Happy Nappy bags!

Advantages: Cheap, cheerful, does what it says on the label!
Disadvantages: wrapper is flimsy

...Review of Tesco Value fragranced nappy bags **THE PRODUCT** Tesco Value Nappy bags as the name implies, are a disposal bag designed for used nappies. They are lightly fragranced to mask unpleasant odours associated with used nappies. The product is basically a pale turquoise/blue plastic bag, large enough to take a soiled nappy and the accompanying baby wipes, cotton wool, loo paper or whatever else a modern mother cleans their baby with! The bags have a pair of loop type handles which can be securely tied for depositing in the nearest bin. The fragrance is rather delicate and quite difficult to describe, the nearest I can compare it to is a sort of baby powdery, soapy aroma. It is certainly not unpleasant but nothing remarkable. It is after all there to disguise nasty whiffs not titillate the nose! **PRICE, QUALITY...

Yes - 300 Nappy Bags for £1.00

Advantages: Cheap & Do The Job
Disadvantages: Not easy to get hold of

...I started off buying the usual branded nappy bags but soon swapped as they were far too expensive. I now buy and would recommend to anyone a pack of 300 bags for an amazing £1.00, in some shops they are 98 or 99p. The manufacturer of the bags is Bestbags and I buy them at my local independent chemist or a national chain called Bodycare. The bags have tie handles are good and certainly do the job that they are meant for. I dont know how other manufacturers charge the prices that they do....

Bestbag - Nappy bags

Advantages: Cheap, pleasant smelling
Disadvantages: Polythene a little on the thin side

...The price of Nappysacks in supermarkets and chemists is ridiculous and money I begrudged spending on what was essentially a polythene bag to dispose of baby mess. I didn't want frills, I didn't want anything special, just something to put the soiled nappies into for the journey to dustbin from baby's nursery. I then discovered Bestbags in a branch of Cutprice at £1 for 300 bags, being a bit sceptical I thought I would give them a go and have been using them for over 9 months now. They are thinner than Nappysacks and care has to be taken with then when fastening the handles as any air trapped in the bag can cause them to burst at the seams, but this apart they smell 100% better than the heavily perfumed over powering smell that Nappysacks have which I found more offensive than the contents of my son's nappy. Bestbags are definitely...

Easy access bags

Advantages: Easy to access box, gently fragranced
Disadvantages: none

...Overview After using a variety of nappy bags I finally found these at my local Wilkinsons. I found they were perfect for my needs for a variety of reasons, most of all because they came out of the packet individually and I didn't have to battle to separate them as I did with many other brands. They are also a good size, big enough to fit a couple of nappies in at least, so in the mornings when I have nappies from 2 chidlren I can save on using 2 bags. Good for the economy and good for my pocket. They are gently fragranced but not overpowering. They are orange in colour and the handles are long enough to tie. I've never had a problem with breakages etc and I've been using them about 3 years now. Packaging / contents/ availability I have never failed to find these bags and they come in 50's or 200's. They are reasonably...

Tesco's Value Fragranced Nappy Bags

Advantages: Keep them nasty smell's away
Disadvantages: None

...I have tried many nappy bags, nappy sacks. I wanted to see what Tesco?s value one?s were like for 58p I didn?t mind. **The Product** Tesco?s value nappy bags are designed to solve the unpleasantness of soiled nappies. Each bag is the right size to fit 1 nappy, including the wipes or cotton wool you have just used. There light see-through blue with handles. They are very thin but strong at the same time. Size 285 x 310mm including tie handles. **The Packaging** The bag is a think polythene bag, in white with red at the bottom, with the words Fragranced nappy bags written in red. With Tesco?s value logo on the top right hand side. With dotted holes for a tear away opening at the top, which is easy to open. The bag is flat and quite thin, so will not take yp any space at all. The bag also contains the recycle...

Review of Nappy sacks in general

Nappy bags that don't smell worse than the nappy!

Advantages: No perfume, biodegradable
Disadvantages: difficult to source

...Needing something to wrap used Terries in on days out, I opened the freebie pack of "Nappisaks" that came with my Bounty box. Phew, the artificial perfume stank worse than the nappy. Having made the whole of baby's changing bag stink like a cheap t**t I resorted to using old carrier bags. Now I have found the answer. Nature Bio Nappy bags are designed to wrap disposable nappies in for binning, they are totally biodegradable and compostable (based on natural starch) and being soft, are easy to tie to be almost airtight. They have no perfume and so can be tucked into the changing bag without stinking it out. Cost £1.59 for 50 (Waitrose)(Boots nappy sacks are £1.99 for 75)so i guess they are a little more expensive. Availablity So far I've only found them in Waitrose, they don't have them in Boots or Sainsburys so you may...

Advantages: I don't have one
Disadvantages: I don't have one

...While awaiting inspiration for a new review, I remembered that this one was overdue for an update. Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is.

Review of What's in my bag?

Bags of jiffy bag envelopes

Advantages: padds some fragile goods
Disadvantages: not suitable for glass

...I received a DVD in a jiffy bag recently opened the bag carefully and put the bag ready to reuse with about 20 other old jiffy bags I have ready for recycling. Actually I am not sure that all of them are genuine jiffy bags but they are the same sort of thing. Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s. Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available. The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents. Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated...

Review of Jiffy Padded Bag Envelopes

Super nappies!

Advantages: Good price, good fit, super absorbancy
Disadvantages: Quite thick, but this is for absorbancy

...I have used many different types of nappy on my son, and found these to be the best by far. These are the Little Angel's Nappy - sold exclusively at Asda superstores, and Asda Living. Pricing These nappies cost £3.97 for 32 nappies. This is a lot less cheaper than other brands, and they contain more nappies per pack. You can also have the chance to buy 3 packs for £10.00, therefore saving lots of money on something which is a must not a want! Examples of other nappies are as follows based on prices from Boots: Boots Own Brand - £3.99 (32 in pack) Pampers - £3.79 (18 in pack) As you can see, own brands are almost identical in price, and known brands are more expensive as you are paying for less nappies. Fit Throughout the sizes, these have fit perfectly. On the leg area we haven't had any red marks or sores...
