Best Odor Proof Diaper Pail!

I just gave up on the special diaper pails and use a grocery bag in a regular garbage can. When there is a really stinky diaper I take the bag straight out to the garbage (after flushingthe poop). For what it is worth, this works well and costs nothing.

I never could find a smell free diaper pail, so I resorted to taking them out every time I change my sons diaper. :( However, Don Aslett's cleaning supply in South Jordan sells this stuff it's called X-O Odor Neutralizer is wonderful, it kills the stinky smells around the house without replacing it with a "flowery" smell you get from others. Try it.

I have the same one and not long ago the foam gasket started rolling up and wouldn't stay down. I got online, (Baby Trend I think) and told them about it and they sent me all new foam pieces for free. I noticed how stinky the old foam was. (We only put wet diapers in it though and took the stinky ones outside to the trash!)

I actually use the plastic grocery bags that I get from doing my grocery shopping. I place the diaper in the corner of the bag, twist the bag around a few times, put it in the other corner, twist it, wrap it again,and then tie it off with the handles. By the time I'm done the diaper is wraped in aone plastic bag three or four times. No smell! I don't even have a diaper pale, I just use my kitchen trash and you can use those plastic bags for a good cause!

I am a nursery coordinator at a church, and we change a LOT of diapers!! I have a nanny friend who gave me the solution that we use - ziploc storage bags with a lovely strong smelling dryer sheet in them!!! It counteracts the yucky smell, and it was cheaper than a diaper pail, not to mention less of a headache for my volunteers who wanted to throw the Diaper Genie in the street!!

First and formost, all fecal matter should go in the TOILET, NOT the diaper pail. That will cut down on the smell and you will have the piece of mind that it is being treated at the sewage plant, essentially composted, and not filling up the landfill where it will be preserved forever, stinking up your house, and potentially spreading disease. Could you imagine collecting your poop for a week before you threw it out? Yuck!

You will be amazed at te difference it makes to just dump the poop in the toilet, you won't have to go out and buy a new pail.

Hi. I had the same problem with the Diaper Champ...I loved it up until my kiddo was about two years old. Weird isn't it. I never found a pail that worked better to control the smell. What I do is empty the diaper into the toilet and flush the smell down. :-) Then I either put the almost odor free diaper in the Champ, or I put it in a disposable bag (I keep a stash in daughter's room) and then throw it out in the garage trash.
Hope you find something that works...if not, you may try my way!

The Diaper Dekor is the best, and I don't know why not many people use it. It seals 3 times to block out the odor. If I ever find an odor coming from it, when I check it out, I've always left a seal open. My kiddo is 2 and a half, and it works with his poop! My friend that worked at Babies R Us told me nothing compares!

THe best odor proof diaper pail for my four kids was not to have one! I keep a small, bag lined trash can outside the front door and deposit diapers in there, which gets dumped into the big garbage daily. Older kids' diapers really smell, even the pee eventually, so walking a bit further to put them outside was worth it. A small, tasteful trash can is fine by the door. And then someday, hooray for potty training!

Luckily, your daughter is two now and should be getting ready to be trained. I make sure to flush the waste from the diaper if I can before placing it in the diaper pail. There are deodorizing discs you can buy, and also try spreading baking soda at the bottom of the pail, to see if that helps obsorb some of the odor. We bought an air diffuser for that area also. If that still doesn't work, you'll have to do things the old fashioned way and place it in a re-usable bag from the grocery/department(Target, Wal-mart, etc.) store and toss it in the garbage outside.

The only thing I can suggest is the outside garbage can. There seems to come a time when NOTHING can contain those odors. I don't even use mine anymore, I just haul them right outside... Good Luck!

I am on my second child and I have a safety 1st diaper genie that I really like. I got it at Babies R US for $20.00-$25.00. My first diaper pailed was horrible and the smell was unbearable. The diaper genie does take refills that are from $5.00-$5.50, but well worth the cost. It holds about a week of diapers and is super easy to empty. My daughter is almost 2 and I have never had even the hint of a bad smell in her pail. I would give it a try!

We bought the Diaper Champ as well - it worked until she was about 12 months old and her diapers were getting more smelly.

We did a lot of research, and found that we could do two things. Take the dirty diapers out to the garage trash, or buy a different pail. We went with the Diaper Genie II. Yes, it's not as convenient to buy liner refills, but we have found that it's a lot better. The only time we can actually smell the diapers is when we have overfilled the container and it can't stay sealed.

We love it - wish we would have bought it in the first place - the Diaper Champ was difficult to clean with that "air tight" part that you push down.

I used a few things. I would sometimes put an air freshner in the bottom before putting in the bag. Or what worked best was a little bit of baking soda and coffee grounds on the bottom after a good, thorough clean.

Good luck!

