Diaper pails?

Question

Hi everyone. We're planning on starting with disposable diapers and then gradually switching to cloth. We are trying to decide on a diaper pail to contain stink but they seem to be made for either disposable or cloth-- not both. Any suggestions? Is this even a necessity?

Answer

We bought a separate garbage can (regular one) for near her changing table. Much cheaper and gets the job done. We buy the febreeze garbage bags (which we used anyway) and take hers out daily.

Answer

Diaper Genie Complete!

Answer

I got the bubula steel diaper pail and its amazing. Locks the odor in and its easy to clean out.

Answer

Wow.. Seems pretty evenly split! I think we'll just start with a regular trash bin and see how that goes. The other issue is that her changing table is downstairs, while at night she'll be upstairs in our room. Am I really going to take her all the way downstairs for a change, or to throw the old diaper away, 3 or 4 times a night?

Answer

A diaper pail is definitely necessary. We bought one by Ubi and it did a pretty good job containing all the stink.

Answer

My mom bought me a diaper genie, and everyone I know who has one says they are fantastic! I can't wait to use ours

Answer

I use a regular trash can.  After baby gets changed I just tie the diaper up in a grocery store plastic bag and put it on the trash, which gets emptied at the end of every day

Answer

It is necessary! I love my arm and hammer one!

Answer

I never bought one... For some reason shopping for them completely overwhelmed me. So many options for dirty diapers. I use a small plastic laundry basket that I got at the dollar store. I keep it in my washroom and I wash diapers every 2-3 days. No stink. Most are just pee diapers... Baby is very regular so I put him in a disposable before his morning poo.

Answer

A regular trash can with a lid is fine. Keep in mind there really isn't much smell until solids are started around six months
