Diaper Genies

One of the most unpleasant duties of motherhood involves disposing of those dirty diapers. Without some help, cleaning up diapers can be a never ending task, and can make your house smell less than fresh. But, there’s one product that can keep your nursery smelling fresh and minimize the number of times you have to take dirty diapers to the trash.

A diaper genie is one of the most popular baby products. You simply insert a used diaper into the top and give the lid a twist. Twisting the top encases the diaper in airtight plastic, so there’s no odor. When the diaper genie is full, you simply cut the end of the plastic, and dispose of the diapers. Your diapers look a bit like sausages in casings as you take them out to the garbage.

In addition to eliminating the smell in your nursery, the diaper genie reduces the number of times you must empty the diapers into the trash. Your diaper genie will hold several days worth of dirty diapers, saving you many trips outside.

When the plastic material inside your diaper genie runs out, you can purchase diaper genie refills at any baby store. They’re fairly inexpensive and long lasting. As your baby gets older and you have fewer dirty diapers each day, you’ll be amazed at how long your diaper genie refills last.

Recently, the diaper genie II was introduced. This new product works essentially the same way as the original diaper genie, but is reported to be even better at preventing odor. In addition, no twisting is required, so you can operate the diaper genie II with one hand. It holds up to 30 diapers.

Diaper genies have come under some fire for being environmentally unfriendly. Disposable diapers fill our landfills already and take many years to disintegrate. However, diapers placed in a landfill in a diaper genie will virtually never disintegrate because the diaper genie encases them in plastic. This is the biggest disadvantage to using a diaper genie for disposal of your diapers.

There are many other diaper disposal systems on the market. However, none has been able to compare to the diaper genie in terms of being a great combination of odor control and affordability. If you’re planning to use disposable diapers for your baby, you should definitely take a look a the diaper genie as a potential diaper disposal system.
