Our Korbell Nappy Bin Disposal System Review

I’m not going to lie- I never thought that I’d be the kind of blogger to review such a thing as nappy bin, but since having our new arrival, Arlo, I am clearly excited by all things baby once more, and what I am excited about right now is definitely worth sharing if you have a little one in nappies!

Step forward, please: the Korbell Nappy Bin.

First up, the design is super-stylish in that it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb in any nursery, bedroom or bathroom (I went for a delightful mint green one that went well with Arlo’s grey, white and yellow Scandi-style nursery), and most importantly, it actually WORKS in holding dirty nappies with zero smell and faff to dispose of.

Result!

When Freddie was a baby 6 years ago, we were given a second-hand leading brand’s nappy bag and nappy disposal bin, and to be honest it really wasn’t very good and was awkward to use. We soon ditched it, using a normal bin in the nursery to bung a dirty nappy (something we continued when Sasha was born), and even using scented bin liners it still made the room hum a fair bit. But to be honest, we didn’t think there was a decent alternative on the market- until now that is!

The Korbell nappy bin works by having one continuous liner on the inside of the bin (that can be accessed by a little door on the front). When the bag is full, you then cut the top off to the desired length in order to tie a knot in the top, using the safety ‘cutter’ on the inside of the bin before disposing of. The new nappy insert liner hanging down then has a bag created from it by tying a knot in the bottom (if all that makes sense? There are very easy-to-follow instructions on the inside of the litre bin that explains it a lot better than my sleep-deprived brain does!). You can easily buy the nappy liners from Amazon. Korbell’s nappy liners are 100% biodegradable liners, and are apparently the most environmentally friendly solution available right now. The liner material is strong though, which means that when you’re humping your full bag and nappy liner to the outside bin, there’s less chance of breakage and nappies going everywhere and creating bad smells!

The bin holds are fair amount of nappies (definitely full bags), so you’re not changing constantly (maybe every other day?), and you can tie and create the size of the bag you want depending on how many nappies are in the bin. I like the fact that there’s a foot pedal that opens the bin by foot, and the inside lid/ trap door to put the nappies in also opens and closes easily. Crucial when holding a baby in one arm and a precarious poo bag in the other! The bin seems to keep unpleasant smells away much more than the previous nappy bin that we tried.

You can buy the Korbell nappy disposal system comes in 3 different sizes and there are bags of any size to suit anyone’s nappy disposal needs – Mini (9 litre), Standard (16 litre, and what we’ve been reviewing) and Plus (26 Litres), and to be honest I’m considering buying a Mini one for our bathroom as they look so pretty and are also perfect for disposing of san-pro products and nappies before bath time etc. 

 So is this the most environmentally-friendly nappy disposal system around right now? I would say it’s one of them! The Korbell bin is definitely up there as a great option for new parents when it comes to nappy disposal bins, and has been a surprising hit in our house for our baby’s nursery, I would certainly recommend it and consider it the best choice for anyone with a baby or child still in nappies.

We were sent this bin in exchange for an honest review, all words and opinions my own.
