The manufactuer in their demo bills the pail as not requiring special bags thus money savings (source). Probably Hanlon's razor as several people on the Amazon.com product page complain that the pail rips bags (search keywords "tear" and "rip" separately in the reviews).

>Ubbi, your diaper pail needs to go back to drawing board because there are major design flaws. See photo. I have had many garbage bags fail in this pail from Ubbi bags, to Hefty ultra strong flex, and now industrial strength 30 gl bags. The reason for this is the stupid lip this trash can has at the top for the seal and duel lid to act as an anti-smell capsule. Every time the bag will catch on this lip and tears. Fail at least once a week now and I have 2 kids

------------------------------

>This works great if you like to pick up diapers by hand when the bag tears open. Seriously. There are little downward facin tabs around the rim that sometimes snag the bag and can tear it open. Sometimes is too often IMHO when dealing with dirty diapers. My better half says it never happens and I do it wrong - don't know, I'm certainly not try to bare hand deal with the toxic contents and it's happened DOZENS of times over the last 3 years. When my last one is out of diapers I swear to Christ I'm gonna take an ax to this thing.

----------------------------

>I regret my purchase of this container. It doesn't hold nearly as many diapers as my last one and it's a pain to replace the bags. When them unit is full, it's horribly smelly to replace the bags and when you pull it out, the bag tears every time from the back hinge.

---------------------

Apparently you may be using an older revision of the pail as the manufacturer commented on one of the bad reviews saying they had changed the product to make the bags not tear:

>Our latest Ubbi diaper pail models have:

>1. Smoother teeth on the bag holder, and are turned upward instead of downward

>2. A smoother cover to shield the jagged rim, so the bag doesn’t get stuck in between these teeth

>We do hope these updates and explanations help ease your frustrations with your Ubbi diaper pail. Send us an email at [email protected] so we can further discuss your issue and come to a solution. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and we look forward to hearing from you!

Here are a couple more pictures.

Top Five that money can buy:

  1. Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. I’ve seen this crib in lots of nursery pics. It is easy to put together and sturdy. We picked ours up off Facebook Marketplace for $125, including the conversion kit.

  2. Hatch Rest sound machine and night light. we got a chance to trial run this little gadget a couple days ago when a friend’s toddler napped at our house. It was nice being able to change the sounds and light colors and turn up the sound using an app on my phone. Toddler was fussing and we turned up the sound a little and he went to sleep! Magic!

  3. Jellycat stuffed animals. They are just so cute. I give one to all the new babies in my life. My brother and SIL gifted this baby with one.

  4. Ubbi diaper pail. I don’t have experience using it, but it calms my nerves about poop. 🤷‍♀️

  5. Nambe photo frame. This was a gift. It is the sweetest little frame ever and not something I think I would have splurged on for myself, but seeing it in person, I think it would be an amazing gift for new parents and even worth buying for yourself. It’s so precious.

    Top Five that money can’t buy:

  6. The quilt hanging in the wall was made by my great grandmother and was my baby quilt! My mom surprised me with it at my shower.

  7. The framed art and picture. The top is a painting of baby garibaldis (sooooo cute!), which is the state fish of California. The bottom is a photo of my husband riding on his dad’s shoulders as a toddler.

  8. This book collection. We asked people to just gift baby with a book (they gave us soooo much more in addition), and we ended up with the most wonderful collection of funny and sweet books that will continue to remind us that we have an amazing family and network of friends.

  9. Box full of Beany Babies. Sentimental gift to baby from my mom.

  10. The yellow giraffe basket. My best friend gave us this and told me that she had bought when I was pregnant the first time (with a baby I lost to miscarriage). For some reason it just makes me so happy that there’s something meant for that baby in this room. ❤️🌈

We love our Ubbi diaper pail: http://www.amazon.com/Ubbi-Steel-Diaper-Pail-White/dp/B00821FLT4. Expensive but holds the odor so well and uses standard trash bags, which is nice, and lots of colors to work with your house.

We couldn't live without the Rock and Play or Ergo carrier. Sleepers with foldover mittens were a lifesaver too - Old Navy had ones that worked for us. Also, absorbent pads for the changing table! We set them on top of the changing pad cover, and just wash them when there are poop/pee incidents.

Lots of onesies - it just made sense for us early to just dress her in a onesie and call it good. Carters worked well - the Gerber ones were a bit thinner and ran small.

We used Circo receiving blankets as burp cloths because we received like seven million as gifts.

Worst purchases: lots of newborn sized clothes - she grew out of them so fast and never wore 90%! We've yet to get any use of our baby shoes, because her feet are teeny, so we stick with just socks.

