CarePoint disposable pull-ups rolled and sealed for hygienic disposal

How to Dispose of Adult Diapers Discreetly (Without the Smell or Embarrassment)


Discretion doesn’t end after use

Whether you use incontinence underwear, pull-ups, or pads, dealing with used products can feel awkward. The goal is to stay clean, keep odors contained, and manage waste without drawing attention.


1. Seal before you bin

Always roll used pull-ups or diapers tightly, tape or tuck the sides in, and seal them in a small plastic or biodegradable disposal bag. That single step locks in odor and keeps things hygienic until you empty the bin.

If you’re using CarePoint pull-ups, the thin but durable design means less bulk — easier to roll, seal, and store neatly.


2. Choose the right bin for the job

Use a small lidded bin with a foot pedal and inner liner. Keep it in the bathroom or laundry, somewhere discreet but easy to clean. Empty it daily if possible, or more often in warmer weather.


3. Odor control without chemicals

A sprinkle of baking soda or charcoal odor absorber at the base of the bin works wonders. Skip perfumed sprays — they mix poorly with plastic and can actually trap smells.


4. Keep your routine private

If you share a flat or care environment, line a second bag around the inside of the bin so you can lift and tie it quickly — no lingering or rummaging. Dispose of sealed bags in the outside bin on collection day, not before visitors arrive.


5. Discreet delivery, start to finish

CarePoint ships all incontinence supplies in plain, unmarked boxes. No one needs to know what’s inside, and every parcel is handled by trusted NZ couriers.
From delivery to disposal, we protect your comfort and privacy the whole way.


A small routine that makes a big difference

Good hygiene isn’t about overcomplicating things. A consistent routine — seal, store, empty — keeps your home odor-free and your confidence intact.
CarePoint’s discreet packaging and high-absorbency pull-ups make managing incontinence simpler, cleaner, and less stressful every day.
