THESE CLOTHESPINS ARE BETTER THAN MOST YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE. THEY ARE SLIGHTLY LONGER AND WILL HOLD YOUR LAUNDRY BETTER ON WINDY DAYS , THAN ALL THE OTHER CLOTHESPINS OUT THERE. ALSO WORK BETTER THAN ANY ON JEANS, BLANKETS, AND HEAVIER PIECES OF LAUNDRY. I BOUGHT FOUR AND AM BACK FOR FOUR MORE PACKAGES JUST TO KEEP ON HAND. THIS SIZE AND QUALITY ARE HARD TO FIND, TRUST ME .