We have this:

http://www.amazon.com/Ubbi-10000-Diaper-Pail-White/dp/B00821FLT4/ref=sr_1_10?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1414244485&sr=1-10&keywords=Diaper+pail

Yes, it's expensive but it works! We also got it at Buy Buy Baby with a 20% off coupon which is incredibly easy to find. It uses regular trash bags so that's great, and as long as you remember to close the lid, it keeps all the smell contained. The only downside we've found is that because it's so big, it holds like a weeks worth of diapers, and then the bag is so crazy heavy when it's time to change it that I can't lift it and my husband has to do it! Not such a bad downside for me actually :)

We're almost eleven months out (OMG, HOW?) and this has been our experience:

> If you use a dresser for a changing table, do you need a way to keep the baby from falling off while you’re reaching for supplies?

  • You'll figure this out really fast, but you pretty much NEVER take your hand off baby when s/he's on the changing table. It's like an alligator bred with a honey badger, and that resulting spawn is your baby - rolling and thrashing around all over the changing table. And they don't give a FUCK. SO. What works for us is having my son's Hatch changing table on the left side (husband and I are right handed) of the Ikea Hemnes dresser. One of the nice things about the Hatch is that it has a grippy bottom and nice weight to it, so it can sit directly on the dresser itself. No "box" needed to secure it. Our diaper pail is to the left, next to the dresser, for immediate disposal. Creams and bum brush and lotions and hair brush/gel are within easy reach in a wooden stand on the right side of the dresser. Wipes are in the middle of the dresser, at the foot of the hatch. We don't have a lot of electronic toys (because they drive me up the wall) but the small, light up/music playing hand toys we do have are kept in the wooden stand, within arms reach, because they're novel and interesting enough to "distract" my son (sometimes) long enough for me to change his diaper. The diapers themselves are kept in the first top left drawer of the dresser, the one right under the Hatch. Everything is within easy arms reach. I never have to step away from the dresser. One thing to keep in mind when looking for a dresser/table/whatever is width. I love that the Hemnes is nice and wide; I have enough surface area to set the dirty diaper down so I have two hands free to wipe, set his clothes, his towel, his whatever. My friend has the standard pad length/width only table and often complains about there not being "counter space."

    > Are diaper pails necessary over a regular trash can?

  • This totally depends on your "lifestyle." For us - YES. Absolutely. I have a basset hound who LOVES to bathe in shit of any kind (WHY.) and can sniff it out from a mile away. We couldn't use a regular trash can. We couldn't use the kitchen trash can. And we certainly couldn't run out to the outside trash 15 times a day/all hours of the night. We needed something hound proof, and the Ubbi fit the bill. It's metal, so it really locks in the smell. Downside is it's more on the expensive side. Upside is that it locks nice and tight (my son is learning to walk now and loves to open everything he shouldn't but hasn't busted through this thing) AND you can use any bag in it, so over the long run you'll probably even out cost-wise anyway (refill bags for the diaper genie and/or munchkin are actually pretty expensive). It's been 11 months for us. My hound lays right next to the Ubbi while I change my son and has never once even noticed it or its contents. We take the trash out now once, max twice a week. On the other hand, my brother had a Diaper Genie with his first. They just had their second and when he mentioned needing another diaper pail I asked him what kind. His response was a resounding "ANYTHING BUT A DIAPER GENIE." Over time it basically absorbed the smell and there was nothing to be done about it. I think they have a Munchkin now, though I'm not sure how well they like it.

    > Should we store diaper change equipment up on an open shelf that doesn’t require hands to open a drawer?

  • This is certainly an option, though I find it no problem at all opening the little drawer I store diapers in (as long as the drawer is within easy reach of the table). If you do store above, make sure it's high enough that a kicking baby won't catch a limb on it. We used to have some wire baskets that housed wash cloths and creams and rattles hanging above the middle of our dresser, but pretty low because the dresser itself is centered below a large window. Anyway, a few months in, when my son really got his stanky legs goin', he caught his toe a few times on the wire baskets so we had to take them down. sigh. We just can't have nice things.

    > Ambient vs task lighting? Nightlights?

  • Yes. Yes. And yes. All kinds of lighting options. What works for us is having the regular room light - bright, white, whatever. It's the ceiling light. His rocking chair is in the corner opposite his crib - hanging above this I have two pendant lights with Edison bulbs. Our son slept in our room for the first 9 months, but all diaper changes took place in his room, so I kept one or two (as needed) of these Edison lights on at all times. They were great for the middle of the night diaper changes because I could walk into an already lit room that I could see perfectly in without it being too bright/blinding myself/waking my son up even more than he already was. Pro-tip - I also have a hanging pendant light with an Edison bulb on at all times in the living room, where I did his middle of the night feeds, and it worked perfectly as well. I also recommend a small tap light of some sort. I love this little lamp - I kept it on my bedside table when kiddo was in our room and could carry it around the room with me as needed, down the hallway, into the kitchen to make a bottle, whatever - all with a baby in my arms. It's now in his room and I can tap it on really quick if I need to check things out without waking him up. Along the same lines as lighting, I also recommend something like a star projector. We didn't get this until we moved our son into his room at 9M, but he loves it. Some babies end up getting distracted by these things and are unable to fall asleep with them, but in our son's case it soothes him to sleep. You'll figure out soon enough which kind of sleep environment your baby prefers.

