Are those special nappy bins (like Angelcare) worth it?
Hi ladies
I am hoping for some advice. We are trying to decide whether to buy a normal bin for our babies nursery or one of those nappy bins from Angelcare or Tommee Tipee... has anyone used them and is it worth it? the refill cassettes seem pricy so over time it all adds up!
Thanks!

however this bin has been a lifesaver for me as just after new year and around the time LO was born it was so snowy that binmen couldn't get up my street. i would've been lost without it then! lol
the cassettes are pricey but i've found each one lasts me between 4/6 weeks depending how many nappies we get through each day (at least 4/5 a day in the house alone) so its been worth it for me.
also it saves having to buy nappy bags alot and saves us having to empty other bins in the house constantly due to being full of nappies iyswim?
so personally i love mine and wouuld recommend them but its each to their own xx
So will be watching this thread with interest, as if the special bins really do cut out the smell I think I might invest. (I suppose a cheaper solution is to take pooey ones straight out to the outside bin, but I'm too lazy to do that.)
Keep your eyes open as tesco/boots/sainsburys and others do cassettes cheap. I seem to remember picking up a load in boots for about ??4 per pack! I'm still working my way through those supplies as they are lasting so long.
If you haven't yet had babe, you might want to wait as I certainly got a voucher for a heavily discounted one in my bounty pack from the hospital.
We have never had any problems with smells.

couldn't justify the expense when everyone we spoke to said they were more hassle than they're worth - and much cheaper to spend ??1 on 300 bags which will last about 2 months...

i had one with ds and NEVER used it, i took it out the box and just never used it, all the nappys went straight in the big bin due to the smelly baby poo

We actually have ours on outside balcony and stopped using the cassettes a wee while ago and just use scented nappy bags and a tip I got from BE - put a sanitary towel in the lid with a few drops of lavendar oil in it.
Should have said, we have the TT one.
We empty ours every other day. Wouldn't be without mine, best ??10 I spent. S x
