Heka and Thoth telescopic bins

Set up

Lift the lid off, drop any bag or a Magic bag into the holder and tuck the top of the bag under the rim so the seal can close over it. Put the lid back on until it clicks.

Every change

Drop the nappy in the opening and turn the top. The drum swings it into the sealed part of the bin and the wave seal closes behind it, so nothing gets out. Always bring the top back to the resting position after a change.

Need more room

Twist the base to extend the bin. It grows in height as the nappies pile up and collapses again for storage, travel or the car.

Changing the bag

Press the side button and lift the whole top off. Twist the bag a couple of times, tie it, and lift it out. Drop a new bag in and you're done. The Heka M is the medium size; the Heka L and Thoth L are the large ones.

Majestic

Every change

The Majestic sits in the open, stand-by position so you can drop the nappy straight into the opening. Turn the handle forward and back and the nappy is in the sealed, odourless part of the bin. Always leave it in stand-by so no smell escapes.

Changing the bag

Press the small side button to release the top, lift it off with the bag, twist the bag a few times and tear it from the holder.

Which bag

Every Magic bin takes an ordinary plastic bag. The Magic bin bag is the one made for the seal: three layers, no leaks, no smell, and made from recycled plastic.

After the nappy years

Add a bathroom lid and the bin carries on as a regular waste bin — Magic's own "2nd life" for the range that has one.
