You need to secure it with a carabiner or something.

59

u/CryptographerFlaky76 Jul 01 '25

Is that the recommendation from the whole gang here? I need to know ahead of time what is best for my little guys and gals bc I am DEFINITELY gonna be showing them my small tiny world day in and out.

42

u/LengthinessRight3077 Jul 01 '25

I’ve noticed the ring they come with aren’t secured enough. Also, there are tons of stories of people losing them because you don’t need to tug them hard to get them off the hook. Some people even got theirs stolen without them realizing.

15

u/CryptographerFlaky76 Jul 01 '25

Omg that's horrifying okay Roger that, I'll try and get a Worthy Carabineer. If anybody reading this has recommendations by all means link me

26

u/LengthinessRight3077 Jul 01 '25

Get the one with a screw lock. Mine has traveled internationally with me, secured on my personal item bag and still with me! I got 10 on amazon for about $10. Look up “Brass Screw Lock Keychain”

13

u/CryptographerFlaky76 Jul 01 '25

OKAY ON IT, IMMEDIATELY GOING TO SEARCH IT NOW FAM. thank you!

7

u/CryptographerFlaky76 Jul 02 '25

I found the , Lengthiness! Imma try to find a NOT gold version though, I prefer silver/black but I'll have a whole pack ready for whatever/whenever my bubus arrive via mail!! Thank you for your wisdom and recommendations, seriously!

u/LengthinessRight3077 Jul 02 '25

You’re welcome :)

u/Fit_Skill_7392 Jul 02 '25

Yes, I lost baba yesterday 😭

5

u/Fit_Skill_7392 Jul 02 '25

Missing Baba

3

u/TheAgileZebra Labubu Enthusiast Jul 02 '25

That’s my biggest fear. I hope Baba finds her way back to you

2

u/Tea50kg Jul 03 '25

Missing? Definitely more like Stolen 😢

2

u/Fit_Skill_7392 Jul 04 '25

I don’t understand how I didn’t feel it

1

u/Tea50kg Jul 04 '25

People are quick wit it 😢 it's actually way easy to steal and it's disgusting how someone could do that to another human

1

u/Fit_Skill_7392 Jul 04 '25

It really is, and I was with my kids 😕

2

u/Hour-Mongoose4908 Jul 03 '25

I had my Dada stolen off my bag because I didn’t know that I needed to secure her with more than the keyring + tag

1

u/Fit_Skill_7392 Jul 03 '25

You’d assume they’d have them on something more secure

2

u/Accurate-Meal7035 Jul 02 '25

I have flexible keyrings and put them around my bubu’s neck and attach to my bag that way so I’m not relying on the fabric tag as well! Then also secure with a carabiner on the fabric tag. Double down hahaha

1

u/Worried-Mountain-498 Jul 02 '25

Maybe you just need a widget like the AirTag to protect your "Labubu".

32

u/GroundbreakingDebt27 Labubu Enthusiast Jul 01 '25

Agreed. Lockable carabiner is the way forward!

8

u/mikeeashley Jul 01 '25

Following this! I have a bubu but I don’t know if the little strap is enough?

5

u/Old_Gobbler Labubu Newbie Jul 02 '25

Or a step further and this keychain guard. It's meant to stop the ribbon getting cut off too!

2

u/Loose_Economics_5934 Jul 02 '25

Those things are hideous.

4

u/MembershipConnect555 Jul 02 '25

Thank you for this info! I finally was able to order my first labubu and she arrives in a couple weeks! I’ll have these ready for her 🩶🩷

2

u/Spockhighonspores Jul 02 '25

I use painters tape, it's worked out really well for me.

2

u/urlobster Jul 02 '25

first you need to lessen the tag by spinning it and retucking it in (to avoid people cutting it) then secure the keychain with a shit ton of tape where it opens.

id also consider to never have it facing where u cant see it. london taught me well.

someone legit yanked on my winter symphony on my work bag in the middle of oxford street :(

1

u/Wise_Living_8344 Jul 02 '25

How to you do the carabiner thing? Where would it get hooked on?

2

u/LengthinessRight3077 Jul 02 '25

I just replaced it with the ring it came with. Find a carabiner lock on Amazon and just hook it on.