I have a Diaper Champ too, but I gave up on it. It was getting too hard to keep the odors out and it sat out in the garage most of the time airing out. Now I just dump my diapers (unless they are really smelly) in the kitchen trash, which gets dumped every night anyhow. Voila! No more smell! No extra expense, no extra time spent scrubbing and disinfecting the diaper pail. Oh, I also used a Diaper Genie with the first kids and yeah, it held in the odor but the bags are expensive and when you open it up, it still smells.

My husband is a weenie and can't deal with even the faintest HINT of poo around (and can't change a poopy diaper without gagging--seriously!), so I gave up on the diaper pail years ago. What we do is, use a plastic grocery store bag for each messy diaper, tie it up, and take it out to the outside garbage can. This is a lot more work, but it eliminates the smells! If your family isn't as weird about poop as my husband, I bet you could leave the bagged-and-tied diaper in your regular trashcan, or your diaper champ, and that would be fine. I can't smell them through the plastic. It is sort of a waste of bags, but we have so many of them, and they don't recycle them in our area, so I am glad to have a use for them.

The best way to get rid of the oder is to take the diapers out right away. I set up a pail right outside the door for when the weather was nasty but I always took the yucky diapers out right away. I found that wasting money on the diaper genie or some other wasn't for me.

I went with the diaper genie (the original, not number II) And it works for us. But it does fill up so we had one for upstairs and one for down, and when my second son came along got one for his room. Never tried the II one because a lady at babies r us adviced against it. The cost of the refills just goes in with the diapers in general cost anymore in my head. We use a refill per pail per month on average. We have a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old. My husband empties them once a week and usues a strong bleach mix to clean them. Every 6 months we'll fill up the bath tub then fill up the genies with bleach water and let them soak.
Maybe you'll get lucky and be able to potty train soon and just be done with it all together :) We're working on it, but it's been slow so far! Good luck!

I went all out and got te diaper genie when I had my daughter, it was a pain though kept the odor out, the replacement bags were expensive. When I had my son I decided to go buy inexpensive scented small garbage bags, I would tie them in a knot and it was fine as long as I took out the garbage daily, which I do anyway. I say, go less expensive and just get scented small garbage bags, you will save yourself a lot of money and time. They make them in biodegradeable too which are more but still less expensive then the diaper pails. Diaper genie did keep the odor out however. The scented bags were awesome too as I could throw some in my purse, diaper bag, in the car and they do hold the odor out especially vanilla ones!

Love the Diaper Genie II, way better than all the other ones we've used and you don't have to twist the bags and make a diaper sausage like the original.

why not try buying a new diaper champ? Even though you clean it often, plastic will eventually hold onto odors. I'm sure its the pail itself that you smell, and a new champ will still be a savings over anything else.

Honestly, once my kids were about 18 months old, I stopped using diaper pails all together. The odor is just too bad to have linger in the house. I don't think there is one out there that can actually contain the odor after a while anyway. We just kept all our plastic grocery bags and put the poopy diapers in two and the pee in one bag--tied it up and threw them in the garbage bin outside. It's much easier than cleaning out a stinky pail all the time. Hope that helps....

We too have the diaper champ and love it for the same reasons. I never put soiled diapers in there - they go straight to the garage. We discovered very small odor-eater/absorber air freshener hangers at Yankee Candle and they work GREAT. I just hang one on the inside of the pail on the blue plastic part and voila. We don't have any odor issues and my son is over 2 yrs old. I use the cotton fresh one and it's not a cardboard thing like people use in cars. It's got like a gel substance or something in it that absorbs the odor. I found it on a small turstile near the register at the Yankee Candle store in Aspen Grove. Good luck. Hopefully you won't have to buy a new pail.

i think you will find that at some point no diaper pail can hold in all the odors of toddlers diapers. your best bet is to move your trash can or diaper pail outside or into your garage.

Try potty training. All 3 of my girls were trained by the time they were 15 months. If you are really set on using diapers try bleach in the bottom of the pail.Or put grocy sacks in and tie them shut after a messy diaper.

Good Luck finding one! If you do let us all know!! I just put them in the garbage and then take them out daily. (sometimes more!! LOL ) Also, It is kind of wasteful, but for the really stinky ones I tie them up in plastic grocery bags before putting them in the garbage, it helps with the smell for a little while. Also I have found I need to replace the garbage can every 6 months or so, once the smewll gets into the plastic, it is hard to get out!!

Dear R.,
We save used ziploc bags, and bread bags, any enclosed plasic bag without holes in it (grape bags, etc. will not keep smell inside;)and place them together. They are free, and when we have a messy diaper we place the smelly package inside the bag, tie it up, and the smell is pretty well contained. We put them on the back porch if we are in a hurry and then take them to the outside trash can. I do not mind the exercise, since I need it, and sometimes the baby even enjoys the short trip outside with me! It is completely free and we have no smell in the house. (I cannot guarantee that the outside can will smell like roses, but it is sure better than anything else we've done to save on scents and cents after having our fifth baby.
Enjoy your little girl! Best wishes.
Sincerely,
H.
