Hours later DH will go to use the hallway bathroom & he cant...He gets so mad lol mrskc on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1625350 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:04:20 +0000 mrskc 1625350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH takes poop diapers straight out to the trashcan outside. I'm more lazy and I set them on top of the chest freezer in the garage (because it's right by the door). Then DH will throw them out for me. lol cascademom on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1625274 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:25:19 +0000 cascademom 1625274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We only have one LO at the moment, but my husband does the same thing with the diapers. I'm convinced that it's his natural flightiness inherited from his parents. I have to constantly remind him to clean up the diapers. Otherwise, we use a Diaper genie for the dipes.

What usually ends up happening is that we change the bag more often. We use just regular kitchen garbage bags rather than the refills since it's cheaper.

But trying to avoid the passive aggressive route on this one :happy: @swurlygurl: Ha! I wish my husband was a little more like that. I don't think he's ever gotten pissed enough to do any sort of housework. He helps out, but usually at my request, not out of his own motivation @hellobeeboston: It's so frustrating! I guess I'm just going to have to start using our Dekor again. It still was smelly but not. As bad as this! hellobeeboston on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624804 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:46:27 +0000 hellobeeboston 1624804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Amelieisme: ugh! My husband does the same thing!! So annoying, but we don't have a trash barrel in there anymore so I need to get something. We don't let the diapers stay in the house too long, we usually bag and bring them out right away! If we have another LO ill get a fancy diaper pail. fancyfunction on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624792 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:43:24 +0000 fancyfunction 1624792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We reuse all the plastic bags we get at the store. I'll pile in a few wet ones then throw the bag in the outside trash. If it's a particularly bad #2, it goes out right away. :) sunny on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624785 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:42:45 +0000 sunny 1624785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We flush what we can and then the diaper gets wrapped up and put in the diaper genie! I don't think it smells! looch on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624782 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:41:13 +0000 looch 1624782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Amelieisme: I bet he wouldn't be forgetful if he all of a sudden saw dirty diapers on his pillow at night! I appreciate the effort, but when my husband does stuff like this, I have to remind him that his help creates extra work for me! 2PeasinaPod on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624777 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:39:54 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1624777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All diapers go in the diaper genie that is right next to all of the diaper changing stuff. We'll take turns taking that out once it's full. swurlygurl on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624764 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:37:34 +0000 swurlygurl 1624764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha, I have to laugh because this is my problem. We CD, and are supposed to put the diapers in a wet bag. I usually just start stacking them on top of the washing machine until DH gets pissed off enough to deal with them himself. So, from the perspective of the forgetful spouse - I apologize!!! :) Amelieisme on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624662 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:12:43 +0000 Amelieisme 1624662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: @MsLipGloss: I would Never be able to get him to flush solids. He won't even wrap the diapers up... It's not malicious. He is just super forgetful. @hilsy85: I bought some bags today to see if I can get him to tie it in a bag at least. What I always do is wrap it well. Lay it on a surface close to the stairs and take it when I go downstairs, which is usually right after putting him to bed or changing him. I don't get why that's hard? @looch: We actually have one downstairs too. A pack n play which is set up to be a changing station. He will leave them there too, but he does a lot of changes in his room since he is usually about to put LO to bed.

We have t really had any issues so far with stink (EBF), but I think I need to get a plan in place pretty quick! looch on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624570 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:43:07 +0000 looch 1624570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Would it be an option to move your diaper changing station to somewhere else so it's easier to take care of the dirties?

There's no smell (even with toddler diapers) as long as it's closed.

At work I throw the pee ones in a small trashcan I take out everyday and walk poops out to the dumpster right away.

We don't have any smell issues! hilsy85 on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624502 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:22:00 +0000 hilsy85 1624502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pee diapers go in the diaper pail, poo diapers go into plastic bags (like grocery bags) and down our garbage chute (we live in an apt building). I am sometimes guilty of letting a poop diaper (in a bag) hang on the door handle for a little bit! :( Freckles on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624491 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:18:52 +0000 Freckles 1624491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We use disposables/cloth. Even if it's a disposable, we dump the poop in the toilet (unless it's super runny) and then put it in the diaper genie. Sometimes we'll put it in the trash if we know we're going to be taking out the garbage that day. I would not be happy if DH left the diapers like that! autumnlove on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624438 Fri, 09 May 2014 11:59:33 +0000 autumnlove 1624438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I flush solid logs and then I put the diapers in the Diaper Genie. Runny poop goes in the Genie right away. We don't use disposables FT so I only change it about 1-2 a month with no smell issues...at least I think it doesn't smell! :P Amelieisme on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624437 Fri, 09 May 2014 11:59:13 +0000 Amelieisme 1624437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ And, yes, that's a poopy one on top that doesn't even have the tabs closed to seal the contents. Sheesh! So gross Amelieisme on "How do you dispose of diapers?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dispose-of-diapers#post-1624434 Fri, 09 May 2014 11:58:04 +0000 Amelieisme 1624434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have an ongoing issue regarding diaper disposal with DH. We used to use the diaper dekor, but once LO started solids, it really started stinking. So we decided to just carry the diapers (downstairs) to the garage trash can. BUT DH hardly ever does it which means I walk into LO's room and there are diapers piled up. The problem had been exacerbated by the birth of LO2 and that many more diapers. Plus, DH is doing more of LO1's diaper changes. The picture below was this morning. So what is YOUR system (especially those with toddlers). Do you have trouble getting DH to comply?
