When I was registering for my baby shower I was blown away by all the different kinds of specialty diaper pails on the market. All the special features to keep the smell of the diapers down made everything so expensive. All I wanted was a simple diaper pail that had a lid and could be easily opened with one hand. This was the only diaper pail at the store that was that simple and didn't nee...

I had a Diaper Genie with my first child, so I got another when I had my second child.  The pail does hide the smell of the diapers when the child is an infant, but once the diaper stink got worse, the pail didn't hold the smell in as well.  The Diaper Genie requires you to buy special refills, so while the initial cost isn't a lot, it adds up later one.  The diapers are ...

I got this for a shower gift. At first it was great. Then we started to have problems. The twist system. After a few months of use the twist system starting acting up. I was having to twist between 6-10 times when the instructions say 3. Also it wouldn't twist all the way, so I would have 2 or more diapers in in one tube. Because of that more of the packaging was used. The Cutter.  At ...

I have been using my Diaper Genie for just over two weeks and can not imagine life without it!  This is one of the most useful items in my nursery.  In style it is an unobtrusive white with a modern look to it that I think would fit with any decor.  My nursery is not modern, I chose Clasic Pooh, but it still looks at home next to the changing table.It is incredibly easy to use.&n...

I received the Diaper Champ as a baby shower gift and boy am I glad I have it!  Having used the Diaper Genie with my twins and not liking the twist action, the need to buy refill bags and the hassle of pulling out a string of smelly diapers when it got full, I was liking the Diaper Champ even before I tried it! The Diaper Champ works with a regular shopping bag. You place the bag inside th...

Simple, comprehensive and PINK!  Those are the three descriptors for this shovel & pail beach set.  This set includes a shovel, pail, fancy watering can, rack, and a castle mold.  What more could you ask for???  Well it is girlish pink!  Apparently that is important to the little princesses of the world.Ahhh how good they have it... Back in my day you had to use the...

If you are a mom, I'm sure you've searched high and low for some sort of system that allows you to throw away a diaper without having to go outside to the trashcan or without having to smell the "toxic" contents. I've tried a couple systems that haven't worked, so when I came across this supposedly odor free diaper pail, I decided to try it.The idea and execution is si...

I worked as a nanny for a family who used the Diaper Genie for all of their children. The only thing I liked about it was that it was easy to put the diapers in. Just drop and twist. The problems, however, were numerous. For one thing, the little sucker is hard to load. You have to use these refill packs, which are expensive. You have to use them. Nothing else will work. It takes some time befo...

When I had my baby 18 months ago, I got a Diaper Genie because I had one with my first child.  But recently, it wasn't hiding smells very well.  Plus, last week it broke while I was trying to change the liner.  I did a little research and found the Diaper Champ by Baby Trend.  This one appealed to me because it looked very easy to use and it uses regular garbage bags rat...

  This review is for the Playtex Diaper Genie, which is a diaper pail/trashcan.  When I first got this item, I thought it was great!  My husband was more excited than I was.  He found this product and described it to me - comparing it to a sausage because you drop the diaper in, twist the top, the put in the next.  When you empty it, it is somewhat like a sausage shape....

I live with three dogs, so sometimes my home has extra unpleasant odors.  Because of multiple chemical sensitivities, products like Oust and Neutra-Air tend to provoke allergic reactions in my head.  When I saw an ad on TV for Zero Odor, a product that promised to simply remove odors, and not cover them with another scent that lingers for hours, I decided to try it.  The cost, $3...

I did a lot of research on baby gear before my first child was born.  I decided to go with the Diaper Genie because it was the first, my friends liked using it, and it seemed to work.  The Diaper Genie has worked well for me and my family.  I have friends that prefer other systems that you can use any bag with.  I don't mind purchasing the Diaper Genie refills because I ...

I have been going through diaper pails like crazy!  The problem with diaper pails is that they are made of plastic and they get to smell rather quickly.  the selling point on this diaper disposal system is that it has a filter and a fan to keep the diapering system fresher longer.Now set up was not the easiest thing in the world.  I liked that my last diaper pail was put tog...

This is a fun and cheap trash can that I purchased for all my children's bedrooms. I was sick and tired of the garbage in all the bedrooms each week that it was cleaning day.This trash can is fun because it has a goofy face on it and it becomes special because the children get to assemble them. it comes with two flat pieces that they connect to make the depth of the trash can. Then it has a...

I wrote in another review how I had worked for a family who used a different product that I did not like. When I had my child, this is the product I bought instead. The Diaper Champ has a few things going for it. For one thing, it's less expensive than some other products. I found a great deal at Big Lots, but you can find this product in lots of places. My favorite thing is that you can us...
