All three Magic bins share the same drop-and-turn, odour-free wave seal. Nothing about how the seal works changes between them. What changes is capacity, footprint and price, and that's really the whole decision.
Best for maximum capacity: Heka L, 40L, holds approx. 45 nappies
Best for tight spaces: Thoth, 28L, same height as Heka but a slimmer footprint
Best for lowest entry price: Majestic, 20L, from $119.95
Same across all three: The drop-and-turn wave-seal mechanism

*Nappy capacity depends on nappy size — figures are approximate, based on newborn/infant sizing. Expect fewer nappies per bin as your baby (and their nappies) grow.
Choose Heka If...
- You want the biggest capacity in the range — 40L, fewer bag changes
- You've got the floor space — 28.5cm is the widest footprint of the three
- You want the option to give it a 2nd life as a bathroom bin once the nappy years are done
Choose Thoth If...
- You're tight on space — same telescopic height as Heka, but a 24cm slimline footprint
- You want a starter kit — ships with a bag roll and dispenser included
- You still want the 2nd life bathroom lid option later
Choose Majestic If...
- You want the lowest entry price in the range, from $119.95
- A compact, fixed-height bin suits your space better than a taller telescopic one
- You don't need the 2nd life lid option — Majestic doesn't have one
What Doesn't Change Between Them
Every Magic bin uses the same wave-seal mechanism and works with any standard bin liner, or Magic's own bag for a guaranteed seal. All three are made from 100% recycled, GRS-traceable material, and all three carry the same 1 year warranty backed by Coolkidz Australia.
FAQs
Heka or Thoth for a small bathroom?
Thoth — same drop-and-turn mechanism as Heka, but a 24cm slimline footprint instead of 28.5cm, in the same telescopic height.
Which Magic bin holds the most nappies?
Heka L, at 40L capacity, holds approximately 45 nappies (newborn/infant sizing). Thoth holds approximately 35, and Majestic approximately 25.
Can I convert any Magic bin into a household bin later?
Heka and Thoth both have an optional bathroom lid accessory ($34.95) for exactly that. Majestic doesn't currently have a lid accessory.
Is the entry-level Majestic missing anything important?
No — it uses the same drop-and-turn wave seal as Heka and Thoth. It's simply fixed-height rather than telescopic, smaller in capacity, and doesn't have a 2nd-life lid option.
