I recently tried the Playtex Diaper Genie Complete and was blown away past how it kept my fifteen-month-old's room smelling delightful — despite his best efforts.

How Does The Diaper Genie Work?

The Diaper Genie Complete comes fully assembled. So, yous can just utilise it direct out of the box — which is great for busy moms and dads.

Then, to throw away a diaper, all you have to practise is hit the bottom pedal with your pes, and the chapeau and airtight clamps open for you to toss it in. That's it.

There are a few other steps, though, to make certain the odors are truly sealed away:

Tuck the carbon filter into an opening on the within of the lid for extra odor protection. I highly recommend using the filter. I didn't put information technology in for the showtime two days, and there was a departure in scent.
Use the special bags that come with the Diaper Genie. According to the visitor, the bags come with vii layers for actress aroma protection. Nosotros used to utilize regular trash bags with our old pail, and I'd say these do a meliorate chore of keeping the smell contained. Merely, annotation that the handbag refills could cost more money over fourth dimension.

Another absurd characteristic (which I tin can't see, but the company says is there) is the built-in antimicrobial that inhibits leaner growth on the pail.

How Many Diapers Does The Diaper Genie Concord?

The company claims the refill bags can concur 270 diapers. Of grade, that doesn't mean you're stuffing 270 diapers in the can earlier you take it to the trash.

Imagine i really long and narrow trash pocketbook without a bottom. That's kind of what this is. When yous kickoff set up the purse, yous'll tie a knot at the bottom of it. And then, when it's full of diapers, you can use the special cutter inside the pail to suspension it off and knot the elevation. Then you'll pull out the adjacent portion of the bag, knot it at the bottom, then on.

It took about two days for the Diaper Genie to get total at our business firm. If you prefer to have the trash out more often, the special bags might actually save you coin considering you won't waste material big bags for a few diapers. You tin merely cut the handbag to whatever size you lot want.

Who Should Use The Diaper Genie?

If you're a parent with a kid in diapers, yous might want to consider the Diaper Genie, which is the number one best-seller in diaper pails on Amazon. Its design is sleek and unobtrusive, and it comes in five colors including white, gray and greenish, making information technology a fit for most nurseries. Plus its tall size and hands-free foot pedal make it easier on your back to toss diapers.

What sets it apart from other diaper pails, though, is the extra odor protection from the carbon filter, clamps and special numberless.

The Diaper Genie gives you the convenience of having a diaper pail in the nursery — without the odor. Yep, delight!
