Running the business end of the pin through my hair at change-time was something I did back in the day when I used to babysit (teen years), cloth diapers and rubber pants were in vogue back then. Swore by it as a mom, too, especially when fastening bulky double diapers.

Yuppers, put all my kids through rubber pants. Yes to Gerber! Nothing beat the old Gerber's!

Gerber rubber pants were truly the only rubber pants I found that stood up to being laundered with the diapers, unlike cheaper brands which would rip, tear, and fall apart when subjected to the rigors of my old top-loading agitator washing machine.

Diapers and rubber pants were hung to dry on the clothesline.
