Im down to my last one. They're simple, not too fancy or girly.

Superdrug? Primark?

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 25/06/2017 12:51

I haven't seen one in years. I use all manner of clips.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 25/06/2017 12:52

Tesco have some odd bits in their superstores - more than some other places.

SoENFJ · 25/06/2017 12:52

Tried boots, primark, claires, every local chemist!
Do they have a name? I could l9ok on etsy if i knew the name of this style of clip

SoENFJ · 25/06/2017 14:47

Yes, so do I keep searching for them! I can only find those annoying springy ones. Last time I saw them was in a Morrisons in Chippenham about 3 years ago Sad

LeannePerrins · 25/06/2017 15:52

Here you go. Boots. One matte, one shiny.

Asmoto · 25/06/2017 15:57

Leanne I bought those Boots ones and they turned out to be spring clips Sad. If you look at the top of the image you can actually just see the push-in bits to release the sprung clip.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 25/06/2017 15:58

Sainsbury's and Superdrug have had similar recently.

HelenRose1111 · 25/06/2017 16:22

RedSandYellowSand · 25/06/2017 16:24

My local supermarket, which won't help as its 3000miles away.
These are the brand I use goody barrettes

ShovingLeopard · 25/06/2017 16:25

I knew what type of clip it would be before I opened the thread! I've been searching for them for ages too.

SoENFJ · 25/06/2017 21:58

I just bought two packs of these, £14! well, 3p shy but they were what I wanted. I panic about losing the one I have! I had looked on amazon already but I didn't find them because I didn't know 'goody' made them. Thank you Flowers

£14 for 6 very simple clips may seem like a random thing to have made me feel so relieved but I wanted these parTICular clips!