    > Blackout curtains for napping?

  • This is also one of those "it largely depends" type things. For us, creating our son's naptime environment was heavily influenced by what kind of environment he'd need to be able to nap in while at daycare - which was one giant classroom filled with 10-15 infants, fluorescent lighting, one solid wall of windows, and allthenoise - crying, music, classrooms filled with older babies and elementary school aged children, and constant interruption. So... we didn't bother with blackout curtains. For naps in the infant stage we kept our son in the living room - TV on, music on, lights on, "inside voices" but not too quiet. Very different than nighttime, where it was obviously darker (though still not pitch black), a white noise machine to muffle "life sounds," and in his pack n play or crib.

    > A recliner that’s comfy enough to doze in?

  • This is kind of tricky. You want somewhere you'll be comfortable sitting in for hours at a time, all day and all night long, but not something you have to struggle to stay awake in. I ended up doing all feeds on our living room couch, which I hadn't planned on but it ended up being the most comfortable for me. My husband prefers the living room recliner. We also converted an Ikea Strandmon Wingback into a rocking chair and have this in his nursery, which is where we do reading and cuddles, and where my husband or I will sit with him as he plays with crap on the floor. The most important thing to look for, I think, is back support, neck/head support, and arm support. You need something tall enough so that your head isn't sticking up above the chair back, and you need arms that are high enough so that they can support you while you're holding, say, a bowling ball, at chest height for over an hour (bend your arm at the elbow so it's at a 90 degree angle across your chest - whether you breast or bottle feed, this is the height at which you'll hold your baby while feeding. Try to find an arm high enough to support your elbow. A boppy of some sort offers a little extra elevation, if you go that route.).

    > Is a light colored rug a terrible idea?

  • Yeah. The era of light furnishings is probably closed for the foreseeable future. I don't know how an immobile potato gets sticky fingers and jammy toes, but they do. And it gets on everything. Also pee. And poop. And spit up. They're pretty much bodily fluid rocket launchers.

    Anyway. Our experience. Hopefully you find a few pearls in there that are helpful to you!

I love my diaper pail so much!! I got the Ubbi diaper pail. I have never smelled anything coming out of that thing, the seals are so good (unless I forget and leave it open, but that's not their fault). It's stainless steel so the dog can't get into it, cause my dog has been known to eat plastic to get to something he wants to eat. I use regular kitchen trash bags with it. It's expensive for a can that holds poop, but it's cheaper than a good regular stainless steel trash can. I highly recommend it!

u/doophusphone · 3 pointsr/predaddit

Ubbi more expressive but it uses whatever bags you normally would in your kitchen. It keeps ANY smell in. It's awesome. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00821FLT4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394731099&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

u/fourg · 3 pointsr/Parenting

Same here. Diaper genie drew us in because it was inexpensive initially, but they get you with all the refills you have to buy. We picked up one of these Ubbi's and while it seemed like a lot upfront we can use our kitchen garbage bags we get in bulk from Costco in it.

u/JacobmovingFwd · 2 pointsr/clothdiaps

I'd really strongly recommend the Ubbi Diaper Pail.

First, it's human smell-proof. We have our changing table in our bedroom, and never had a problem with it.

Second, that lid should definitely be dog proof. It even has the locking latch so the hatch won't open, but I'd expect a beagle to bee too short for that to be an issue. Between being able to lock the hatch, and maybe put some small weights in the bottom so they can't knock it over, it'll be safe.

Third, the pail just takes normal 13gal bags. We did disposables for newborn, and our normal kitchen bags did great. We have wet bags in it now, and they're still perfect.

The only, only thing I do, and I have no evidence I need to, is leave it open when there's no bag in it to air-dry out a bit. Diapers are exothermic, and it generates some humidity in there. It's a steel pail so I'd like to think I'm offsetting future rust. I'm at least letting nasty diaper humidity get out.

u/DrummerOfFenrir · 1 pointr/predaddit

I would recommend this awesome diaper pail because you don't have to buy special bags. It just uses regular garbage bags. Save you money in the long run.

I love ours

Take a look at this one

u/ss0889 · 1 pointr/predaddit

the ubbi doesnt use bags. its a newer product from them, not their initial break into proprietary bagged systems.

so the ubbi im talking about is basically a regular old 80 dollar trash can but it has heavy duty rubber seals and child proofing. its made of stainless steel, you just use regular glad bags in it or no bag if you want (you nasty ass). heres the product and currently its on sale for 50 bucks instead of 80. they list ubbi bags with it, obviously, but you can just get any costco bag for that size container and use it.

Thats comparable to the cost of a regular nice looking stainless steel trash can but it those regular cans dont have any sort of smell seal on them.
