Ubbi Diaper Pail Is Your Best Bet for Cleaning Up Stinky Situations

What's This?

Diaper duty doesn't have to be so dangerous anymore.

The Ubbi Diaper Pail is about as high-tech as it gets when it comes to the dirty job of changing your baby's diaper.

Made out of powder-coated steel, the Ubbi stands out from the plastic of most other pails. This might not seem like a big deal at first, but consider that plastic absorbs odor and metal doesn't.

Another neat feature is that the Ubbi is compatible with any garbage bag in your house. That's not the case with the Diaper Genie or Munchkin's Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail, which require specially fitted bags that can get pricey. The bags cost around $30 for a pack of three, and you'll go through them in six months or less; this means you would end up spending more on bag refills for the entirety of your baby's diapering life than you would on the Ubbi Pail itself, which costs $79.

If you prefer cloth diapers, the Ubbi also provides the option of purchasing a cloth-diaper liner for $15.

It also has a lock on the top, so your little one can't find their way in. However, only the diaper-disposal port locks, so kids can still lift the lid. While that section doesn't contain anything messy, it would still be nice if the entire pail locked. What's more, the childproof lock was a bit difficult for even adults to manage, so you may have to wrestle with it a bit.

This pail comes in a variety of colors, including hot pink and pistachio, so you can have fun matching it to your home decor.

All in all, the Ubbi is a great parenting hack for those of you looking for a way to clean up the dirty business of dirty diapers.
