How to dispose diaper pants?

No matter if you are on vacation, taking a trip to the mall with your baby or just chilling with your munchkin at home, your baby will be soiling diaper pants just the same. You might be accustomed to changing diaper pants by now, but do you know How to dispose diapers pants at home? If newborn diaper pants still contain human waste, it becomes extremely important to dispose of them correctly, or they might become a health hazard. Till date more than a hundred bacteria have been found in the human excreta, imagine another pandemic just because some diapers were not disposed as they should have been.

How To Dispose Diapers Pants At Home

1. If there’s poop in the diaper, try emptying it in a toilet first. This will reduce the odour, bacterial growth and make the job of sanitation workers who empty the dustbins later a little easier. The fecal matter should not end up in landfills.
2. If it’s possible, keep an entirely separate dust bin for diaper disposals and clean this bin frequently.
3. Most tape style diapers have sticky tabs, use these to wrap the diaper tightly around itself and prevent any spillage from it.
4. If you’re out, use an extra layer of newspaper to wrap the diaper.
5. Carry a plastic bag with you, in case there are no garbage cans around to dispose the diapers into.
6. Disposing pant style diapers is not too different. Follow these same steps to dispose pant style diapers, too, except step three.
7. What not to do with used diapers? Burn them. Burning diapers can release dangerous gases as diapers contain plastic and dioxins, and often diapers do not burn in a single go and have to be lit again or buried after burning.

Always wash your hands and sanitize them thoroughly after disposing of a diaper. We don’t want any bacteria getting on your baby and spreading nasty infections. It’s best not to take any risks while handling a baby because their immune systems are not as strong yet, so, check your hygiene habits.
