   Hmmm bugger I was going to say red shed cos that's where mine was from (the Albany one), but that was 6 months ago now.  TBH we hardly use ours, most of our nappies just go straight into the washing machine after rinsing    (probably not very good for it!)
 JJ likes rolling it around the house though    |

   Warehouse has them, but maybe not every store, so might be worth checking out others if there's other stores that are close enough.  For example, we couldn't find them at Pakuranga but Botany had them    |

   I found our one at the warehouse. They should be able to get one in for you from another store.

   I got mine from Warehouse Nelson about a month ago.  But I'd also try Mitre10, Plastic Box. Payless Plastics, and maybe even Super Cheap Auto?

   I got a storage container with lid that clicks on IYGWIM from payless plastics. Bigger than a bucket, which is great, and because it's rectangular, i can just lift up one end and the other side stays attached.

   if its for dirty nappies you could try a flip top lid...  that what i had, so convenient to stand on the pedal, and the inside came out too.  i suppose that would only work tho if you didnt want it to soak stuff in..   |

   I've been a-searching too!! Thanks for posting!  I also wanted to find a wet bag that would store something like 10-15 diapers so I don't have to do washing everyday in order to put an end to the smell!  Anyone know a place that is reasonably cheap so that they keep the odor and wetness in?? |

   Niecey, lots of the online retailers have wetbags.  Try Mother's Instinct  - I have two of the 'Leslie's Boutique' wetbags for daycare and they're great, but the selection isn't huge any more.  The Planet Wise ones look great (and the large holds 16-17 nappies)!

   I wasn't ready to commit $40 (as I recall) to the large ones on that website and found babyharmony website which offered the large ones at $15 (hold around 15 I think it was) and now I see I grabbed the last large size one! I'll give my review on this somewhere someday. I agree, I soooo wanted to get the planetwise ones cuz they were pretty cool looking but this one is leopard so perhaps it won't be that bad. I just hope people won't think I've got a stinking dead leopard in my bathroom and that they work well in masking the odors. Thanks for the tip.
