Tommee Tippee is a brand known is well-known for baby products that are functional and practical. The Tommee Tippee Twist and Click Advanced Nappy Bin Starter Set is designed to meet the same expectations, in fact, better it this time around.

This nappy bin has a one-of-a-kind twisting mechanism that individually wraps a dirty nappy locking it inside the bin eliminating the nasty smell. It is made to provide you and your child maximum protection.

All you need to do is drop the used nappy, wind the handle that twists, and wraps it in a protective bag locking the smell and bacteria in it. You then just close it to seal it. The antibacterial film is 99% effective against germs and infection-causing bacteria.

One drawback that I came across is that you have to use Tommee Tippee bin liners with this product as others are not compatible.

What to look for when buying a nappy bin

• Capacity: This is one of the most important things to consider when looking for a nappy bin. Make sure thr nappy bin has enough capacity to store at least 20 diapers as young babies require to change their nappies frequently.
• Liner system: Many nappy bins come with liners (plastic bags) these days. However, there are a few bins that need liners separately. This latter can be expensive as you’ll have to buy the entire roll of liners for your nappy bin. Make sure to check the system before you’re buying the nappy bin.
• Safety: Safety is important as the baby will be using it. Make sure the nappy bin has enough space so that the baby’s hands can get hold of it. Also, look for features like the requirement of adult touch for bin opening.
• Special features: You can look for extra features if you have a big budget like wrapping the nappy tightly to avoid smell etc.
