Why I Don't Like the Diaper Genie

1. You have to buy the special bags.
2. The spinning of the "special" bags does not produce "sausage links" but a big mess instead.
3. You have to use two hands.

The Diaper Champ is WAY cooler.

Why? Because I have one. Ha ha. So, I chose the Diaper Champ because:
1. You do not have to buy special bags -- I found that Target's bags worked the best because they have a little big a stretch versus the traditional plastic grocery bag. (And, you can recycle!)
2. It holds about one to one and half week's worth of diapers and they are easy to get out of the cylinder.
3. You can use one hand.
4. You have two colors to choose from - I chose blue simply because it was more gender neutral.

Con:
Sometimes it gets a little stuck SOMETIMES when flipping over the lid part - you'll see what
I mean - so you have to be careful when it comes to packaging up the diaper. I prefer to put all wipes, etc. into the diaper and then wrap in up in a tight package: prevents leakage, smell, and is portable. If you do not pre-package your diaper or try to dispose of a single wipe, it will get stuck... Hence, all the complaints on Amazon.com.

If you don't put up a fight,
and wind your diaper up tight,
you just might,
end up with a fright(ful mess).

Summary?
There are going to be problems no matter what method of disposal you use, unless you take each and every wipe and diaper to the trash can in the garage. I promise that it will be better than a regular pail and the Diaper Genie, if only for the simple fact that you can recycle your grocery bags.

TIP: Lemon and coffee are natural deodorizers.
