Nappy Bins.........

[skyra13]

Are they worth the money or a waste of money?
I like the Tommee Tippee Sangenic Nappy Disposal but is it worth it?
what do you ladies use just the nappy bags ect...
Be good to find out peoples options?
Thanks :)

We have a sangenic by Tom mee tippee. It is great. With a new born you can fit around 20 nappies in it which means emptying every few days only. Really minimises the smell . Would not be without it for upstairs nappy changing.

Waste of money, IMO. They stink and are such a faff on. Nappy sacks and lidded bin, sorted.

I second Tommee tippee sanergenic, cuts out frequent bin changes & no smell

Our Sangenic is great. We live in an area that doesn't have wheely bins and just uses bin bags so the other solutions are not viable. I also find it grim to fling nappy bags out of the door/window. Is that what people do with other rubbish?

We used sangenic for the first 6 months probably and found it really useful and it didn't smell. Once ds had fewer nappy changes we just used the normal bin, otherwise the nappies in the sangenic would have been hanging around far too long...

We've been using a separate, small, lidded bin for nappies but as baby progressed to solids... even tying them up and removing them fairly quickly to the kitchen bin is unpleasant. We'd prefer not to individually bag nappies as that increases our plastic footprint so much. So we're looking at 'proper' nappy bins.

We've shortlisted to the Diaper Champ Regular and Chicco nappy bins. They're about the same price as each other. Both hold about 30 nappies (though I don't think I'd like to wait for any nappy bin to be that full before changing it!). Best of all, they use regular rubbish bags: no expensive refill cartridges to faff about restocking. We can use Swirl's recycled bin bags to reduce our plastic footprint.

Does anyone have experience of using both, please?

Which is better for:

• whiffy smell containment! (We don't expect 100%)
• ease of nappy insertion
• one handed use
• ease of bag change

Thanks in advance! :-)

I got given one as a gift with my second and it was such a waste of money.
Rather than put the stinking nappy in the bin you're putting it in a plastic box basically. I wanted the nappy far away from me

We got the angel care one for a fiver in mothercare.

Just get a small, normal pedal bin with bags that fit it well (ours is 5L) - then empty it once a day and wipe it inside with anti-bac wipes when you change the bag. Takes 3 mins. As long as you clean it once a day it shouldn't smell too bad, I really wouldn't waste money on specialist bins!

We were given a TT sangenic bin as a gift and ended up buying more to have one at every nappy changing station. If you're going to empty nappies to the outside bin daily, you don't really need one and can just individually bag stinkers. I can't be arsed with that. I never clean the inside of the sangenic bin because no mess gets on it. I do recommend lining the bin with a carrier bag (ideally the cheap ones with integrated handles) so that when it needs emptying the bagged nappies (or poo sausage as it's known in our house) are easy to get out and bin.

We didn't see the point in one really. Nappy in a nappy sack in the bin worked fine. Our bins are emptied regularly so
