What do you do with disposable nappies before they reach the wheelie bin?

[IWipeArses]

We part time cloth. Cloth is easy, scrape poo into loo, put nappy in bucket til full then wash.
Disposables, easy, convenient etc. - but do you take each nappy straight to the bin?? do you stick them in the normal bin? Collect them separately til there's a bagful then take them out?

I have organisational issues, no detail is too trivial enough to not trip me up.

I've always used disposable nappies but try to scrape as much as possible into the loo. Then into a nappybag and then by the front door ready to go out. Nappies full of wee go in the kitchen bin. I can't stand the thought of pooey nappies lurking in my kitchen though.

I seem to be quite good at rolling up nappies to contain wipes and any lingering poo into a tidy 'ball'.

Real stinkers would go straight outside though!

Poo nappies go in nappy bags. Wee ones I roll up. Then chuck them down stairs. Put straight into the wheelie bin outside the from door as soon as I go downstairs. I used to have one of those special nappy bins but it picking stank. It's in the loft for ebaying!

Picking!? fucking

Yes roll them up with wipes inside and close with the flaps to a tight ball.
Then into the bin, or if you prefer into a biodegradable nappy sac before the bin. We had waxed paper ones, for sandwiches which worked well.

We trained our dcs to poo into their old nappy and we would shake it into the loo. Then their fresh nappy would last ages. (Regular bowels, even as a babies).

It's such a terrible thing to think of all those nappies in landfill though isn't it? Well done on using the cloth ones. Apparently it takes between 250 and 500 years for a disposable nappy to degrade, well after the great-grandchildren of your baby are long gone!

Can i recommend you don't wrap up the big morning wet ones and lob them down the stairs for you to put in the bin when you get down there. Those ones explode. Words of wisdom from nevergoogle.

Into a dedicated bin, then outside at the end of the day. Real stinkers go straight outside. I have to say, I never understood people who said about scraping the nappies into the loo until I had DS2 who produces nice set formed poo that rolls off the nappy. DS1 was always the texture of, erm, bolognese? Sloppy. With lumps. No amount of shaking and scraping would remove more than about 10% of it, in fact more would probably have ended up on the walls or the floor...

Oh yes, nevergoogle. Like waterbombs .

Poo ones get taken straight out to the bin, wee ones get chucked by the back door to be taken out when I have a minute. Both types in nappy bags.

pascha both my DDs are like your DS2. Having changed a few nappies for my friends' children I know that I'm lucky.

I also chuck nappies down the stairs. .. but very gently.

Oh and never ever put a disposable nappy in the washing machine by accident. It took hours to clean when I did!!

Wrapped in tight ball. Poo nappies also go into a nappy bag. Then into the kitchen bin.

We live in a top floor flat - no outside wheelie bin, no lift, quite a long walk to the outside bins just for one nappy! Never had a smelly bin from nappies. Bin gets taken out regularly (every couple of days at least).

Ta muchly, food for thought.

we only use disposibles at night. scrape the poo and put them in the bathroom bin until full then it goes down. the bin smells when we open it but not unless.

Wee ones get rolled up and put in kitchen bin.

Poo ones get put outside the back door in a nappy sack if I am rushing, or straight to the wheelie bin.

Into nappy bag, then hung on front door handle so next person remembers going out remembers to put in wheelie bin on way past.

Pooey ones in a bag and straight outside. Wet ones in a bin liner in a good metal bin in the bathroom.

Pooey ones go into a napybag and straight into the outside bin. Others go into the nappybin and it goes out once a week when the binmen come.
