First time mama living in a two story house and considering getting a diaper genie or some sort of diaper pail. I really can’t fathom walking downstairs during night changes tbh but have heard people either love it or absolutely hate it & say it still stinks up a room. Help!!!

we have the dekor plus hands-free and love it - the step-can opening is a must-have for me because reaching down and opening/closing the other kinds is a huge pain in the butt when you're wrestling with a baby for changes.

you can also just use a step can trash can, but they're not designed to keep the smell in like a diaper pail.

I love our diaper genie. We use it for poopy diapers and have a separate pail for pee diapers that gets emptied daily. It definitely keeps the smell down and is convenient not having to run each diaper outside to the garbage.

i loved mine until it broke and now i just find using a regular small trash is better cause it gets emptied more frequently and the diaper genie does stink

We use the Ubbi pail for our 23 month old and love it. It uses regular trash bags so we just bought kitchen size bags from Costco and they lasted us FOREVER. No need to keep buying refills which a lot of the Diaper Genie brand requires. Highly recommend and they come in beautiful color options if you care about that sort of thing

Honestly I thought it was a waste of money and going to just get a garbage can for just diapers. Santa brought "Baby to Be" a diaper genie knowing I wouldn't get it and it is one of the purchases I would highly recommend. My daughter is 5.5 months and I have yet to smell a diaper yet. I also got doggie poop bags for her diaper bag for when were out and about/visiting so I don't leave the smell at anyones house/office while visiting. I would recommend spending the money on it.

I found I rarely used mine. You have to buy special bags, and goodness it stunk so bad when opened. I found it much easier and cheaper to keep grocery bags nearby, tie the dirty diaper up, and run it out to the trash can.

We have the munchkin STEP pail and it’s been working really well. Granted our baby is 2 months, so his diapers are totally disgusting, but I don’t notice any kind of smell. For any of the pails, to optimize the space is try to roll or wrap the diaper as small as you can to be able to fit in more before having to swap out the bag

A diaper genie is my husbands number one recommended item. I find that it smells significantly less than any of the other diaper pails I’ve come across at friends houses. Yes, you have to buy the diaper genie brand rings for the bags, but I get a pack at Costco and it’s lasts several months.

we were considering buying one but my son let's out grown man poops (atleast in the ways it smells) so we decided not to. pee pee diapers stay in the room and poopy diapers go straight to the bin outside. luckily my son has only pooped once at night (he shot me with it but that's a whole nother story) so we've lucked out in not needing one for our room
