With 5000 nappy changes between birth and potty training, you need to consider your options for nappy disposal.
Nappy Changing Bags/Sacks
Usually purchased in packs of 50 or 100. Each time you change a nappy you put the dirty nappy in a bag, tie a knot and then dispose of it, usually in an outside bin.
Advantages:
- Easy to use without the need for instructions
- Compact and portable for travelling
Disadvantages: - Not odour free
- Involves numerous individual trips back and forth to an outside bin
Nappy Bucket / Bin / Pail
There are a wide variety of these products available, which differ in terms of size, colour, shape etc. They are used for either the storage and soaking of re-usable nappies or for storing disposable nappies in nappy sacks.
Advantages:
- Hold approx. 2 days worth of nappies, so avoids going to the outside bin each time.
- Have a handle for easy carrying
Disadvantages: - Not odour free
- Not hygienic unless used only to hold nappies already wrapped in nappy sacks.
- Can be easily opened by toddlers
Nappy Disposal Systems
The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper individually wraps each nappy, locking in the germs and smells in a specially formulated anti-bacterial and fragranced film by means of a patented ‘twist and seal’ mechanism.
