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 babynappies
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 topwaste 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
