Diaper pails make changing time easier, offering a quick way to dispose of diapers

What to Consider

• Odour control method: Each diaper pail comes with a unique odour control method incorporated either into the diaper pail itself or the refillable plastic bags
• Material: Most diaper pails are made of plastic, but some believe stainless steel absorbs less odour and is more longlasting.
• Ease of use: Choose a hands-free or one-handed style opening to allow easy disposal and refilling of plastic bags
• Capacity (number of diapers): If your baby requires frequent changes, you might need a diaper pail with a larger capacity
• Dimensions: Make sure your diaper pail can fit into your nursery!
• Refillable bags: Many pails require bag refills from the same brand which can often become very costly

Tips

• Change your diaper pail every 3-4 days to prevent any smells.
• Make sure to buy extra refillable plastic bags, to prevent running out!
• Dispose of any solids in your toilet before putting your diaper in the pail. It will reduce odour.
• For any lingering smells, you can try sprinkling either baking soda, coffee grounds, or a few whole cloves at the bottom of the diaper pail to help absorb the smell.
