how do you dispose of

your disposables, especially when you are at someone else's house?
I use cloth so obviously take them home, I suppose I find it strange that others don't take their disposables home, they always want to leave them at my place. I also find it strange that they don't 'empty' dirty nappies into the loo before they bundle them up and throw them out. And the thing that gets to me the most is that they put them in people's kitchen rubbish bin, wouldn't that be like me putting used toilet paper in there? Personally I find it really unhygenic. Once when the il's were visiting with my nephew I found they had left a dirty nappy on my kitchen bench! And they used to use their kitchen table as a change table!

I don't mean to offend/upset anyone, but I just can't understand it. Maybe I am the one with the problem since so many people seem to do it

I can't say where I leave my nappies, since I don't have a bum to change yet, but... On your kitchen bench?! That is foul

When I'm using throw-aways I take a couple of magic blue bags with me and seal the used ones up and put them back in my handbag until I get to the car, where they get tranferred into my car's junk bag, which goes straight in the bin when I get home.

maybe it's just the people I know or am related to that put them in the kitchen bin then!

When I was using sposies in the early days (legs too skinny for the cloth we had), if we were out I would always ask first (as to whether I could ditch it and where) and thus avoid any problems - I had those blue bags too so if it was a no go for leaving it behind, I'd bag it and take it home.

As for emptying the contents out, I'm assuming we are talking about the poo of babies who are eating and not breastfed-only baby poo

When we're out and about, I take them home. They go straight into the kitchen bin in nice blue smelly bags that dont let the poo smell out :D We dont have an outside bin, It all goes into the bin by my washing machine (which is in the back of the kitchen) and then the bag is emptied every 2nd day.. reminds me, rubbish night tonight! I dont think theres anything wrong with putting them in the bin in there as long as they're in a bag to get rid of odours and the bin is emptied frequently.

We have the rule that people take them home.

We use cloth nappies but most of our friends are using sposies. I figure that i don't leave stinky nappies at their houses so why should I deal with their stinky nappies at mine - especially when we don't have our own to deal with in that respect!

And most people that use disposables don't flush poos in the toilet i think. I have only met one that does in all my time - even though the packs do actually recommend it

I don't have a problem with people putting sposies in my bin (which is in my kitchen), they are normally wrapped up and the bin has a lid on it and is emptied frequently. If a kid has done a real stinky one then most of my friends would automatically go stick it in the wheelie bin outside instead, I wouldn't expect them to take a really foul nappy home with them with them stinking out their nappy bag and car, that is even grosser and unnecessary when we have a bin right here.
If I use sposies when out I mostly take them home, cos I have the wet bag with me for the cloth ones so it's not hassle to parcel up a sposie and take it home, but sometimes if I'm somewhere where they also use sposies I will just ask if I can chuck it in their bin.

I'm guilty of not always emptying out sposies as well, Spencer mostly does ones that I have to rinse off the cloth nappies so no way would I get them off the sposies, but if it is a rolly offy then I tip it in the loo.

i never empty E's nappies..partly cause he always has soft nappies adn always has but also cause i just don't really.. habit i guess..never did it at work and changed a million there so guess i got in the habit?

I always ask at someone else's house..and the doctor nearly made me take it home.. but yeah i would much rather they put it in our nappy bin and leave it at my house than travel all the way home with that smell in their car:(

When my friend stayed with her baby she used nappy bags, and asked me if it was ok to put them in the bin first, of course it was ok that's what the rubbish bin is for, I'd be more disgusted in her having to carry a days worth of nappies home in the car for 8 hours yuck .

That's revolting Mrs_B, there's a reason why the toilet and the kitchen are at least 2 doors away from each other, changing nappies should be anywhere near where you eat.
