Stapling
- Stapling is also forbidden. [4]
==Diaper

Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 16:6 is lenient because it isn’t not even considered temporary. 39 Melachot (Rabbi Ribiat; pg 813) permits since the tabs are made to be used that way.

- ↑ Korban Netanel (Shabbat perek klal gadol 7:50) forbids using a safety pin on Shabbat by putting the safety pin through a cloth. However, the achronim including Sh”t Igrot Moshe 2:84, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 15:70, and Kitzur Hilchot Shabbat (pg 67) permit because the pin doesn’t connect the two objects but rather keeps them close together like buttons.
- ↑ 39 Melachot (Rabbi Ribiat pg 818), Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 15:74 permit. Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 3:51 is strict unless it’s temporary (within 24 hours?). Rav Shechter (quoted by Rabbi Rosner) is strict for this opinion and doesn’t zipper his Shabbat talit bag because of this.
