Hey! So is the diaper genie worth the money? Is it a must have? Does it really work?
Thanks! I will be a FTM due in October and I'm trying to decipher the must haves.
-
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.
-
I have twins and for me YES.
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 & Hammer Munchkin diaper pail, its great but sadly for us it doesn't hold a lot of diapers.
At the moment we have the Diaper Genie upstairs in the girls bedroom and the Arm & Hammer pail in our downstairs office changing station!
My vote = YES the diaper genie, while not the prettiest, is in fact the one that gets the job best done!!!
-
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!
-
We have the Arm & 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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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.
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.
-
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.
-
Yes for me!
-
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!
-
Yay!
-
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.
-
Thanks south everyone! It's so nice to hear from
people that have actually used it. -
Yay! But the elite NOT the original!
