Munchkin Nappy Disposal System
Verified72 reviews
Too expensive – Great product but the bags are too expensive. Babies use a lot of nappies and you go through the bags so quickly. Yes it stops the smell with any number 2. But not worth it in my opinion. I ended up baging them in scented bags and straight in the large council bins.

Third time lucky!!! – This is the one! Don't waste time and money on other nappy disposal systems like i did, go straight for the munchkin nappy disposal system - it is a must have for any parent. There are so many pros to this system and i am yet to find a negative. This system is completely odour free, even in my very small nursery (the bicarb soda is an added odour… Read more
fighter and obviously works very well)! It is easy to use - just put the nappy in, close the lid, and you are done. It is compact, light weight and holds lots of nappies (up to a weeks worth and you can even fit more nappies in the bags when you remove them from the bin).
And best of all - you may never have to pay for refills! Munchkin has a fantastic deal where they give away free refills with every bin purchased, saving you time and money, which is so important in the early weeks with a new baby. To receive 2 free refills, all you need to do is buy a bin, enter your code (which will be included in your pack) and my introductions code (which is: 9thmxanns) into the munchkin website to get your free refills. I also get a free refill for sharing my introduction code with you and you can do the same by referring your friends.
There is no limit to how many free refills you can receive and i received my first 2 free refills within a week. It really is a win win situation and the munchkin nappy disposal system will quickly become one of your favourite baby purchases. Good luck with your new bub! Free refills, odour free, easy to use, compact, light weight and convenient - a must have!
Keeps smells at bay, even in Summer! – As a first-time expectant mum, when I first saw the nappy disposal systems in the stores, I thought they were overkill. That was until I came face-to-face with a friend's regular nappy bin at the height of summer! The experience convinced me that an odour-controlling nappy bin should be high on my list of nursery purchases. I researched various… Read more
systems and the Munchkin always came out the highest rated of all so I ended up purchasing one from Target for $40.
As a new mum of twins, the system has been a life saver. Needless to say we go through mountains of nappies each day but I've yet to smell anything coming from the bin. It's easy to swap the bags over when full and the fact that you don't have to manually turn any knobs when you put a nappy in (like other systems) makes it very easy to use. Just close the lid and you're done!
My only complaint is that the refill packs can be hard to come by. I've overheard 2 stores now recommending other brands instead, purely because their refills are plentiful.
I stock up when I find the refills on sale ($14-15) and haven't run out yet! They're easier to find online than in stores.
Munchkin give you a free refill pack when you purchase the system and register on their website, and if you use an existing customers Introduction Code, they send both of us a refill pack for free. My Introduction Code is QCH63A12S so we can all band together and get free refills. Easy to use, cheap, keeps smells at bay Can be hard to find refill packs in stores
This is the BEST and we can't imagine life without it! – I decided to put the Munchkin Nappy Bin on my baby shower list after reading all the great reviews and I'm so glad I did as we couldn't imagine life without it. It certainly blocks any odours and is very easy to use. You can open and close it with one hand which is necessary when you have a dirty wet nappy in the other Changing the liner is quick… Read more
and easy, but we've found that the liners can actually fit more nappies in (about 10 more) once it is out of the bin itself, so we get the most out of the liners as we can. It is also very light so easy to move around if needed. Fairly compact, and because it is so sleek it doesn't impact on nursery design/theme so you don't really notice that it is there.
Hi there,
Munchkin also does a great deal where theyʼre giving away free refills when you buy a bin, so it saves you and other mothers money - very important with a new bub! All you have to do is buy the bin, enter my code: (ZLLM88UZ0) into their website to get your first free refill. THEN both you and the mothers whose code you use get ANOTHER free refill. That means you get 2 x free refills automatically! Easy to use, no odours, doesn't impact on nursery design, free refills!
Positive reviews
A must have – This is so easy to use and a must have item. As baby is on our room the change table is in there too. I have not been able to smell one thing! Easy to change the liner and it lasts nearly a week. We bought liners in bulk so we didn't run out.
