Ubbi Diaper Pail

Top Pro

Has a cost-effective design

Having to use regular trash bags simplifies everything, from changing the bags to buying replacements. You can line this pail with a bag like how you would a regular garbage can-- unlike some pails that would require you to fuss over the bags when refilling. See More

Top Con

Requires meticulous cleaning

With constant use, the pail gets stinky after a few months. It is advisable to meticulously scrub and soap it every week to reduce the smell from sticking on the container. See More

Top Pro

Has a wide-variety of colors

The Ubbi comes in 12 different colors which means it can fit nicely on any nursery theme. It's unobtrusive, you can push it against a corner and it won't call much attention to it. See More

Top Pro

Accomodates a cloth diaper bag

Because of its uncomplicated trash bag setup, its opening can hold a waterproof liner that's used to collect soiled laundry. Ubbi even makes its own waterproof liners for this purpose. Pails that use proprietary refills cannot do this. See More

Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail

Top Pro

Capable of suppressing odor

This diaper has been proven to be effective at containing smells. It has a thick lid that you open with a foot pedal. And a tight, round opening lined with plastic teeth that auto clinches once you've pushed the dirty diaper inside. This ensures that no smells waft out when you open the lid to throw a diaper. See More

Top Con

Costly to own

It only uses pricey, specialized refills which makes the Munchkin Step among the most expensive to own long-term, even though the pail itself is one of the cheapest among its competitors. See More

Top Pro

An ideal diaper pail for tall parents

Tall parents wouldn't have to bend down that much when disposing of a dirty diaper since this is 2 feet, taller than most pails. See More

Top Pro

One-handed convenience

The Munchkin Step has a foot pedal that's used to open the pail. This is convenient when you need to throw a dirty diaper but you're carrying your baby on your other hand. See More

Dekor Plus Diaper Pail

Top Pro

Very cost-friendly to own

The Dekor has a unique disposal mechanism. With most pails, you have no choice but to throw away the whole bag even if it isn't full yet. This pail, however, has continuous refill liners which means you can empty the pail whenever you want. By the access door is a child-proof cutter that you can use to snip off the plastic bag right at the top of the garbage, allowing room to tie a knot. Pull out the refill far enough and tie a new knot at the bottom to form a new refill. This is cost-effective since you only throw away what you've used. See More

Top Con

Lets out smell when you throw a diaper

A faint odor wafts out of pail every time you throw a diaper in. The trap door fans air out from the inside when it flaps close. See More

Top Pro

Hands-free convenience

You don't need to bend over to push the diaper through, nor touch the lid to close it. A soiled diaper is heavy enough to push the trap door open. See More

Top Pro

Easy to dispose dirty diapers

This pail has a foot pedal common in most diaper pails but what makes it unique is its spring-loaded trap door. Simply drop the dirty diaper in and it flaps back shut once inside. The lid shuts as soon as you release the foot pedal. See More
