There are some things you’ll be doing a lot of in those early months, and changing your baby’s nappy is one of them. Having a nappy disposal bin close to your change station keeps the process easier and cleaner. And if you pick the right one, less smelly too.
The Ubbi Nappy Pail is a go-to for many parents. Made from powder-coated steel instead of plastic, it locks in odours so your nursery stays fresh. Prefer something that blends in your baby’s nursery? Then the Aster Nappy Bin by Babyrest is a solid option. It opens with one hand, so you can keep the other on your baby and features an odour-stop system with a protective seal that blocks smells.

FAQs
How do nappy disposal bins control odours?
Odours are kept in check through clever design. Both the Ubbi and Aster bins seal tight to stop smells from escaping. The Ubbi uses non-porous steel, while the Aster features a built-in odour-stop system with a protective seal that holds even when the bin is open.
What size nappies fit in nappy disposal bins?
Standard newborn and infant nappies fit easily into both the Ubbi and Aster bins. They’re made to suit the volume and size of nappies used in the early stages of parenting.
How many nappies can a disposal bin hold?
The Ubbi Nappy Pail holds up to 55 newborn nappies, so you won’t be emptying it constantly. Meanwhile, the Aster Nappy Bin holds about 25 per bag, and it comes with one roll included to get you started.
Are nappy disposal bins compatible with all refill bags?
Yes, both nappy disposal bins are compatible with their own branded liners, but you can also use standard ones if you prefer. It’s handy if you’re looking to use what you’ve already got at home.
Do nappy disposal bins require batteries to operate?
No batteries needed. These bins are manual, which means fewer parts to worry about and nothing to replace later.
How often should I empty a nappy disposal bin?
It depends on how often you’re changing nappies. On average, you’ll likely be emptying the bin every few days. Once it’s full, just remove the liner or bag and pop in a fresh one.
Are there eco-friendly options for nappy disposal bins?
Yes, and not just the bins. Both Ubbi and Aster offer eco-conscious refill bags made from recycled materials, and we also stock biodegradable bags made from GMO-free cornstarch for those who prefer a more sustainable choice.
Can I use regular plastic bags with nappy disposal bins?
You can. While branded liners make things a bit neater, standard bin bags fit too, giving you more flexibility with what you use.
Are nappy disposal bins easy to clean?
Of course! Though it’s best to avoid liquids inside the bin. The Ubbi should be wiped down with a dry cloth only to prevent mould or rust, and the Aster can be cleaned with minimal fuss since the surface stays relatively contained.
Do nappy disposal bins come with child-lock features?
The Ubbi has a built-in child safety lock to keep tiny hands out. While the Aster doesn’t have a lock, its lid design and operation make it harder for kids to access.
