I’m all about buying products that make life easier that too as a first time parent with an infant. The Ubbi Diaper Pail has a high price tag for a nappy bin but omg this is definitely on the top of the list of the best baby products we have bought. I did my research on other diaper pails which were not super expensive but they all required specific bags and filters which in the long run would have cost us a lot of money. One of the best things is that you can literally use any garbage bag for the ubi which saves so much money! It is super efficient at keeping the stink in and it’s such a good size. We change the bag 1-2 times a week so it saves us trips to main bins. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Absolutely awful smell. Same kids poops - but worse smell.

I understand that poopy diaper smells will escape when any diaper pail is opened. I have a 2 year old so I’ve been using diapers long enough to not have some magical expectations but holy mother of jeebus the Ubbi stinks up the whole room when opened for literally less than a “1 Mississippi” to throw a diaper in. I bought it thinking it would replace the one (a different brand) we have been using but that bad boy got brought back from retirement within a couple days. Their claim that it won’t stink up your room when they door is closed seems to be true, you’d never guess what is behind that slide when it’s closed, but after opening it for even the shortest amount of time you have to air out the whole room before you have the opportunity to forget what’s going on in ... MoreI understand that poopy diaper smells will escape when any diaper pail is opened.

Diapers from the same child, no more poopy or strange than ever before, suddenly smell like he pooped dead animals. I honestly don’t know how it smells so much worse but it does.

Bag doesn't come out

I really like the design of this garbage pail for diapers. It allows you to close it fully to keep the smell out of the room. It's also nice that it's made of metal so you can clean it easily. However, every time the bag needs to be changed, I struggle to pull it out of the canister. It gets suctioned inside and needs considerable force to be pulled out. Not sure how to release that pressure to make changing the bag easier.

Best Diaper Pail

I was gifted a diaper genie for my son and used it with him, and didn’t know any better. But with my daughter I started being bothered by having to buy those liners for inside, they are expensive and honestly always ended up being wasteful. Plus I found they were ripping easily and I would find little blue pieces of plastic from the liner on the ground after I’d change the bag which I worried was a choking hazard. I did my research and decided it was more economical to buy the Ubbi diaper pail than to keep buying those annoying liners. I have only been using the Ubbi for one week so far but I’m in love. It keeps the smell in much better (I think because it’s steel). It’s smaller and cuter looking (I bought the grey wood and it matches my daughter’s furniture so ... MoreI was gifted a diaper genie for my son and used it with him, and didn’t know any better.

Plus the bags seem to hold much more diapers and are so much easier to change. I was worried that it might be too short for me (I’m 5’9) but it’s not at all, it’s easy to open the lid and put the diaper and wipes in with one hand while keeping one hand safely on my daughter. I wish I had this from the beginning but thankful I made the switch now while my daughter is still little. To summarize buy this diaper pail!

Hopefully it goes well!

I am currently 5 months pregnant so I’m not completely sure how this will work for us. I wished it was a little larger but who knows it could be perfect. The color (marble) is stunning and elegant. The products itself seems overall very well made and sturdy. It’s very convenient that it doesn’t take any special bags, regular home trash bags seem to fit perfectly. The ordering was extremely easy and the delivery was right on time. Fingers crossed it’s the perfect one for us

Look elsewhere

Owner this pail for over a year. Ended up using it out in the garage as the doodoo pail. Once you open this thing to out a diaper in, the smell of collected diapers over a week hits you and stays in the air. We ended up throwing outs away this morning as a fly ended up going in and made babies. Larvae was everywhere. When the lid opened tons of tiny poop flies would go everywhere. Wasted money on this. Our two arm and hammer diaper geneie's that were much cheaper we've had for over 4 years are completely outperforming this one. I'm baffled that this makes top picks on YouTube, they must be getting paid...

No smells but could be designer better

Overall absolutely love this diaper pail! It does a fantastic job of locking in smells. My only feedback on flaws are: - The opening to throw the diapers in is very small - if you have a very messy diaper, you get poop all over the sides of opening. - Because the diaper pail is sealed so well (Great for smells!) when it's full, its really hard to remove the trash bag - it gets suctioned to the bottom. It's even hard to hold the pail down while you pull out the bag. I would recommend adding a release valve on the bottom to help with the suction and make the bottom easier to hold down with your feed (it slides right out). Even with those flaws I still recommend this!

Not The Best You Can Get

We purchased this can in 2019 and don’t plan on repurchasing for baby number two. I also likes the idea of an all steel can. But as others have stated the execution is not great. You’d have to take out diapers every day for there to be no odor. The lid part traps moisture and causes mold on the inside of the lid especially on the rubber gasket. You have to take the lid apart (screws and all) to fully clean it and probably at least once a week to avoid mold. Likes the idea and the fact you don’t have to buy special bags but with the other meticulous flaws it wasn’t worth it.

Stinkiest diaper pail ever

With my first kid we had the diaper genie and had no major complaints other than it was an eye sore. With our second we got the ubbi because it was slightly better looking. But it is terribly designed. There is nothing holding in the smell when you open it (diaper genie shuts the diapers off when you open), it stinks up the room instantly. The dirty diaper smell remains even with a fresh bag change. It also creates condensation in there which is just gross. And once you have the convenience of a foot opener like the genie it kind of sucks to have to open by hand, especially as the baby gets older and wigglier. Definitely would not recommend, I have no idea why these are so popular.

love this can, i have 2

We use these diaper pails and they really keep the smell contained. They fill pretty quickly. I can also used regular garbage bags in it and do not need to get special ones which I appreciate. we have 2 in different rooms. The lid is a bit hard to open and it doesn't slide open that smoothly but overall I would recommend them. We have the chevron and the marble one and they have a nice look as well. Functional and look good too.
