 Topic: Sangenic Nappy Wrapper
Posted: 28 July 2008 at 1:53pm |
|
I've been told these are great and I had only heard of Sangenic prior to shopping. Are they worth getting and is Sangenic the best? I've also seen Dekkor and maybe another brand, any opinions?
Thanks!

Well... I don't like disposables as it is, and please don't be offended, but they take long enough to break down at a landfill as it is - using a nappy wrapper doubles that time - from 100+ years to double that... YUCK! Just my 2c.

Firstly let me say that I am well aware of the environemental impact of disposables, and wrapping these also. However, I have a very poo-phobic DH and we made the decision to get a sangenic bin to help with this problem. Guilt aside - I LOVE IT....no tramping through the house to the wheely bin out the back, no smells, nice and easy. Wouldnt be without it now!
To ease my conscious we have made some efforts to do other things to limit household waste, recycle etc.
ETA - the refills can get pricey though, they are about $19 a pop and I think a cartridge lasts us about 3 weeks...depending on how many poo-ey nappies we have. At the moment we are getting 3 - 4 really grotty ones a day!!

We used one in the first few weeks because we don't have an outside bin to put nappies in and a weeks worth of nappies sitting around inside can get a bit much  But we found that the refils just made the whole thing way too expensive. They didn't even last us a week but that was with lots of yucky newborn nappies every day.

Same a Bizzy is what we did. I actually find that those bins really stink anyway.

I love ours and wouldn't be without it. You can buy the refills in packs of 3 and they work out at around $15 each, or stock up on them when Farmers have their 30% off sales and they go down in price to around $12. If you spray a bit of Febreeze in them each time you empty them then they don't smell.

I have a normal 20l bin with biodeg liner and I have no problems....if I had many poo nappies I emptied the bin often (really NB dont really smell) but as DD got older and Poo's started to smell I just got rid of the poo (toilet) and then wrapped the nappy well and again made sure I emptied the bin often...so I never had a "Smell problem".
I thought about getting this but decided why fix what is not broken?? LOL

Thanks - that is great. I couldn't find the thread.
Good to have opinions for and against.

totally hated it! Threw it out the second day home from hospital and replaced it with a normal pedal bin.

We started off with a Sangenic, ended up selling it on TM shortly after my boy was born ....the refills were costing me an arm and a leg (an unnecessary expensive IMHO) and so darn fiddly and when it came time to remove them all from the bin - talk about total puke moment. I absolutely CRINGED having to do it.
Much better just to buy this little fragranced nappy sacks/bags in the groceries and chuck the soiled nappy in there and chuck in your normal rubbish.

Like Faith, I plan to use the scented bags and chuck them in the normal rubbish.
My friends in Australia (we saw them recently, they have a 7month old) said the nappy bins were a complete waste of money.
