What kind of garbage cans did you use in your nurseries? I've heard mixed reviews on whether diaper pails are really worth it. Ultimately I'd like a garbage can that will contain the smell but I don't want to have to buy special bags to line the can. Any suggestions?

We have a diaper genie for the poo (I put poopy disposable lineres and wipes in there so the dog won't get at it) and it works really well. We have a cheap diaper pail for our dirty cloth diapers and a cloth liner for the diaper pail so we're not using any trash bags. But if we wanted to it would take regular trash bags, and it has a lid which helps with the smell.

We have this one: http://www.simplehuman.com/products/trash-cans/kitchen/rectangular-plastic-step.html
We CD and out wet bags fit right on no problem. The trash can is a step on with self closing lid and you can also lock the lid which is a nice feature for when DS is older. We loved it so much that we got one for the kitchen.
ETA: If your not CDing, this can can take a regular kitchen bag. It says that it's compatible with SimpleHuman product #__ for the bags, but a regular kitchen bag fits too. It contains the smells nice and keeps pets out as well.

I ended up getting 2 wet bags from Swaddlebees:
http://www.swaddlebees.com/Products/Accessories/bwbag_2They hold about a dozen newborn disposable diapers (about a day's worth) and the contain any smell- I don't notice anything. I have a hook on my changing table/dresser that it hangs from. I empty it in the outside garbage once a day, and wash the bag about once a week. I'm happy with it, plus they have such cute patterns!

We got a plain garbage can with a swing lid. We cloth diaper, but I just put an Arm and hammer baking soda pack under the lid and we have no stink. I wash every 2-3 days but wash the pail out once a week.

My honest feeling is that people can't smell their own diapers, so they think their diaper pail works. I can not tell you how many nurseries I have walked into and been blown over by the stench of diapers.
I'd get a stainless step-on can, like a simple human, but a small one and empty it daily.

@looch: haha. your comments always crack me up.
FWIW we use the diaper dekor plus. i think it does a pretty good job unless you leave the diapers in there for too many days and then even i can smell it. LOL.

@Andrea: it's the truth, girlfriend!
I don't know how people really think sh*t doesn't stink, especially once the babes start eating solid food!

@looch: that stuff is foul. i swear my own doesn't smell that bad. haha.

@Andrea: I feel the same way!
