Moms- diaper genie?

Do I really need a diaper genie?

P.S. please tell me when my baby related posts get annoying.

Re: Moms- diaper genie?

  • NEED? Probably not. Is it convenient? Heck yea! Unless you want to constantly be taking out your regular trash to prevent the diaper smell from penetrating the can and your house. It's tightly sealed to prevent odor in the room and we only have to empty it out once a week on trash day.

    Oh, and baby related posts are not annoying, at least not to me. But I know what you mean. I have felt that way too.

  • We have a 2 story house and I wish I would've got 2. I have it upstairs in the nursery and to me...it is a necessity. It saves me to only need to take it out when it's full. It NEVER gets stinky. I love it.

    For downstairs, we just throw her diapers in the trash under the sink. It's really small and since it's behind a closed door it doens't get too stinky. But now that cabinet reaks.

  • We have 2, 1 upstairs in Sarah's room and another downstairs in the family room.  Totally worth it!

    We have a diaper dekor and empty once per week. ?When we first started going up north to see my parents, I told them not to worry about it and they just bought a flip lid trash can. ?We had to empty that thing twice a day, it stunk so bad. ?They ended up buying a diaper genie as well.?

  • I second what Irma said - necessary, probably not, but I love it!!
  • We have the diaper champ, it uses regular trash bags. Do we need it? No. But I am glad to have it. I think it really helps, but I guess the real test is when DD starts eating solids. You could but a regular trash can with a good lid.
  • Mrs. R-ask away!  I received one from my shower and I love it so much I still remember who gifted it to me.  We have a two level house but only have one in the nursery.  I love how it contains odor.  And again, we only have to empty it on trash day.
  • Okay, on the registry it goes!

    Thanks ladies. I don't really know how they work so I thought it was just a super fancy trash can. I didn't think about the "scent" of diapers.

  • don't stop posting questions :) they are helping me out hehehe i am storing all this info in my brain as we speak hehehe
  • Like Sher, we have the Diaper Champ. ?I love that you don't have to buy special refills for it - -you can just use regular plastic bags. ?Although, just recently I saw that they sell 'Diaper Champ bags' at BRU, never tried it since the regular plastic bags work fine for us.

    We have 2 since we have a 2 story home.?

  • I Used one for a while, but the smell was so awful. A trash can worked just fine for us. We seriously didn't need half the gadgets we received.