Love it :) – I put off buying a proper nappy bin, but now that I am expecting for the second time (and extremely sensitive to smells at the moment!) We bought the munchkin. It is great and we can highly recommend. PS my intro number is KT1JSX229 if you'd like to claim more bags online
Very Happy With This Product – A friend said that this was one of the best nappy bins going around. Me being a first time mum and her a mum of 3 I took her word for it. I have nothing to compare it too but we are very happy with it. It holds the smell of nappies really well and I like that as you close the lid of the bin the bag twists closed to keep the smell in. It holds a… Read more
lot of nappies and I can never smell a thing.
My only complaint is that they have been out of stock of the refills bags for nearly 3 months!! Which means for my 6 months old half the time we havn't been able to use it which as frustrating. The refills bags when I could purchase them are also quiet expensive. However if it keeps the smell away I don't mind paying that bit extra for the bags.
I would recommend this nappy bin :)
Negative reviews
Very good system, bags are hard to come by and expensive – We bought this for our first child and it was fantastic as we bought a whole lot of bags to go with it. Now we have started using it again and run out of bags we just can't seem to get them anywhere as they have changed the design. Not sure if you can still get the old design, but I would recommend you try the new one as it does work if you can get the bags.
Average, design could be more user friendly – The bin contains the smell well - if you buy the bags which quickly add up to way more than the bin cost. About $2.50/bag! Closing the lid is noisy and it slams. The worst part is the door is flimsy and if you over fill the bin bag (to make it worth your while) it gets stuck when you try to remove it because the bin is round & the door is narrow. otherwise it is a handy item & keeps my pets out of it!
Contains smells well when the lid closes properly – This bin has a small foot print, holds lots of nappies and contains the smell well. However we find it really difficult to close the lid. It seems to get stuck while twisting the bag. The bags are expensive although I have found slightly cheaper bags on amazon. It is great that you can refill the odour control pod with bi carb soda rather than buying expensive replacement pods. Holds lots of nappies, contains smells Lid doesn't close smoothly

Handy for a new Mum – This product is fantastic for a newborn who needs so many nappy changes a day as I am sure most mums don’t want to be going out to the bin every 10 mins to dispose of wet nappies. I found once my children were bigger the scent buster didn’t really work well. And it was becoming harder to find a refill.
Ok but has drawbacks – A nappy bin is great to have in the nusery but mine has stopped dispensing the bicarb soda (compartment is full) and the bag refills just got a lot more expensive. No blue bags just new orange ones. So I'm Not sure if I would buy this nappy bin again.
Great disposal bin - really traps the smell inside! – I bought this great bin from Baby Bunting a few months ago and we love it. I wish I had bought it when my twins were first born (it would have saved a lot of gagging!!!). Easy to use. Well priced. Bags are easily to install and hold a good amount of nappies. Ease of use and price I'm having trouble buying refill bags at the moment as local baby stores are out of stock! Show reply

Very Happy on Munchkin nappy disposal bin – Very satisfied with our Munchkin nappy bin. My daughter is 20 months old and we have been using the bin since her birth. No odour whatsoever and very easy to switch bags over. The only complaint I have is that the refills are somewhat expensive in Target it is around $2 per bag which can hold about 20 nappies, but fortunately I am able to source… Read more · 5
very cheap compatible bags with only $0.9~$1 per bag. Very happy on this product. No smell and really easy to use. None
Did not deliver - disappointed – The first bin I used did not trap the smell. I thought perhaps it was faulty, but I had exactly the same problem with the second bin I exchanged it for. As more nappies went inside the bin, they gathered at the bottom, which made the door pop open (just 1cm... but it was enough to release that bad nappy smell and stink out the room!) I've used the… Read more
Tommee Tippee bin for 2 years and found it much more effective for odour control. Was hoping to find a cheaper refill alternative, but at this stage, I think Tommee Tippee is the most effective at trapping smells. Was disappointed that the marketing spin around Munchkin bins did not live up to the hype for me. I returned the second bin & got my money back. Also, the free refills promo has finished. only need one hand to use did not trap smell - therefore useless to me!
