Diaper Genie Review 🧷

All jokes aside, I am guilty of letting this thing fill up during the newborn trenches living in an apartment. It wasn’t so easy to take the garbage out and if I’m being honest, I couldn’t even smell it so I’d forget when the last time I took it out was!

But now that we have a flow of things I promise I take it out regularly lol. But this vulnerability is JUST to let you know they do the dang thing 💁🏻‍♀️

We actually went back to the store to get another one! The refills last forever too.

I personally think it’s so gross to throw baby diapers in the kitchen trash… I’ll never understand that. But I’d 10/10 recommend putting the diaper genie on your baby registry!!

... Read moreOkay, so you've seen my rave review about the Diaper Genie, but let's dive a little deeper into why I truly believe it's one of the best investments for new parents, especially when dealing with those notoriously stinky moments. Many of you might be wondering, 'does diaper genie work' as well as people claim? From my personal experience, a resounding YES! I mentioned living in an apartment, and truly, this thing conceals smells like magic. There's nothing worse than that lingering diaper odor, and the Diaper Genie genuinely locks it away. It makes such a difference not having to constantly run outside with every single diaper. Before getting our Diaper Genie, I briefly tried just using a regular trash can with scented bags. Big mistake! The smell was unbearable, and having used diapers trash in the kitchen bin felt incredibly unsanitary. That's why a dedicated diaper pail like the Diaper Genie is non-negotiable for me. It's designed specifically to tackle this problem, unlike regular bins that just can't handle the job. I’ve heard about other models too, like the *Diaper Genie Essence pail*, which offers different features and designs, but the core function of odor containment remains supreme across their range. While I haven't personally tried a Burton diaper pail review or other specific brands, the Diaper Genie has consistently exceeded my expectations. Another common question I hear is about the practicality – 'how to open diaper genie' and how easy it is to use. Trust me, it's super straightforward. You just push the diaper through the top, and it's sealed away. The refills are surprisingly long-lasting, which is a huge plus. I know the original post mentioned 2 months of diapers could accumulate – while I don't recommend letting it go that long for hygiene, it speaks volumes about its capacity and how well it traps odors even when full! Emptying it is also quick and easy once you get the hang of it; just snip, tie, and toss. It’s definitely less hassle than trying to manage a stinky situation with grocery bags. For parents grappling with a 'baby take off diaper' escape artist, having a secure place to immediately dispose of it can save you from bigger messes! While the Diaper Genie won't stop the Houdini act itself, it's ready for quick containment. Honestly, I'm such a fan that I totally get why someone would say '10/10 I have one in each room' – the convenience of not having to walk to another room for disposal is underrated, especially during those late-night changes. It's all about making those early parenting days a little bit easier and a lot less stinky. So, if you're on the fence about adding a Diaper Genie to your baby essentials, I hope this helps solidify that it's truly a worthy investment for a fresher nursery!

Diaper Genie Hack!!!
This hack is amazing! It's saved us so much money! These diaper genie packs are a little on the pricey side. If you have a diaper genie then you need to do this hack! First you have to buy some of the diaper genie bags and then when you get done you keep the plastic part. Get the 13 gallon
