Anything will stink when the lid is open! Also, yay for using regular kitchen trash bags and for such a great color selection. Now if only LO will hurry up and get here so I can actually try it out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599245 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 11:22:15 +0000 MamaMoose 1599245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @MsLipGloss: @Alivoo01: I think I'm going to go for it. I don't think there is any diaper pail out there that can avoid being stinky when the top is open. As long as the smell isn't there all the time I'm good. Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599181 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 11:01:22 +0000 hilsy85 1599181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and like it a lot! It doesn't smell at all when it's closed. But when you open it, it is stinky for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599147 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:52:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1599147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Ubbi and it is fantastic! No smell when the door on top is closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599089 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:38:19 +0000 Alivoo01 1599089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Ubbi and really like it! I think it contains the smell well when the door is closed. I like that it uses regular trash bags and once DH takes out the dirty trash bag, the trash can doesn't remain stinky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599088 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:37:50 +0000 Beehive 1599088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ubbi and like it. I think it does do a good job of containing odors - huge difference when it's open and when it's closed! It's stainless steel so it doesn't retain odors as much as plastic. We spray down and disinfect the inside every so often, which helps even more I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-diaper-pail-1#post-1599045 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:24:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1599045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: This thread came up yesterday.

I broke our diaper genie last night and need to get something new. I love that the Ubbi can be used with regular trash bags. But some of the Amazon reviews state that it doesn't do a good job controlling odor. Does anyone have this? Do you like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1598468 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 06:29:58 +0000 Mrs. J 1598468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Step can and large wet liners!

Never had a stink issue with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1598009 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:10:29 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1598009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the ubbi for cloth diapers. We were worried about the reviews you mentioned, so we bought planet wise cloth liners. They work great. </p> <p>The biggest con I see with the ubbi is that it's pretty small, which means we end up washing our diapers more often than we actually need to. I'm not sure how the other diaper pails compare in size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1597974 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:33:49 +0000 avivoca 1597974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2373657&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.3242082.2256288&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2373657&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.3242082.2256288&#038;parentPage=family</a></p> <p>It's really basic and I bought charcoal inserts to keep the smell down. In almost seven months of cloth diapering, we have more issues with smell with our nighttime disposables than we do with the cloth pail. We have two PlanetWise wet bags that we rotate. For really messy diapers, I just lift the lid instead of trying to get the diaper through the hole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1597899 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:33:00 +0000 brownie 1597899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a quick note: We used a trash can as a diaper pail. We have potty trained and now, we find underwear in the real trash can in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1597883 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:27:05 +0000 Mrs. M 1597883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. We use large wet bags and love them, but I would like a bigger option since we will soon have two in cloth diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1597170 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:23:16 +0000 Cole 1597170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be worried about the narrow hole of the Ubbi, although I would think most wet bags would fit fine. I think we are either going to do the Dekor or just get a step on trash can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596983 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:10:41 +0000 pui 1596983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Which Simple Human trash can are you using specifically? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596966 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:06:32 +0000 Freckles 1596966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ubbi website says you don't have to use their liner.<br /> <a href="http://ubbiworld.com/faq.php#q11" rel="nofollow">http://ubbiworld.com/faq.php#q11</a></p> <p>I don't know if a regular pail will keep the odors at bay. I feel like you'd need one that locks in the lid (like what @autumnlove suggested) so that odors don't escape. We used a diaper genie for LO's disposables, and one time her room had a noticeable odor when i didn't realize that the bags had run out.</p> <p>We also used wet bags (i looped the zipper with ribbon so opening/closing it was really easy) and they did a great job of containing the smells. Plus, i could just throw it in the washer easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596955 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:03:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1596955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I was just looking at the Dekor at Target which has reusable liners you can put in it which should be great for cloth diapers. </p> <p>We loved our zipper wet bag that hooked onto the changing table. No smells ever but I would be interested in something larger for when baby is home full time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596882 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:30:55 +0000 looch 1596882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a wet pail, so we just used a plastic lidded can and I kept it full of water. I am not even sure why I decided upon that solution, to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596875 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:29:05 +0000 jetsa 1596875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular step trash can and Kissaluv pail liner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596871 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:28:19 +0000 pui 1596871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: I'd really prefer something I don't have to unzip or untie everytime I change a diaper for everyday! Sounds great for on a trip though.</p> <p>Maybe a regular pail with some kind of air freshener would satisfy DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596867 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:26:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 1596867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Ooooh, got it. That makes sense. You could also use the large zipped wet bags if you don't want to use a trash can. We've done that when we've taken DS on trips and wanted to use CD and they contain the smell just fine too. I have a small stick on air freshener in the bottom of our trash can and that probably helps some too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596863 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:25:22 +0000 blackbird 1596863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well the ubbi is stainless steel with a rubber gasket. Just like a regular (good quality) trash can is. They don't stink any less than the other, IMO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596854 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:22:19 +0000 pui 1596854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: It's a diaper pail like the Diaper Genie or whatever, but this one you can use any bag in them, so I was wondering if it would be possible to use a wet bag from a third party instead of the Ubbi one.</p> <p>My DH is afraid of the smell of dirty diapers and while I've told him many people just use regular trash cans with no issues he really wants pail specifically for diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596850 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:20:13 +0000 blackbird 1596850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had an Ubbi and two liners for a year and they aren't a problem. The problem is that diapers don't fit that great into the hole (especially extra thick nighttime diapers) so when we shoved it in there, we were getting poop all over the hole entrance and it wasn't holding that many diapers beacuse i wasn't goign to stick my hand in there and shove it in there. So now we use the Ubbi for liners/wipes/trash and we use a stepcan trash can for regular diapers with the Ubbi liners, which works out way better b/c we can just open it up and stick it in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596848 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:20:08 +0000 autumnlove 1596848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simple Human step can with a lock and a Kissaluv pail liner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596847 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:19:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 1596847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heard of the Ubbi...we use a basic plastic trash can with step opener and a large wet liner (we have two so we can rotate). It's worked just fine for us for 20 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ubbi-for-cloth-diapers#post-1596843 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 10:15:41 +0000 pui 1596843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see that you can buy a cloth pail liner specifically for the Ubbi, but I am reading some reviews that say the liner wears out after just 1 or 2 washes.

Just a regular trash can? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/banana-republic-jeans-smell#post-419699 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:19:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 419699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: eww!!! formeldahyde blech. ugh so gross. sometimes ignorance is bliss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/banana-republic-jeans-smell#post-419688 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:16:37 +0000 anonysquire 419688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Even after everytime I washed them they still smelled and bled.