Not what it looks like in packaging – totally disappointed! I saw great reviews and bought the nappy bin. The product is two-toned, totally different from what it looks like on the packaging. It just looks cheap, on the contrary, it's very expensive! This is hard to continuously use as the bags are really expensive. there free refill promo is over. expensive refill bags, free refill bags promo is over, starts to stink after 6 months
Good product, does the job well – I've had the munchkin since my daughter started solids and I have been pleasantly surprised. It will hold around 20 crawler sized nappies and I have not once detected any odour coming from the bin even during very hot weather and when full. The only complaint I have is that the refills are somewhat expensive (around $20 for 10 - so about 10c per… Read more
nappy), so I only use the munchkin to dispose of dirty nappies, and throw wet ones into regular plastic bags. No smell and really easy to use. The refills are a bit expensive.
Free refill offer no longer running – Bought the munchkin based on wonderful reviews and the fact that you can redeem free refills. Got the unit home to find they are no longer running this promotion. I'll be returning the unit in the morning as I would rather a unit with minimal running costs. Shame really because otherwise looks like a great system.
Happy with Munchkin – We are delighted with our Munchkin nappy bin. Our son is 11 months old and we have been using the bin since birth. No odour whatsoever and very easy to switch bags over. It stands neatly in the corner out of the way. It can comfortably hold 15 - 20 nappies. Would definitely recommend!!
Great product, buy from UK online for a better deal – I read heaps of reviews and all roads pointed to Munchkin land. We bought ours from amazon UK and are really impressed with how easy it is to use and how well it contains all smell. We have visited quite a few friends using other bins which has only enforced how happy we are with Munchkin as our choice. Refills are a bit pricey but worth it for… Read more
how well the whole system works. Easy of use and ease of changing bags, great ability at stopping smells from nappies. The price in Australia is a bit of a high
Worth it! – First baby and really happy with the nappy disposal. No smell, easy to use and will definitely recommend it if you are a new parent. I thought I could just trow nappies in a normal garbage bin but the smell was terrible and also not very hygienic. Shop around as you can get it cheaper online! No fuss, easy to use.
Highly recommended for new mums – This nappy bin is excellent. The bags are inserted easily, and when it is full the bin does not close properly so you know when to replace it with a new one. The smell is gone instantly when the bin is shut. Feel free to use this code for a free refill J4T935L48. Easy to use, effective in minimizing smell A little pricey (but worth it!)

Love this bin! – This is the perfect solution for dirty nappies. The bag twists as you close the lid so that it locks in any smell - even in a warm room. I also like that I can replace the bicarb myself to save having to buy expensive refills as with other systems. Neat and tidy unit that holds a lot of nappies before having to replace the bag. Great customer… Read more
service from Munchkin too! Affordable, one handed operation of lid means that I can still have one hand on bub, use of natural bicarb rather than chemical cassettes. Quite pricey in Australia but managed to pick one up from the UK with minimal delivery costs.
Great system – A clever system that confines the odour inside a durable bag. The bag is automatically twisted each time a nappy is placed in the bag to seal in the air within the bag. The powder assists to neutralise odour. We can have the bin in our bedroom without any smell. Fantastic product! No lingering smell, easy to use, relatively inexpensive
Easy to use and super useful – I um'd and ah'd about buying a nappy bin and after much hunting around/research decided to go with the munchkin. Absolutely no regrets, a good size stores plenty of nappies so only have to empty every 4 or so days. No smell what so ever. My mum thought it was an unnecessary purchase until she used it, then claimed it was the best idea and wish they had been around in her day. easy to use refills are expensive
Munchkin nappy bin – I just purchased this bin and love it. I have a basset hound that just loves to run upstairs any chance he gets and chews up the nappies especially the dirty ones. The munchkin nappy bin has stopped this completely, he still runs upstairs and sniffs around but then just leaves the room. Please use my redemption code 882870987 you will receive a… Read more
free nappy bin refills if you use this code after the purchase of your munchkin nappy bin. Just love this bin and no more smelly nursery.