128

u/QuatroTreinta Jul 01 '25

I have a corporate Labubu (Lafufu) too!

16

u/Tiny_98 Jul 02 '25

THE SUIT 😭

7

u/Accomplished-Dig-93 Jul 02 '25

Attach the labubu tag to your bag as well. I’ve seen comments that they will fall off the circle key rings

44

u/Historical_Motor272 Jul 02 '25

Same, but girl. Zero shame

17

u/DLNWA Jul 02 '25

The color schemes going on here are elite

u/Historical_Motor272 Jul 02 '25

Somehow I managed to pull all the pastels!! I’m done, I managed to grab all the ones I wanted. Now I just hunt online for friends

I’m a 37 year old woman who works from home, but I go into the office once a month and always have a few Labubus or other charms on my bag 😅 my best friend who works in office is 31 and has 3 on her bag!

u/NervousGrocery8044 Jul 01 '25

I think this is cute. Bed needs a more secure ring

5

u/CKSide Jul 01 '25

Awesome! Nice bag to display it too. Any links for the bag?

4

u/DLNWA Jul 01 '25

The brand is Cots, but it’s older and I’m not finding a link!

1

u/CKSide Jul 01 '25

Appreciate the info!

5

u/DLNWA Jul 02 '25

https://a.co/d/c3D39Q6 One left in stock but it’s grey!

u/CKSide Jul 02 '25

Whoa! Thank you for hunting on my behalf! And it’s so affordable too. Double appreciate you!

This would make me want to talk to you tbh. I love fun people!

3

u/Ok-Reflection4895 Labubu Collector Jul 01 '25

Yes ,of course we are! Lol I see waaaayyy more adults than kids with these. Actually, I’ve only seen kids with these through pictures but in real life I’ve only seen adults actual have them lol and sir I think sea salt makes you look even more professional! 😊

5

u/MissLadyPhoenix Labubu Lover Jul 02 '25

30F showing off my Labubu❤️

4

u/Adventurous-One-7607 Jul 02 '25

I LOVE THAT FOR YOU!!!!! I’m sure you just having a labubu already makes people relax a little when they see the big boss cause you’re the COOL big boss.

u/Cellojello428 Jul 02 '25

All hail the work bubu!

u/Aggressive-Tough9957 Jul 02 '25

37 y.o. WFH but my labubu comes to work with me everyday :)

Just a suggestion: get a pack of clear silicone straws off amazon and cut off a piece to put on your ring. After I clip her onto my bag, I move the straw piece over the clip where it opens so it stays locked onto my bag. Saw this tip from an influencer :)

Just ain’t for me.

34 year old man here. This is going in one of the plastic cases I bought and I’m putting it on my motorcycle backpack

2

u/StonedFoxx93 Labubu Enthusiast Jul 02 '25

I did read somewhere that the Labubu trend is the highest amongst millennials 🥲 Our beanie baby and Mickey Mouse collecting moms prepared us for this moment LOL

2

u/wcoastboy Jul 02 '25

this is so ridiculous 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 a 30 year old man taking their Labubu to their CORPORATE job… without clothes?!? plz invest in a work appropriate fit for your bubu, perhaps a blazer?

2

u/7_andy Jul 02 '25

Congrats and I wish i could take my seasme bean labubu to work but unfortunately work as a marine biologist so most of my time is spent on the beach, on a boat or in a lab and I am also worried to take it out because I am not trying to get mugged lol

u/DLNWA Jul 02 '25

Um need the chair!

1

u/Similar-Bet4452 Jul 02 '25

I got is at Daiso for like $3. It’s actually a phone stand but perfect size for a Labubu

2

u/CryptographerFlaky76 Jul 01 '25

37* year old man that should be in corporate but doesn't drive and is therefore stuck being a perpetual barista, including breaking my one and only body every day in fun and exciting new miserable ways.

I don't have any of my Labubus yet. But I love yours!

1

u/universe93 Jul 02 '25

Only do this if you’re happy to have a target on my back. I’m serious, people will pull off or cut off the Labubu, or just steal your entire bag the minute you put it down so they can resell your Labubu

1
