® for longer than 6 months. Do not leave your Snappi® lying in the sun as it is not UV resistant and can reduce the effectiveness of the Snappi®.
CARE: Clean your Snappi® in hot soapy water. Do not launder them with diapers in the washer as this may weaken the grip attachment.
CAUTION: Any tear in the Snappi® can lead to separation of a piece, presenting a possible choking hazard. Inspect your Snappi® before each use and discontinue using immediately if there is any sign of cracking, tearing, breakage or wear of the teeth or any other parts. Do not cut your Snappi® as this may cause tearing.

Never mind... I see it says that on the snappi website. Interesting...

They will snag your (or your child's) skin if you aren't careful!! (Snappis, that is!)

I went ahead and grabbed the 6 sets of blue for $6.50... I hope I like them!
