But the elite NOT the original! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812974 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 23:05:25 +0000 Mirage 1812974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks south everyone! It's so nice to hear from<br /> people that have actually used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812969 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:51:51 +0000 marionberry 1812969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love ours! It definitely doesn't last as long between refills now that J is almost one but it works great and lasts forever with newborns. We'll be getting another one for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812967 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:48:21 +0000 autumnlove 1812967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812966 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:47:41 +0000 emg86 1812966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big yes. The whole eating solids and toddler poop phase are just way too stinky and I'm too lazy to put her diapers in a bag to go dump in the garbage multiple times a day--my kid poops 3-4x a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812964 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:43:30 +0000 ladybee 1812964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812962 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:37:56 +0000 Bao 1812962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a nay for me. I think they still stink so prefer to put diapers in grocery bags and straight outside to the trash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812961 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:36:22 +0000 Corduroy 1812961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for me. We ran out of refills this weekend when my parents came to babysit. I didn't think they would care at all because they are very minimalist types. To my surprise they ran out and bought us refills. I guess they like it even more than we do. </p> <p>On the plus side, now that LO is a toddler and getting into everything I like knowing she can't just open the lid and grab a poopy diaper while I'm in the other room. I don't know if that's a legit fear for lidded trash cans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812950 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:27:36 +0000 Emsmems 1812950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wasn't so sure I wanted one so I got one super cheap at a consignment sale. I'm glad I did. I think it's the best thing for our nursery. When we change diapers downstairs we just throw it in the regular trash, but it gets taken out pretty frequently. I would go with yes, but see if you can get it cheap since they are everywhere! (or free I guess if someone gifts it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812941 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:18:36 +0000 ALV91711 1812941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like that it containers the odour. We started out using a regular garbage, which was fine, but once he was eating real food it wasn't enough and his room was starting to smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812935 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:13:55 +0000 jhd 1812935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Arm &amp; Hammer Munchkin diaper pail. I think I replace the bag twice per week now that our LO is three months old. I'm really glad we got it. It contains the odor and generally makes things easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812933 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:11:53 +0000 wonderstruck 1812933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Seems to be one of those things that just really depends on the person, but for me it was way more simple/easy/less smelly than any of the other methods of getting rid of diapers. Ours broke after like a year, and when we didn't buy a new one right away DH and I really missed having it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812932 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:10:32 +0000 filly 1812932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have twins and for me YES.</p> <p>Let me share this: I wanted the DEKOR. I got the DEKOR and thought it was the most wonderful thing bc it held a ton of diapers. Well, once they [child] start solids it DOES NOT CONTAIN THE ODOR. We got rid of it and got the Arm &amp; Hammer Munchkin diaper pail, its great but sadly for us it doesn't hold a lot of diapers. </p> <p>At the moment we have the Diaper Genie upstairs in the girls bedroom and the Arm &amp; Hammer pail in our downstairs office changing station!</p> <p>My vote = YES the diaper genie, while not the prettiest, is in fact the one that gets the job best done!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812931 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:10:16 +0000 JennyG 1812931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nay! We got one and have used it maybe twice. It was easier for us to just use a trash can and empty it when it got stinky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-genie-yay-or-nay#post-1812927 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:05:13 +0000 Mirage 1812927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey! So is the diaper genie worth the money? Is it a must have? Does it really work?</p> <p>Thanks! I will be a FTM due in October and I'm trying to decipher the must haves. </p>
