Quick answer
Choose the Angelcare Octagonal Refill if you have an octagonal pail and want the highest capacity (up to 210 nappies). Choose the Round Refill if you own a round pail and prefer a lower upfront cost per refill.
Why capacity matters for busy parents
Fewer refill changes mean less hassle during late-night nappy swaps. The octagonal refill holds up to 210 size 1 nappies — that's 35 more than the round refill's 175. For a newborn going through 10–12 nappies a day, that extra capacity translates into one less refill change every few days.
Compatibility: the deal-breaker
The round refill only fits Angelcare round diaper pails. The octagonal refill is designed for octagonal pails, such as the Classic XL model. If you already own a pail, your refill choice is predetermined. If you're buying a new system, the Classic XL bin includes one octagonal refill, so you can start using it immediately.
