Ubbi Steel Odor Locking Nappy Disposal Bin, No Special Bag Required Money Saving, Awards-Winning, Modern Design Registry Must-Have Diaper Pail, White

Product Information

Nappy bins are designed to keep smells contained but they will emit an odour when you open them for emptying. It’s truly amazing that such small babies can produce so much mess. Newborns need changing as frequently as 10 or 12 times a day, while older babies need to be changed at least six to eight times a day – although there are always exceptions to every rule. During our research, we assessed and weighed up each individual product, vetting the design, safety, odour control, capacity and overall function and performance to ensure they performed well across the board and offered true value for money.

Hailed as “the can of steel”, achieving maximum odour control is the main focus of the Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail, which it certainly succeeds in. The unique sliding lid and cleverly placed rubber seals keeps air movement and disruption to a minimum, keeping the odour inside the pail rather than out.The Angelcare Nappy Disposal System can hold up to 38 newborn nappies, which helps reduce the trips you have to make to your outside bin. It also uses a 7-layer film refill, which is hygienic and proven to keep odours trapped inside. Thus, helping you to keep germs and smells at bay. We just use a normal lidded bin. Yes it smells when you open the lid to put a nappy in, but that only lasts a few minutes and TBH the room smells when a toddler has just pooed in it, regardless of how the nappy is disposed of." (Recommended by Mumsnet user BertieBotts) Our verdict Nappy bins for disposable nappies are designed to store used nappies until you have enough for a wash. Most state the number of nappies they hold, but this usually refers to size 1 nappies – the newborn size – which means that, as your baby grows, your nappy bin will hold less. With newborns going through up to twelve nappies a day, a hygienic nappy disposal system is essential whether you use disposable nappies or cloth nappies, as soiled cloth nappies still need to be stored hygienically while they wait to be washed. Some users recommend zipped bags that you can put straight into the washing machine, rather than a nappy bin. They particularly like ones with a hook.

You can store a good amount of dirty nappies, which eliminates the amount of trips to the outside bin needed to dispose of them. Little to no maintenance is required for them, just the need to replace the refill cassettes from time-to-time. With its one hand operation, dirty nappies are simply pushed through the clamp opening where they will automatically “disappear”, never to be seen or smelled again. The multi layer bags with Air Seal technology keeps the mess well contained and it’s easy and hygienic to remove for disposal. If you’re looking for a more compact, space-saver bin then it's worth remembering that it won't have as large a capacity, so you may want to weigh up whether space or capacity is more of a requirement. And remember that the capacity normally covers size 1 nappies, so the bin and liners will hold fewer nappies (and need changing more often) when you start using larger sizes. How do nappy bins work?If you’re using reusable nappies, then somewhere to store the dirty ones until you have enough for a wash is essential.

There’s no shortage of nappy bins in Australia. But with so many brands and models to choose from with each having its unique features, benefits, and disadvantages, it can get pretty darn tough to make up your mind. So to help you out and make sure you’ll only get your money’s worth, here’s everything you need to know about nappy bins. What to Look for When Buying a Nappy Bin Granted, the initial outlay is a bit more than the cost of some of the other nappy bins we recommend, such as the Angelcare Nappy Disposal System (below). However, you don’t need to buy pricey replacement refills - you can just use standard bin bags. It’s made from sturdy stainless steel which makes it great at stopping whiffy odours from escaping - although it won’t be as efficient at odour zapping when compared to a specialist nappy bin such as the Angelcare. Another point to consider is that this bin will last you longer than a traditional nappy bin. When it’s finished its stint as a nappy bin, you can repurpose it as a stylish kitchen bin. When compiling our lists of recommendations, our team of experienced parenting journalists spend hours analysing every single product category, using a variety of independent sources to evaluate products against each other and assess which ones perform best. We then consolidated these results with the opinions of our huge network of Mumsnet forum users, which is the biggest online network of parents in the UK. Why you should trust us It arrived already assembled and in beautiful condition. We got the stainless option because we will likely use for many years with multiple different children.Refilling the disposal system is also very simple and is just a matter of removing and dropping a new one straight in. I think in general it’s still a nice diaper pail. It holds up well but the condensation within the pail is problem (and adds to the issue I think). However I’ll still buy another. I would rather deal with steel than plastic parts any day of the week. Many of the modern nappy bins today have special features, including self-sealing systems or twisting mechanisms that can individually wrap a nappy to trap odours. While this is nice and adds more convenience to users, it is not necessary. If you’re looking to save money, buy nappy bins that don’t require special plastic bags. But if you want more convenience and don’t mind the additional price, then nappy bins with special “cassettes” or plastic bags will be a great choice as well.

It is true that you could just use a regular trash can. However, you will probably find that you are constantly holding your nose, or taking your trash out a lot more often. You may not need a diaper bin while your baby is still eating liquid foods, but when it starts eating solids – that’s when things really begin to smell. How Do Nappy Bins Work Eliminate the need for buying lots of separate bags to bag soiled nappies all up to save money and be more environmentally friendly.Unlike most other nappy disposal units which are made of plastic , the Ubbi bin is made of powder coated steel for the highest level of hygiene. The advantage of this is that plastic is a porous surface which can absorb odours and bacteria, whilst steel does not. Steel is also incredibly easy to clean and maintain - simply wipe down occasionally with a damp cloth. Setting one up is a very simple and can be done in a matter of seconds, so no special no-how is required, and you should be able to have one up and functioning straight out of the box. Some models simply use regular kitchen trash bags, which are considerably cheaper. Many models also have side-opening access doors, to make removing full diaper bags much easier. How to Choose the Best Nappy Bin Another key benefit of a nappy bin is that it reduces the amount of time you have to go out to your dustbin. Since it can hold around 20 or even more than 50 nappies at a time, you can save a few minutes every day by only having to make the trip to your outside bin once instead of, say, 10 or 15 times. Depending on the size, you will only need to empty your nappy bin once every 3 to 4 days. This is incredibly beneficial for those living in an apartment building, flat, or those who have to climb several flights of stairs just to reach their bins. This also means you don’t have to leave your baby as often or have to go out to your bin on a dark, rainy, and cold evening.
