It really is a lifesaver during the summer months when it doesn't matter what set-up you have, it'll get funky quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067787 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:47:05 +0000 jmarionsmith 1067787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: gotcha! i think the hole could be bigger, but i always dunked/rinsed my dirty cloth diapers so there wasn't much of a "mess" to get on me... but i could see how if you don't do that how it could be a problem. hope that helps! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067510 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:24:10 +0000 Pink Champagne 1067510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a simplehuman can with one of those Arm&amp;Hammer sticky deodorizers in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067443 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:57:05 +0000 beesknees 1067443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just use a regular small steel lidded can, with the foot pedal. smells are contained. Though we do have to give the can a good washing and spraying every so often- and i do think the interior of the can has an off odor.....We do cloth diaper 75% of time- so don't know if that keeps smells down. but dirty wipes and plenty of dirty disposables go in there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067440 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:55:22 +0000 mrsmate 1067440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly did cloth at home, but threw out disposables in our kitchen garbage. We had a simplehuman step can. It did do a good job keeping the smells in, but when you open it it smelled pretty bad! We compost so we don't throw out much food garbage either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067433 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:53:04 +0000 citymouse 1067433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: Im asking because I just read on another thread about how the hole for the Ubbi is too small. :-/ She ends up getting her hands dirty and the pail dirty trying to push cloth diapers through the hole, which defeats the purpose. So, just trying to gather some info because I thought I was set for the the Ubbi to be the best option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067428 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:49:52 +0000 jmarionsmith 1067428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have the ubbi diaper pail and it really does keep the smell contained. but when you open it, whoa is it foul! haha. once its closed though, we don't smell anything.</p> <p>eta: i should read more clearly. sorry i didn't see the "trash can" part. ours is specifically for diapers, so i don't know if that helps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steel-trash-can-for-a-diaper-pail-users#post-1067422 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:48:18 +0000 citymouse 1067422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it keep the smell contained?? </p>
