When LO was in disposables - for the first 2 months - we used it with regular white kitchen garbage bags. We've been cloth diapering for 9 months now, and there is no stink "baked" into the pail because it's stainless steel. The lid keeps the poo stink contained, and the lock is essential. I've caught LO trying to open the lid several times! A couple of things I do to prevent smells are to put a charcoal deodorizer inside the lid, and dump solid poo in the toilet. His room has never smelled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails/page/2#post-2480989 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 06:25:57 +0000 extrasprinkles 2480989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Ubbi person here! I'm a big fan and feel it does the job well. I do change the bag pretty frequently -- it's a great product but I don't think anything out there could mask the smell of lots of poopy diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails/page/2#post-2480861 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:45:59 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2480861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Dekor and it works well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails/page/2#post-2480714 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 20:58:24 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2480714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ubbi for sure.

I empty the bin out every night and there is no smell in the room. Every few days I give it a good wipe down with anti bacterial wipes, and take it outside for a spray of anti-bac scent spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480401 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:29:28 +0000 rattles 2480401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have one until 9 months. That was fine if we took the diapers out daily, but even then, it was pretty stinky once solids started. We then got a Diaper Genie. It contained the stink well enough, but it went through refills really quickly and broke after 6 months. We've had the Dekor Plus for 2 years (through the addition of our second and potty training of our first) now and are happy with it. The refills last so much longer. I think we change it every 6 months or so? It does stink when you open it, even though we flush poop. I think daily take-outs are the only work around for that. We keep it in the bathroom and have no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480392 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:27:10 +0000 ShootingStar 2480392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 diaper genies in our house. Two for diapers, one for dog poop bags. I think they do a pretty good job of containing the smells. Our garbage is just too far away to put it in the big can for every poopy diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480376 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:18:17 +0000 Alivoo01 2480376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it!!

Both contain the smell pretty well, though the nursery has been a little more smelly recently (I assume from just when I open the can) so I've been dumping the poop in the toilet when possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480163 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:18:59 +0000 JK 2480163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So worth it!

My sister has it and loved it (she uses it with cloth diapers though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480113 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 13:58:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2480113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a diaper genie and it's fine. Nothing special and when we don't take it out often enough of course it stinks, but much better than a regular garbage can. We buy the refills from Amazon or Costco. Even if you don't need special refills you are still paying for whatever bag you use unless it's a grocery store bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480110 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 13:56:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2480110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used to have a diaper genie, hated it and threw it away after DD1. now we use regular trash bags in a flip top trashcan and I think it contains the smell. I will say I usually take poopy diapers outside regardless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2480094 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 13:52:18 +0000 HabesBabe 2480094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had a legit diaper pail. When we CD for our first, I used a stainless steel trashcan with a wetbag. When we switched to disposables, I just threw each diaper out in our big trashcan outside. We live in a house and the big can is about 10 feet away from the back door, and it doesn't rain hardly ever, so it's not a big deal to get it out of the house completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479986 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:47:23 +0000 JenGirl 2479986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two diaper Genies (one on each floor) and we love them! Thus far, the contain the smells great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479983 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:44:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2479983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing on the re-fills if you go that way... I find that one ring of it lasts us a good amount of time! I stocked up before DD was born and 15 months later I still haven't had to re-buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479920 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:16:53 +0000 BadgerMom 2479920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: I love our Ubbi. We do 90/10 cloth/disposable and we've been using the Ubbi with a wet bag insert since day one for the cloth diapers and a little step trash can for the disposables and wipes. I actually finally bit the bullet and got a second Ubbi for trash last week because I liked it so much and it does such a better job at containing the smell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479916 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:15:36 +0000 looch 2479916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poop smells, there is no escaping that fact and I am always so surprised when people don't smell the stink in their kid's rooms. We had a fancy one that used those bags that make a diaper sausage and it reeked when we opened it.</p> <p>I think the best thing is to flush poop when you can, and then dispose of diapers in smaller bags that you take out to the trash every other day or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479914 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:15:13 +0000 josina 2479914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Munchkin diaper pail as well. Love it because it keeps the smell contained although it smells awful when opened (and full), I just shut it as fast as possible. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479906 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:11:35 +0000 SweetiePie 2479906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose "use and love". I have the Munchkin diaper pail with arm &amp; hammer. It works really well and it's pretty cheap ($40 I think). The only time we get a whiff is if it's pretty full and we open it or when we change the bag. But even then it's bearable. The room never just stinks because we have a diaper pail.<br /> We had an Ubbi because everyone said they were great and I figured more $$$ meant it would be. But I was really disappointed. There's no mechanism to block the older diapers when you open it, it's basically a garbage can with a lid. I spent the $80 and gave it away after a week. </p> <p>Oh and we definitely started flushing his poop lately (when not too messy) and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY. We barely even smell anything when we change the bag now. I think it's also teaching him where the poop should go because he watches me dump it and we shut the lid together, flush, and wash hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479864 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:56:03 +0000 hilsy85 2479864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: yes totally! I've had ours for 2 years and it looks brand new also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479850 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:50:46 +0000 jape14 2479850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: DS is 18 months and so far I'd say the Ubbi is definitely worth it, between being able to use regular trash bags and being able to lock it if needed. I think the upfront cost is something like $80 (may be able to use BBB coupon - not sure though) but in my mind, there's no extra cost after that bc I'm already buying regular trash bags anyway. (I guess there's a marginal extra cost but I don't have time for that kind of math!) I anticipate us being able to use it for as many kids as we have, so $80 divided out over the potential 7 or more years we'll have kids in diapers seems like a pretty minimal cost to me. Plus, I like that it's cute and matches the decor in the nursery :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479836 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:42:09 +0000 Charm54 2479836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I def saved $ in the long run.</p> <p>Diaper genie was $35, and each refill was 7$. I needed a new refill every couple of weeks (as they got older it seemed like I was changing the thing all the time). If you use it for two years that's over $300 in just the refills!</p> <p>Ubbi was an upfront cost of $75 but no need to buy refills. Amazing. I got sick of paying for refills so got an Ubbi when I had my dd2. Its already paid for itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479823 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:36:32 +0000 BSB 2479823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I know Dekor sells cloth bags but it fits Planet wise diaper liners and I think I might have a regular diaper liner (not from Planet wise). They all work well with my Dekor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479820 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:34:54 +0000 BSB 2479820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a two dekor plus diaper pails and I think it's great. I bought ours used. I think $40 for two pails. It works great for us and our cloth diapers.</p> <p>We use one for cloth diapers and other for regular trash. I love the one for regular trash that you can tie of the amount of bag you want. Hardly any bag waste.</p> <p>You can use regular trash bags with it if you don't want to pay for refills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-diaper-pails#post-2479819 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:34:28 +0000 sapphire 2479819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that there are a lot of good options, but that an actual diaper pail is essential. We have a Diaper Genie and it has worked well for us. </p>
