What to look for in a nappy bin 

  1. Odour containment 
    When it comes to nappy bins, nothing is more important than odour control. Look for bins with effective sealing mechanisms and odour-trapping features to keep unpleasant smells at bay. Reading reviews from fellow parents can provide valuable insights into a bin's odour-containment capabilities. 
  2. Ease of use 
    With multiple nappy changes throughout the day, choosing a nappy bin that is easy to use is essential. Opt for bins with one-hand operation and a medium-sized opening for convenience without compromising on effectiveness. Avoid overly complex designs that make changing liners a hassle. 
     
  3. Size
    Select a bin that can comfortably accommodate a day's worth of nappies without becoming overly bulky. While larger bins may seem appealing for their capacity, consider the potential for increased odours with prolonged storage. Compact designs offer space-saving solutions ideal for smaller nurseries. 
     
  4. Cost efficiency
    The cheapest bins upfront can sometimes work out to be the most expensive over time… it’s all about the long-term costs associated with refill liners or cassettes. Some bins are only compatible with their own expensive liners or cassettes, so look for bins compatible with standard supermarket liners can lead to significant cost savings over time. Not only can you keep things simple buy simply using the liners you already use for your kitchen bin, but you could go the lavender scented or compostable route. It’s nice to have the option. 
     
  5. Child-proof features 
    For parents of toddlers, choosing a nappy bin with child-proof features is essential. Look for bins with secure locking mechanisms to prevent curious little hands from accessing the contents. It’s one thing you don’t want them to get curious about! 
     
  6. Eco-friendliness 
    With increasing awareness of environmental impact, most young families are eager to reduce their waste and leave a better planet for their children to inherit. Even if your bin is not made from recyclable/ recycled materials, many are still compatible with biodegradable liners or cloth nappies to reduce your carbon footprint.
