Is the Ubbi Steel Nappy Bin worth the extra over the Tommee Tippee Twist & Click?

You want any-bag flexibility and a bin you can still use after nappies end. Meanwhile, you want each nappy sealed in film and you will keep buying cassettes.

Head to head

Ubbi vs Tommee Tippee Twist & Click

The two nappy-bin philosophies: a steel can versus a cassette that wraps every nappy. Both work. Only one locks you into branded film.

Ubbi Steel Nappy Bin

From £40

9.5/10

A powder-coated steel can with a child-proof lid that takes any bag. No cassette, no film, no brand lock-in. The nappy bin you can still use as a bin when nappies end. Owners keep it because the economics stay honest.

Choose if: You want any-bag flexibility and a bin you can still use after nappies end.

Tommee Tippee Twist & Click

Cheaper

From £20 (plus cassettes)

9.1/10

The cassette system that twists a film seal around each nappy. Best-in-class smell containment if you keep buying cassettes. The starter tub is cheap; the year of film is not. Buy it with your eyes open on running cost.

Choose if: You want each nappy sealed in film and you will keep buying cassettes.

Our verdict

Buy the Ubbi unless smell between weekly empties is the hill you will die on and you accept cassette prices. If you resent proprietary bags, do not start with Twist & Click.
