Cloth diaper pail or trash can???

Question

So Ive decided to get a cloth diaper pail liner instead of the hanging wet bags. Now I am stuck on whether I should spend the extra money on a diaper pail, or just get a decent tall kitchen trash can. Does anyone have experience with using a regular trash can for diapers? And if so, which one would you reccomend? Thanks in advance!

Answer

I would recommend the ubbi diaper pail. It works great and comes with its own wet bag for cloth diapers

Answer

I love mine! Easy to use and doesn't smell!!

Answer

Ubbi! You can even lock them for when a kid is old enough to try to open it

Answer

Depending on how many diapers you have and how often you plan to wash is really something to consider... I used a metal bucket, like from the garden aisle but I presoaked my diapers cause that breast milk yellow poop came every change and I washed every 2-3 days... as time passed I used a wet bag in a regular laundry basket for my non poop diapers.

Answer

I just use a regular laundry basket with holes. No liner or anything. Just straight into the basket. Works perfect and no smells.

Answer

I've used both. For newborns, trash cans are fine because their poop isn't very stinky. Once they start finger food solids and they poop solids, the trash can needs to be changed daily, whereas the diaper pail can go 2-4 days without getting too stinky. The other issue is that toddlers LOVE to play with trash cans and will try to open it and knock it over (at least both my boys did). I had to get a heavy duty stainless steel trash can for my kitchen for this reason. The diaper pail is a little more difficult to break into lol.

Answer

I use a 5 galon paint pail. You can get it for $5 from home depot and the wet bag pail liners fit perfectly.
