Morning all. Can anyone recommend a bin they use for hygienically disposing of incontinence pants?

Caring for a family member with a learning disability, I just bagged every pad individually and tied a knot and dropped it into the household waste bin outside. If you phone your local council you’ll hopefully find that you will be entitled to a weekly uplift of your household bin instead of the usual 3 weekly cycle. It’s classed as a “medical uplift” and anyone with incontinence pads, used catheter bags, dressings etc is eligible.

Thanks @Jitterybugs. We are really looking for something that my mum can manage from within the bathroom rather like a nappy bin.

Thanks for the tip about non frequency.

We were given yellow sacks to put the pads in and the council (?) came and collected it every week we just left it on the doorstep. If you contact you local council you could always just put the yellow sack in a kind of normal bin and just put it out every week maybe?

Use a nappy bin. Much cheaper than the pad ones and work exactly the same. We like the Tommy Tippie one
