what to do about so many smelly nappies

12 replies

I have 3 children in nappies. ds1 has sn a toddler and a baby. Our flat has a strange layout and the entrance is through the kitchen. The kitchen bin is buy the front door this is where we put the nappies. I have out a croc odour bin in the bin and every so often I'll put some shake n vac/ bin freshener in there. We open the window there and if I know someone is coming I will throw the bin in the outside bin and spray but sometimes there is a lingering smell of pooh. which isn't so nice when people come unexpectedly. I cant take every dirty nappy to the outside bin as I would like, as the nature of DS SN means he is a flight risk (so if I am in and out all day I risk forgetting to lock the door which would be dangerous). So what I need is a product/ idea so that my kitchen doesn't smell.

Do they really keep the smells in? I always thought they were a bit of a gimmick.

I rate the tommee tippee nappy bin too - there was a thread on this the other day where some people weren't so keen, but about half of the posters loved theirs too. Surely worth a go given the circumstances! Often on offer in mothercare too.

In answer to your question - they aren't perfect but yes, as long as you change them regularly (which of course you have to otherwise you couldn't fit anything in them!) I have found that it does.

are you tipping as much as you can down the loo? Or could you use liners (meant for reusables, but good for disposables too). Might be worth a try.

Yes, shake the poo down the loo. Disposable liners really help with this.

Firawla · 01/03/2011 19:22

yes they do keep the smell in, better than other brands imo. it's definitely worth it not a gimmick

Best thing I found was flushing it down the loo - I do that with the cats poo from the litter tray tood

We have a mothercare nappy bucket which is designed for wet soaking, but i put the disposables in it and the lid fits really tightly. I also drop the actual poo down the loo if poss.

I have this one and it's fine. As long as its emptied regularly it doesn't smell, I keep it in the DD's bedroom.

Well I bought the tommee tippee bin and it seems to be doing the trick so thanks very much.
