A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Best Nappy Pail for Your Cloth Nappies

Choosing the Right Nappy Bucket for Your Reusable Nappies

Consider the size of the nappy bucket: a 14-16 litre capacity is ideal for storing dirty cloth nappies until wash day. For famililes with more than one child in cloth nappies consider either two nappy buckets or a great nappy bin for bigger families is the larger Motherease nappy bucket.

Look for a lockable nappy bucket lid to keep dirty nappies secure, little monkeys out and prevents odours from escaping. Tots Bots bucket lid clips securely in place with four locks but is easy for an adult to take on and off with one hand.

Check which size mesh bag or laundry mesh bags fit into your nappy bucket for easy transfers to the washing machine

Consider the brand: Tots Bots is our most popular choice of nappy bucket for cloth nappy users. It can be used with Totsbots Reusable Nappies but also all other nappy brands.
