Hello! I have another question...


I cannot find any threads on this so could anyone share their opinion on nappy tubs such as Sangenic etc...? Worth having or is it just another gadget one can go without...? I have under 6 weeks left before baby E&K is due and this is one of the things i just cannot decide on.


Thanks in advance ;)

found ours useful at first but think we got rid of it after 6 weeks. We just use nappy sacks and a normal bin - and were we to have another one wouldn't bother with the nappy disposal systems. Although I believe they are pretty much free as you get a voucher for one in the newborn Bounty set you get given at the hospital?? If that is the case you may as well get one....sorry not much help!! In the main I would say stick to nappy sacks and a bin!!!
I got a second-hand one a few weeks ago from the forum. Before we had a small bin which would get filled up each day and need emptying which was a bit of a chore. We have a sangenic one now and it can store about a weeks worth of nappies which is great (my daughter is 5 months so a newborn would prob produce more nappies!. It definitely keeps the smell inside but then it is worse when you have to empty a weeks worth of nappies because when you do open it, it smells really bad!! I am happy we have ours purely because it saves constant trips to the bin and my flat doesn't smell of wee (or worse!) but it isn't a must have by any means. A decent sized bin with a lid and nappy sacks would do just as well!

Similar to jennyh.


We have the angelcare system and find it very useful - it keeps the smells locked in (even if we left the lid open for several hours) and saves emptying out the bin several times a week (or even day, depending on how old your baby is and how frequently they poo). Our doesn't smell at all when we empty it but I don't know if that's to do with the type of bin or our baby's poo (although the latter can be pretty stinky)!


By no means a must have but very useful if you live in a flat or if it's pain to get to your wheelie bin on a regular basis.

I never wanted one - but it wasn't too onerous for me to put nappies straight in to the outside bin, I appreciate that that's different if you live in a flat or have mobility issues. By the way, if you line the nappies with a disposable nappy liner and flush that away after each pooey change then the whole thing of having nappies in the wheelie bin becomes a lot less unpleasant.
I can see the benefit of having one if you live in a flat, but we just use nappy bags and put them straight outside in the big bin (poor bin men). I know they are hygienic and all but I'm not sure i'd like the thought of having that much poo (sorry TMI) inside the home, locked away and smell-free or not :)

Wow! Thanks Mums...;O


Ok, so we'll try to go without, to begin with then, see if we can bear the "sweet" smell of my newborn's poop! Having up to 28 nappies in one bin(this is the amount of nb size nappies that apparently can be stored) is rather overwhelming so with Ryedalema on this one AND can only imagine the eyes watering whiff whilst emptying it as Jennyh mentioned...


I shall report back in a few weeks time if all goes to plan.


Thank you all again ;)

We have one, and had one with our first too (had to change it because of the lingering whiff even after countless antibac cleans and 4 years!!).


My LO is just 10 months now, and after several trips to Sainsburys to find that they are still out of stock of the 3 packs (which at the moment are just slightly more expensive than a single wrapper) I've given up for a while and are using sainsburys basics nappy sacks at about 7p for 100! Much cheaper, and I'm just slinging them in the the sangenic bin, so it still holds the same number of nappies, and keeps the smell contained.


So maybe try it, (like someone said they are pretty much free as they make their money on the wrappers) and if you don't get on with it, you have a slimline, high capacity bin with lid!

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