Must have for Nursery – This nappy bin is great! We sit it beside our change table and it means we don't have to worry about leaving bubs or taking smelly nappies to the bin. I usually find the bag is full in 4-5 days. It keeps the odour out and is easy to use and change the bag over. The bags say they hold up to 250 nappeis (I do not fit that many - probably 100)… Read more
but I'm still happy. Keep an eye out for it to go on sale at Target. I picked mine up halfprice for $40. Don't have to take the nappies out to bin, odourless, easy to use and change the bags over. the bin liners are a bit expensive. 10 bags cost $21.95
Easy, odourless nappy bin worth every penny! – We have been using the Munchkin Nappy Disposal for 3 weeks now for our newborn baby and love everything about it. It is so easy to use with just an open and close of the lid, changing bags is simple, looks neat and tidy and I have yet to smell dirty nappies. The bin itself was reasonably priced for what it offers, we paid $80 at Target and the… Read more
bags are a little on the expensive side, however they can be picked up on special for a reasonable price, although I would happily pay a bit more for such a great nappy bin. Easy, odourless, looks good.
The perfect nappy disposer! – The Munchkin nappy disposal unit is a must have! It is so easy to use, odour free, a great size with ample nappy capacity, and it looks better than an ordinary dust bin! It saves so much time and is very convenient - no more frequent trips to the outdoor bin with dirty nappies....maybe just one visit every 5 days! Convenience, timesaver, odourfree Refills are a bit on the expensive side....
Munchkin a big hit – I've never used a nappy disposal system, however as a first time mum thought it was a must. This one seemed reasonably priced (got it for $60 from target...have since seen it on sale there for $40: Douh!), well designed (easy to use) and keeps smells at bay (thanks to the Bicarb). It's easy to open/close with one hand and being white really… Read more
would suit any room.
Here & there I have noticed it smelling, but that was when the lid was open & it had been a hot day.
All in all I really like this product.
I stock up on the refills whe they are on sale: around $14 (Note: when you find them on sale you can go to ToysRus who stock them & they have a price beat guarantee [10%])
Finally a nappy bin that works!! – The Munchkin Nappy Bin is fantastic! I have always been a fan of using Bicarb around the home and it works just as effectively in this bin. The refills are more economical than other brands as well. The one handed opening lid is handy when trying to wrestle with a baby and a dirty nappy and as soon as the bag is full it is extremely easy to… Read more
remove and replace the bags. The bags are available in Target and Babies R Us and can also be bought online.
I would recommend this nappy bin to anyone looking for a product that effectively traps odours and isn't difficult to use or set up. Really stops the usual smells of a nappy bin, looks great in my nursery too.
Excellent nappy disposal system – I've been pleasantly surprised with how effective this system is - the odour removal is very effective and each refill lasts about a week. I got it for $55 at Toys R Us which I thought was a great bargain. Anyone who has the system and is redeeming their free refills is welcome to use my code 6999F46N5 - Munchkin will send you an extra refill (and send me one too!) Very easy to use, effective odour removal Show 3 replies
Great baby buy – This is a great thing to have in your nursery- totally odour free concealment. Easy to use, looks good, no smell at all- what more can you ask of a nappy bin? Bags I buy at Target when they have 25% off. Have gone through 2.5 packs in 9 weeks so not too bad No smell, looks good, easy use
Odour free nappy changing! – Really pleased with the purchase of our munchkin nappy disposal system. The bin makes easy changing because there is always somewhere handy to put used nappies. I've found it has been holding about a week's worth of newborn nappies - over 25 nappies with no smell whatsoever. And getting it out to the garbage is simple. For those thinking of… Read more
purchasing a munchkin bin or bin refills here is my free refill code 7EMAX5ZHB which you can use to get free refill bags for the bin system. If you do I will also get a free refill so we will both be saving! Ease of use, no smell, compact size.
Great Nappy Bin!! – I've been using nappy bin for 6 months and love it. No smells and very easy to use and clean out. The refills are so expensive at $21, if you go to Amazon and order to Australia, it's $10 a bag (this includes 10 bags) including delivery. Definitely recommend this!! I should add that it is also cheaper to buy the actual bin on amazon with… Read more · 1
