If you have this, it works good and you (L) it?? OMG it's Andrea! 05-22-2008, 11:01 PM I don't have kids, but have worked in daycares and nannied foreverrr, and I honestly prefer the Diaper Champ. :) Just my opinion :lol Victoria 05-22-2008, 11:03 PM I used a Diaper Genie and Diaper Champ. I prefer the Diaper Champ. The bag refills with the Diaper Genie can get pricey and it REEKS after a while if you let the diapers collect until it's full.....the whole point of it, right?! CAmom4721 05-22-2008, 11:04 PM I agree, I had the Diaper Genie and it went in the garbage. I would definitely go for the Diaper Champ. :yes Mommy2Bailey 05-22-2008, 11:04 PM I had one.I ended up using my trash can. ~Christina~ 05-22-2008, 11:05 PM you can have ours...we don't need it anymore... *.:Hope:.* 05-22-2008, 11:05 PM It's been 6 years for me... :shrug I liked the diaper genie but it does reek after 10 + diapers. 2123wife 05-22-2008, 11:07 PM I have a Genie and I wish I had the champ. the refils get way expensive. Plus once your kiddo gets older the refils only last a week. Caimbrie 05-22-2008, 11:17 PM The original diaper genie sucks badly.. I ahd 2 of them. The new diaper genie II is great. Purpur 05-22-2008, 11:20 PM I personally think they are a waste of money.....a little trash can works just as well, and the liners are free (grocery sacks)....JMO though inmansgirl06 05-22-2008, 11:26 PM I like our diaper genie II. it doesnt ever smell, and so far we have only had to refill it once, and that was today....though I will admit that we only put poopy diapers in it most of the time and toss just the wet ones MelissaMc424 05-22-2008, 11:26 PM To me once the kid was out of size 1 diapers the diaper genie was more of a pain than a help.. it didn't hold much and it was much easier to just toss the diapers in the regular trash that went out once a day... (saving those extra target/walmart sacks helps with the super smelly ones).. HuskerFan 05-22-2008, 11:29 PM I personally think they are a waste of money.....a little trash can works just as well, and the liners are free (grocery sacks)....JMO though :agree That's what we did. Caimbrie 05-22-2008, 11:32 PM I like our diaper genie II. it doesnt ever smell, and so far we have only had to refill it once, and that was today....though I will admit that we only put poopy diapers in it most of the time and toss just the wet ones The new one is a HUGE improvement over the original one. Jennie 05-23-2008, 12:05 AM I just use a regular trash can with a lid and use scented trash bags. Even with her really stinky diapers, I only have to take her trash out once a week. I_Love_my_marine 05-23-2008, 12:08 AM I had one after my daughter was born. It eventually went into the trash! It still stunk! instant_oatmeal 05-23-2008, 10:18 AM I'm not even going to bother. I have heard far too many negative things. Caimbrie 05-23-2008, 10:21 AM I'm not even going to bother. I have heard far too many negative things. It's the old ones.. the new ones are completely different. reynswife 05-23-2008, 10:29 AM I personally think they are a waste of money.....a little trash can works just as well, and the liners are free (grocery sacks)....JMO though :agree That's what we did starting with #2. We hated the Diaper Genie! Laura48 05-23-2008, 10:36 AM Kroger plastic bags and the garbage can!! :yes waste of money in my opinion. ilovekale 05-23-2008, 10:42 AM i had one but it filled up fast and after awhile, it wasn't twisting the baggies tight enough and they were just unwinding inside. so basically, when i went to empty it, there was just one huge bag in there with about 20 diapers in it. lol. gross. taraw226 05-23-2008, 12:02 PM IMO, the diaper champ is better. i had a diaper genie and it sucked. it was a pain in the ass to change and once the kids get bigger, it hardly holds any diapers. my friend had a diaper champ and it was super easy to use and you don't have to buy special refills for it. Heather 05-23-2008, 01:19 PM I had one and it went in the trash. It smelled so badly after awhile. Even bleach didn't get the smell out. MIKOSWIFEY 05-23-2008, 01:35 PM Ugh Genie burps rotted shit breath at you EVERY time you open it. :pukey That thing lasted a month before I tossed it. withyounear 05-23-2008, 01:45 PM i had a the diaper geinie II and it was fine. the only time i really noticed the smell was when i had to change the liner. As they get bigger you do have to change the liner more often but even if i was using a trash can and trash bags it would be a waste of trash bags cause i wouldn't want them sitting there more then a few days anyway. maybe i am just really anal about things like taking the trash out. not to mention a trash can the diaper are going to reek everytime you open the lid to add another one anyway. USNIwife 05-23-2008, 07:39 PM The original diaper genie sucks badly.. I ahd 2 of them. The new diaper genie II is great. Genie II is the same as the Diaper Champ, 2 in the same?! Ugh Genie burps rotted shit breath at you EVERY time you open it. :pukey That thing lasted a month before I tossed it. - - Ick, Thanks. i had a the diaper geinie II and it was fine. the only time i really noticed the smell was when i had to change the liner.

I just asked Caimbrie, the diaper genie II is okay, it's the same as the diaper champ?! Christina, what do you have the genie or diaper champ?! that you don't need/want sandykay 05-23-2008, 07:46 PM I have a diaper genie and love it MIKOSWIFEY 05-23-2008, 07:48 PM I have been using plastic grocery bags honestly. Seemed to be the cheapest solution. WAY less smell too. Even if I toss the twisted, tied grocery bag in the kitchen trash it doesn't let the smell escape. Unlike the Genie. :pukey DakotaCowgirl 05-23-2008, 07:53 PM I have the diaper pail that you put regular garbage bags in. We like that one. It will stink after a week but anything will. Just stick a stick-em in there and we are good to go. I thought the other one was a waste of money. RonniesWifeJen 05-24-2008, 11:21 AM I think any small trash can with a lid works just fine. No matter what you buy, if you let diapers build up more than 2 days the house will stink. I have a genie and it's okay, but it's more work than I want to take the diapers out to the trash. It's easier to just grab the bag out of the trash can and replace the lid. |
