When compiling our lists of recommendations, our team of experienced parenting journalists spend hours analysing every single product category, using a variety of independent sources to evaluate products against each other and assess which ones perform best. We then consolidated these results with the opinions of our huge network of Mumsnet forum users, which is the biggest online network of parents in the UK. Why you should trust us 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 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? 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. 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?Air-seal™: The multi-layer film technology in the cassette provides effective odour-barrier, for a more fragrant home 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?
