Ellyn,
I'm an occasional cloth diaper user, myself and have been for years. I have also had the same frustrations with diaper pins. They poke, don't fit thick overnight diapers, puncture plastic or rubber pants, come un-secured or even break.
No luck with velcro, snaps or other diaper fasterners, either.
In the past ten years or so, I've adapted the use of net-like fabric 'fixing' pants, very stretchy and snug, to hold even a heavy diaper in place. The fixing pants are pull on and very light, so launder well and add no bulk. I can stuff a cloth diaper or two into these and then add a diaper cover (vinyl pants) over and all is secure. Lycra 'bicycle' shorts can serve as a possible second choice here. With these, changes are quicker because there is no more fussing with pins.
At one time, there were latex (very stretchy) rubber pants that could hold a wet cloth diaper in place very well, but I've not found those available in a long time (except from questionable fetish sources).
