Ubbi Diaper Pail

Chloe Montanez
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.

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.

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.

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.

Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail

Chloe Montanez
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...

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.

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.
Chloe Montanez
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.

Dekor Plus Diaper Pail

Chloe Montanez
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 c...

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.

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.
Chloe Montanez
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.
