Sangenic Nappy Wrapper

[fairydust]

friendsis due to have a baby soon and we're thinking of getting them a sangenic nappy wrapper - as they live in a flat and i know she'll hate having to keep going down several flights of stairs to the bin outside.

So do they smell or do the wrappers stop that.
Am i wasting my money.

Any info on them apreciated as we didn't bother with one for our dd.

Love mine - don't find it smelly at all. Got it half price (£14) at Tesco.

Btw - I have the world's sharpest sense of smell

I received one as a present and it was an absolute Godsend. Used it continually for 2.5 years. No problem with the smell either although I used to put a little dish of bicarb of soda in the bottom of the bin which absorbed any smell. Brilliant product.

I have found it to be fab, no really bad smells and very convenient..........really great product

wow! blast from the past. the sangenic nappy wrapper actually has it's own little chapter in the mumsnet book!

we like ours. keeps the smell in but once you open it.... whhhhhhhoooooeeee, the smell hits you like a brick wall!

empty it very frequently!

I think they are great as well. but like someone else here I try to put some bicarb of soda in when cleaning it out, to keep the smells at bay.
But I thnk they are a great gadget. Especially if your friend lives in a flat.

I used ours for 5 1/2 years - am just about to chuck it out since dd now potty trained. Also my mother emptied it last week - and threw away the whole of the inside including a hardly used cassette and the plastic ring thing.
I thought it was great and didn't think it smelled!

Oooh! I've just bought one of those for my baby whos due in August. Thought it was a fabulous concept! Bought mine from Mothercare who have a half price offer on at the moment!!

Re: the smell issue, I suppose I should add that dd is only 10 weeks and breastfed - once she's on solids I guess it could start to smell

I do find it very useful (have been using it for 3.5 years-now onto our second child). Unfortunately have lost 2 of the clips as they (all) fall off into the bin and we used to invert it into a binbag when emptying it and threw them away before we realise what was happening, so now have to check each time its emptied.

Sorry to be clueless, but the bags for these - how fast do they biodegrade? I know that most standard nappy sacks can up to double the time it takes for the nappy to biodegrade, which means that nappy you just dumped my still linger around for up to 100 years.
