    Just think, once buried in a hole those used nappies will be around for many ore years to come, in fact the kids will have grown up & got married etc long before they rot away.

    Binfulls of them.

    Get em potty trained soonest, otherwise use cloth nappies.
    Such are the joys of parenthood :D

    Thats exactly what they are. A bin that wraps the nappy up, sealing it tight instead of needing individual nappy bags. They continue to wrap and compact nappy's inside the bin until the compartment is full, which is when you empty all the nappy's into main bin. It will save space, but might be worth looking for special offers or even freecycle/ebay as they are costly to begin with. You will also need to factor in cost of buying the refill cassettes.


    we had one years ago for our kids, all the stuff was packed up and put in the loft. A few years later, sorting the loft, found the nappy bin.....still full of nappies!! hats off to the bin, it didnt smell, but i didn't dare unwrap the bag, cos it looked really black and slimy in there.....lol. We got a larger wheelie bin from the council, just asked them and they gave us one. Ring them and tell them you can't manage on the size that you've got.
