I think expectations are too high. We have a diaper genie and it's fine. Nothing great but it hold diapers. It helps contain the smell except when we dot empty it for too long. Meh.

I really like the diaper genie. Nothing else holds the stink.

We like our Munchkin Arm & Hammer.

I think people have unrealistic expectations of their diaper pails.

We just have an ikea trash can with an air freshener stuck on top, and we take it out frequently.

We also have the Munchkin Arm and Hammer. Honestly, I love it. I did not have high expectations, but it's pretty great. You can't smell it at all when it's closed.

We bought a Dekor pail at Target and love it so far. I wanted something with a foot pedal and it is easy to empty and contains the smell so far. It can also double as a regular trash can in the future.

I second @troberts1021's comments on the Dekor Plus. I bought it because it was at my Target for $10 (online only returned to store) but it actually does a good job holding in the smell. There was a period where the diapers definitely stunk (it smelled when we put a diaper in) but the room never smelled, even with the door closed when we weren't in there.

My LO is 6 weeks and EBF.

Nope. We put all poopy diapers into a plastic bag, knot it and put it directly outside in the trash can with our dog poops too. We have the diaper champ and for just pee dipes it's fine.

We are happy with our Dekor so far, but we are only eight weeks in and we have a 100% breastmilk-fed baby. So there is a lot is opportunity for the odor situation to devolve.

I love my ubbi so far! Pricey but no smells and no special bags.

@ElbieKay: oh man I miss the days of breast fed baby poops!! I don't remember them being stinky at all! Nowadays, however....

What really worked for us is using plain old freezer bags. We wrap all her poopy diapers in them and use a normal (small) trash can with lid. When she was younger and didn't eat solids, we had the Korbell diaper bin that we loved. We got the Angelcare one for free and thought it was pretty useless since the seal wasn't as tight.

I think the Ubbi is great. I realize how great it is every time I slide open the top to put another diaper in, and really get to smell what's going on in there!

We have the Ubbi and love it. It uses regular trash bags and doesn't smell at all when closed. We flush the poop so it doesn't stink when open but if you don't flush the poop you will get hit with a wall of stank when you open it to put in a new diaper.

@ElbieKay: We have the Dekor.......just wait! There is no masking that solid poop smell

We had a Diaper Genie, but it didn't even contain the pee smell - let alone the poop. It stinks and barely holds any diapers, so we bought a regular step-open trash can for pee diapers. We put the poops in a plastic bag and put them in the outside trash.

ETA: I regularly Lysol the pee diaper trash can, because it can be really smelly when you open to put a new diaper in.
