Gone are the days of your baby's room smelling like a garbage can after a nappy change.

Being a parent is a lot of hard work, especially when your baby is still in the nappy phase and you feel like you're changing nappies one hundred times a day.

A nappy disposal bin will make life as a new parent much easier, giving you a hygienic, smell-free disposal option that means you won't have to make a trip to the bin every time your baby has to go.

Nappy disposal bins are the perfect solution for trapping the not-so-pleasant odours that come from your baby's dirty nappies. While you can always take your child's dirty nappies straight to the big bin outside, we think nappy bins are the way to go to save you hassle and give you one less thing to do.

There is a whole world of nappy bins that are designed to trap odour, address the hygiene issues of nappy disposal and make life as a parent easier in general.

The best nappy bin will make disposal easy, keep nasty smells at bay and ideally will be designed so you don't have to deal directly with the dirty nappies when you do eventually take them out to the regular bin. This means the nappies will be individually wrapped or contained in a sturdy liner.

Nappy bins are usually smaller in size than regular bins and come in a range of sleek designs that allow them to blend in easily into your home.

When choosing a nappy bin, the best nappy bins will be made from durable materials that won't absorb the smell. It is also great if you can find a nappy disposal bin with a child lock, particularly as your baby begins to walk around and explore.

Even the best nappy disposal system can start to smell if not properly taken care of. It is important to empty them when they are full and clean them regularly. Depending on the nappy bin you choose, make sure to line them with bin liners that fit the nappy bin properly.

With so many nappy disposal options available, we've done the hard work for you and made this list of our favourite nappy bins.

The nappy bins on our list have genius technology and easy to use designs, so you can rest easy knowing that no nasty smells will be seeping out of your nappy disposal system.

Whether you're using cloth nappies, need a bin on the go or want somewhere to store your dirty nappies at home, we've got a nappy bin that will suit your needs and make your life easier.

We've even included a nappy bin that fits in your purse, meaning you're ready for any situation that may come your way.

If you're looking for ways to make life with so many nappies more convenient, hygienic and better for the environment, why not check out our list of the best eco nappies that help you do your bit for the planet, and the best biodegradable baby wipes that are eco-friendly.
