Angelcare Nappy Disposal System Refill Cassettes - Pack of 3

Product Information

Up to 28 Days Use: A single cassette lasts on average up to 28 days! Please note that not all babies are the same and experiences may differ Some users recommend zipped bags that you can put straight into the washing machine, rather than a nappy bin. They particularly like ones with a hook. Convenient, Easy-To-Use Refill - All nappies are safely contained in the bin, and you won't have to touch or smell them ever again.

Nappy bins for disposable nappies are designed to store used nappies until you have enough for a wash. Most state the number of nappies they hold, but this usually refers to size 1 nappies – the newborn size – which means that, as your baby grows, your nappy bin will hold less. Long-Lasting - A single cassette lasts on average up to 1 month. Please note that all babies are unique and experiences may differ. Nappy bins are designed to keep smells contained but they will emit an odour when you open them for emptying.

How often should nappy bins be emptied?

Compatibility: All Angelcare cassettes are suitable for all Angelcare Nappy Disposal Systems and help to provide a convenient and hygienic way of disposing of dirty nappies Baby changing is a messy and thankless business, and Mumsnetters know from experience how much of a difference the right product can make. Whether it's the best changing bag to contain all your essentials, the best changing mat for easy clean-ups or saving your baby's bottom with the best nappy rash cream around, we've got you covered with our in-depth roundups based on authentic recommendations.

Environmental impact: Plastic nappy bins and refill bags have an environmental impact so, if this concerns you, you may prefer to use more eco-friendly reusable nappies and a washable wet bag. Less Plastic - Because nappies are not wrapped individually, our system uses up to 4 times less plastic than similar products.I had a Tommee Tippee one - loved it. It was so convenient. I suppose it depends on your house set-up and your bin set-up. It was a real pain to have to put nappies in our outside bin every time. The nappy bin kept them sealed and smell-free for several days.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Seeline) Our verdict If you’re looking for a more compact, space-saver bin then it's worth remembering that it won't have as large a capacity, so you may want to weigh up whether space or capacity is more of a requirement. And remember that the capacity normally covers size 1 nappies, so the bin and liners will hold fewer nappies (and need changing more often) when you start using larger sizes. How do nappy bins work? If you’re using reusable nappies, you’ll need to consider where you’re going to store them until wash day - a bin or wet bag designed for reusable nappies could be your answer. Many parents on our forums highly recommend nappy bins and we’ve rounded up their favourites to help you decide if you need one too. Sometimes, it’s good to think outside the box and just because you’re looking for a bin for nappies, that doesn’t mean you actually need a nappy bin. This 12-litre stainless steel pedal bin isn’t actually designed specifically for nappies but it’s a great value option, which will hold up to 25 nappies at any given time. Mumsnet users love the pedal on the Tramontina 12L Stainless Steel Pedal Bin as you can open it hands-free - useful if you’re also holding your baby.

Most nappy bins need liners or plastic bin bags. Put the nappy in, close the lid and it seals the nappy and smells. The Ubbi diaper bin is a godsend. Expensive initially, but then you can just use normal bin liners so much cheaper than the ones with special refills in the long run. We have one in our bedroom and there’s no smell at all, even with multiple dirty nappies sat in there for several days.” (Rated by Mumsnet user SparrowNest) Our verdict

Angelcare Nappy Disposal System Refill Cassettes (3 Pack) - Blue

We just use a normal lidded bin. Yes it smells when you open the lid to put a nappy in, but that only lasts a few minutes and TBH the room smells when a toddler has just pooed in it, regardless of how the nappy is disposed of." (Recommended by Mumsnet user BertieBotts) Our verdict Once your baby is eating more, instead of fairly inoffensive milky poos (whether breast- or bottle-fed), you might find the need to get the nappy out of the house ASAP. There will also be far fewer nappy changes by then too – from 12-plus when they are a newborn, down to around six a day. How long does a nappy bin refill last? Granted, the initial outlay is a bit more than the cost of some of the other nappy bins we recommend, such as the Angelcare Nappy Disposal System (below). However, you don’t need to buy pricey replacement refills - you can just use standard bin bags. It’s made from sturdy stainless steel which makes it great at stopping whiffy odours from escaping - although it won’t be as efficient at odour zapping when compared to a specialist nappy bin such as the Angelcare. Another point to consider is that this bin will last you longer than a traditional nappy bin. When it’s finished its stint as a nappy bin, you can repurpose it as a stylish kitchen bin. Materials like steel will eliminate odours better than plastic. Parents recommend adding drops of lavender or tea-tree oil after cleaning to keep smells away. We found that the Ubbi Steel Nappy Disposal Bin was the best nappy bin for minimising nasty odours. How often should nappy bins be emptied?

If you’re using reusable nappies, then somewhere to store the dirty ones until you have enough for a wash is essential. I use the Bambino Mio wet bags. Pricey but leak-proof and washable.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user FluffySavage) Our verdict Air-seal™: The multi-layer film technology in the cassette provides effective odour-barrier, for a more fragrant home Environmentally Friendly: As not all nappies are wrapped individually, the Angelcare Nappy Disposal System uses up to 4 times less plastic than other systems We lived in a tall thin terraced house when DC1 was a baby, it was a godsend to have one on the second floor rather than have to walk down two floors after changing a nappy. It didn't smell." (Recommend by Mumsnet user RandomTree ) Our verdict

It depends on which refill you're using and your baby's age (newborns go through more nappies than older babies). According to Tommee Tippee, the manufacturer of our top ranked nappy bin, each refill cassette should last around three to four weeks. How do I choose a nappy bin? If you’re using disposable nappies, then nappy bins are particularly useful if you live in a flat or an upside-down house, with the living area on the top floor, as it can be more difficult to get to an outside bin during middle-of-the-night nappy changes. What's the difference between a nappy bin and a normal bin? Easy-to-use Refill: All nappies in the nappy bin are safely contained and you’ll not have to touch or smell them ever again Nappy bins can range in size but, rather than focusing on the litre capacity, it's more useful to look at how many nappies each bin holds so you can judge the functionality better and will be able to estimate how often you’ll need to empty it. While the Ubbi Nappy Disposal Bin holds up to 50 nappies, most of the bins in our round-up will hold around 20 to 30 nappies.
