Poo, poo, poo, and more poo, wee wee’s too
I am on sluice duty this week, that means its my turn to empty the pad (disposable nappy) bins .So I thought I would tell you about sangenic bins.
Sangenic bins come in 2 different sizes one small one suitable for home use and a larger one suitable for school/nursery use.
Until recently we just used to put used pads into a large plastic bag similar to a bin bag which was used inside a plastic bin we would then put the bag after tying the top in our sanitary collection skip. This bag although we tried to be as hygienic as possible was not pleasant the smells escaped from it, it was difficult to manage not a very nice job.
I work in a special needs school for children aged between 3 and 18 a lot of the children I work with have no bowel and bladder control so wear pads we have to change and clean the children when necessary. So we do have quite a lot of pads to deal with.
We purchased some sangenic bins to try and make our working life more pleasant.
They are much better we enclose each pad separately in the bag container and there is not so much smell emitting from the bin and the pads seem to take up a smaller space as they are compressed a little. So for a crèche/ nursery/ playgroup I would certainly recommend these bins.
They can be quite expensive the smaller one about 30-40 pounds the large one about 45-50 pounds each new replacement cassette is about £3-£3.50.
Each cassette holds about 150 baby nappies
For home use if you can afford one and your other means of disposal are unsatisfactory or maybe you have 2 or 3 young children in pads then yes I would recommend them
What is a Sangenic bin? It is a bin a little like a flip top waste bin inside the flip top it has a hole in which a canister fits, this canister contains a very long continuous tube of plastic bag, you place the canister onto a funnel cone shaped entrance site to the bin tie a knot in the bottom of the plastic bag tube centralise the bag and when you have removed the pad from the child and put a clean one on them you fold/roll the nappy up small and put it into the bag. You twist the funnel a few times it seals the dirty/wet pad inside and it is lowered into the bin ready for the next nappy to be put in and sealed when the bin is full you just twist the top and cut the plastic bag tube tie the top and dispose of it.
This is a very hygienic way of storing soiled nappies till we empty them. If you have any solid matter this can be emptied into the toilet and flushed away. If we have any very offensive nappies we first seal them in a plastic carrier bag before putting in the bin.
At work we empty our sangenic bin every night but I don’t think it would be necessary every day in a home environment
The old nappies disposed of this way do not smell so bad and it is too difficult for children too get into.
Well that’s a little of what my jobs about cleaning soiled children and disposing of their nappies .
I do more fun things as well. Its not all changing pads….. LOL.. Mary

Advantages: Keeps smells at bay
Disadvantages: Bit Pricey
Sangenic Nappy Wrapper
The Wrapper is a device designed to make the disposal of nappies easier and less smelly. It consists of a large plastic bin style object (with a lid) that contains a roll/cassette of scented plastic. The Scented plastic wraps you nappies when you place them in the wrapper. It is ideal for keeping all dirty nappies together in one place until you are ready to empty it.
The wrappers are available from lots of stores now lsuch ... ...sizes, small and large and cost approx £38 and £50.
Advantages-
It is much easier to put a dirty nappy inside the wrapper than try and use a small nappy sack
It is an alternative to using the kitchen bin if it is not always possible to use the outside bin.
It does keep a lid on nasty odours
Disadvantges-
I think it is a bit overpriced and a bit uneccesary if you only have one child, perhaps more useful if you have lots of children.
I find ...

I seen this on offer at Mothercare and thought to myself "what a great idea it would save the bother on trying to open nappy sacks "

Natty Nappy Wrapper or Nasty Nappy Rapper
Review of Sangenic Nappy Wrapper by
fallen121
Advantages: Good Idea in Principle, Just Empty Once A Week
Disadvantages: Expensive, Inferior Quality, Poor Design, Pungent Odour, Waste of Money
...rush out and buy a Sangenic Nappy Wrapper system, they are available from Tesco, Asda, Mothercare, Boots and boots.com, not to mention a few other places. When I first wrote this review the price was around £29.99, although you could use your Boots Advantage Card points instead which was what I did. Boots also had an offer where they gave away 1,000 Advantage Card points for every £30.00 spent on baby products (offers like this are frequently repeated) ... ...at £14.99, so I guess Sangenic felt they had to compete. This doesn't make this review any less valid, however, so if you are considering buying one then please read on!
Hey wait! Not everyone’s a parent you know. Might be an idea if you explained to all your good readers exactly what these contraceptions ARE. Ok then. Well, basically it’s a lemon yellow coloured bin with a hinged lid into which you place used nappies and wipes as they come off ...

Just can't avoid the topic of poo can we?
Review of Sangenic Nappy Wrapper by
bunnydixon
Advantages: compact and easy to use - contains the mess!
Disadvantages: after time does have a funny smell and does need emptied fairly frequently.
I never even realised these things existed until my Gran pointed it out in Mothercare when we were yet again shopping for more baby items. We were still in the preparation stage, spending our way through my carefully thought out list. This was not on the list and when my gran offered to buy it for us I told her not to be silly, it was just one of those rip of items that you didn't really need. However, my partner ( who has an uncanny phobia to nappies ... ...of getting one so I eventually relented and we bought it. It was half price so I didn't begrudge it THAT much.
As it turns out it is one of the best buys we made. You can have it at your changing area so as soon as you have used a wipe you can shovel it in and the smelly nappy goes straight in aswell, push it down (it then is 'gripped' by some plastic fingers), twirl the top and nappy is neatly contained in a bag, in the bin. It certainly saves ...

A good way to hide nappies
Review of Sangenic Nappy Wrapper by
Psychgirl
Advantages: No smell here
Disadvantages: Loose prongs and liner ends without warning
I use the 28-30 nappy sized bin. Basically you pop used nappies through the window in the top, twist the inner lid and the nappy is held inside a special liner. When you empty the bin you find a long line of nappies wrapped in the liner that resembles a link of sausages.
I'm glad I didn't opt for the next size up, as this smaller one is quite a weight to lug around when you empty it out.
I think its a great system with only a couple of drawbacks. ... ...the nappy sack are very liable to come away when you empty the bin - and recovering them (if you notice) involves hunting through bin bag full of soiled nappies. This is a very bad thing.
Once you have bought the bin the on-going costs are the rolls of liners you slot in. These are very reasonably priced, around £3. Each time you empty the bin, you use the internal cutter and seperate the liner from the continuing roll. This cutter does take a bit ...
