Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail, Odor Locking, No Special Bag Required, Award-Winning, Registry Must-Have, Sage Green

After using a Diaper Genie for my first kiddo and having it break on me within 2 years (with no way to get replacement parts) I decided to try the Ubbi and I have not been disappointed! I’ve been using this diaper pail for just over 3 years and it’s AMAZING. It’s honestly superior to the diaper genie in every way, in my opinion. It does a way better job of containing the stink, the open and close is more convenient, the lock works great, it’s a perfect size, you don’t have to use those awful diaper bag rings, it looks cute, and, best of all, even after the piece of plastic inside broke after 3 years of daily use, they sent me a new part, free of charge!If you’re deciding between this and a diaper genie, do yourself a huge favor and pick this one!

Product is a great size compared to our diaper genie and much easier to use. Would highly recommend this product given it is a wider pail, holds scent well and just seems to be a well designed product. The capacity is great given the short height as it is much easier to store than other competitor pails which have a much higher clearance and flip open tops which make spacing even more challenging. Outside of that the functionality is great as it isn’t that much different than a normal trash and the only real learning curve is making sure the lid is shut.The only star I am taking off is due to the actual order itself. I was able to get a credit via Amazon to correct the pricing but had ordered a sage green bin at a slightly higher price and was given the generic white version. Rather than shipping it back I just asked for a credit for difference so Amazon corrected the problem but still wasn’t ideal having to reach out in the first place.

I had been given a diaper genie from a friend. Within 1 week of bringing home baby, my husband insisted the diaper genie was broken and asked me to get something different. The issue with the genie were numerous but the main was the genie was wobbly when trying to pull the bags out, and the bags often tore when replacing.This has solved both problems! Because it’s metal and heavier than the plastic genie, it is sturdier. Additionally, because you can use regular trash bags, we haven’t had any issues with the bags tearing. This is one of my favorite aspects bc it’s 1 less thing to purchase. The capacity also appears to be slightly more. Overall the capacity of diapers on both is somewhat disappointing, as we have to empty it 2-3x a week, and only do about half the diaper changes in the nursery. Although I get the impression we may be going through more diapers on a daily basis than average.I would mention that we have nearly overstuffed it a few times, and I’ve been nervous about ripping the bag. However, if it’s over stuffed, I’ll just tie the bag, and the reach down between can and bag and move some of the diapers up. (The bags we use are always larger than the can since we use the same ones I buy for our kitchen trash.)I have also been very impressed with the smell. We didn’t have the diaper genie long enough for me to comment on smell but I noticed the other day how well this works to keep the smell in, when I opened it to put in a dirty diaper and was overwhelmed by the stink inside! When properly closed you don’t smell anything! However, you will be subject to that stink when changing out the bags.Lastly, I love that it came in colors. The safe green looks adorable in the woodland themed nursery. Being able to get a color was basically just a bonus that put this diaper bin over the top. Would buy again and recommend to friends.

When I first got pregnant and added this to my registry a lot of older moms told me that the diaper trash cans are useless and don't work, I was told to just throw the diapers outside in the outdoor trash 🙄 like I would have time for that with a new baby as a FTM.But this is amazing, it uses regular trash bags that you can buy anywhere and it's easy to put the bag in. It last me 2-3 days before I have to change it just because of how many diapers I go through. I left the lid open once when I had a poopie diaper in there and I said dear God what is that smell.... Closed it and there was no smell anymore, so great .. I was surprised at at short the trash can was but I got used to it

I purchased this Ubbi pail for cat litter waste and here is the results.Pros :The pail is thin and compact and holds a lot of waste. Pretty color and looks nice. Uses regular bags and easy to operate. Lid opening is small which is better to not release a huge amount of stink. It’s almost hard to break the only thing you have to worry about is dings and rust. Being metal it doesn’t absorb stink like plastic can.Cons: You will get a small bit of stink when lid is open while that is common, it says to only use a rag to clean it and after you can still smell stink. So rather hard to clean to get smell off of it. If I’m just using a rag how is that going to clean it ?It can rust. If any contents you put inside are damp it will rust, you need damp rid or silica gel packs inside to absorb any moisture! The opening is small, while it’s great stink wise , it could be a litter bigger to accommodate adult diapers or other uses as for pets. I had to get a skimmer for a pet scoop something small enough to fit. The slide door under can get dirty & hard to clean.Overall it’s good. Definitely not perfect and far from it . It does require maintenance so it’s not maintenance free.I chose this one before the pet version because the pet version while it has a bigger opening it Doesn’t have the slide opening like this one.I use a magnetic hook with a opening teabag ball filled with silica packets to absorb moisture. I also hang a car air freshener inside .But overall I give it a 4. It could last years if you care for it weekly.
