Disposable nappy bins

I've got one very similar to the Diaper Dekor and found it really handy when we were in disposables full time. We still use it now for Kaleb's nappy liners, tissues and occasional wipes/disposables. We have only just opened up our second refill for it so hasn't been too expensive. I have friends who found the sangenic ones expensive so used ordinary plastic bags in them.
You could get away with just a lidded rubbish bin to be honest.

its a good idea to look at how expensive the refills will be. i have heard both good and bad things about nappy bins. i myself used to use those scented nappy bags and had a pedal bin in my wash house and i never had bad smells wafting.

I think they're a waste of money. I used to throw wet nappies in the kitchen bin (big pedal bin) and then dirty ones straight into the outside bin.

If you flush the poo in the toilet first, they aren't so stinky

The problem I have with them is that it's even more rubbish going to landfill. Do you really need to individually wrap each nappy in a plastic bag??? I do the same as meow when we use disposables - wet ones in the kitchen pedal bin & poopy ones in outside bin.

I'll sell my one for $40 to someone, it has a partial refill in it (which I can check to see how full if you PM me) if they are interested.
Brand new Sangenic, used for about 3 months. I will sterilize it before I send.

I had a sangenic and loved it. I have a different brand one here (its upstairs and I can't be bothered going up there to check!) but its just as good. Its great because it means I can pop them in there and only have to empty it once a week- no smells. The one I have here uses biodegradable plasic refills- I figure I would have to change our rubbish bin more so would use more rubbish bag liners if I was putting them in there, plus more scented plastic bags to put them in first so when it comes to waste its 6 of one...

Some people love them so they're worth it for them, and others think they're a waste of money. They're one of those annoying things (like change tables and baby baths) that you don't know if you will use them unless you actually have one and try it out!

Peace wrote: Possibly the biggest waste of money ever. I got given the Sangenic one as a gift from Hubby's work and it is utter bollocks. Sink your money into a pedal bin and some scented bangs, it will be a crap load cheaper, less smellier and you wont have to eff about with the lid and carting the inner bag about (which unfurls as you remove it).

Same here I found it competely useless and ended up selling it for trademe.I just brought the odourless bags you can get from the supermarket it still does the same thing for a lot less money.

If you plonk the poos in the loo you get very little smell. bf poos don't really smell and if you get a real stinker then an individual bag for that one keeps the smell in until the kitchen bin is emptied.
