I use the diaper genie now because I recieved it as a gift, however, with my first son I used the cheaper version which I believe is made by 1st years. Walmart carries it.

I know this question was asked a long time ago but I just joined and thought this might really help. It's simple...I'm sure you shop at Walmart or anywhere else to get the plastic grocery bags. Save those, put the poopy diaper in and twist it and then wrap it over in that same bag and then twist and tie it. If you do this correctly you can put these in your regular trash can until the trash man passes for pickup. Those diaper pails are worthless! You will not smell these if wrapped up correctly. If you're like me, you have a ton of bags and always forget to take back to the store for recycling; now they can be useful. Good Luck!

We have a diaper dekor it holds alot of diapers and keeps the smells away, I throw out the bags once a week or as it fills up. I found the diaper dekor at Target, I am sure you can find one at Babies R US or even Walmart

Try the Diaper Genie. It runs about $30. You can get one at Babies R Us, Target, Walmart, etc. Babies R Us even has several "knock-off" products that are less expensive and use regular trash bags.

he best way I have found is this....savae your grocery bags and store some by the place you change your babies diaper. after every change tie the diaper up in a bag and dispose in a single single bag in the garage. At the end of the day put the bag of diapers in your trash
good luck

I have a covered garbage pail that sits right next to our Oreck air purifier. My son and I both sleep in the room with said pail and I never smell a thing. Well, I smell it for a brief moment when the pail is open to put another diaper in, but aside from that there is no smell. I also make sure to rinse the pail once a week with water (soap only if needed) and air dry and then spray Lysol or febreze inside and let that dry before I put the plastic garbage bag into it. Hope that helps!

I have a Diaper Champ and found putting the scented trash bags in it helps a lot.

The best bet is to find a small trash can with a tight fitting lid & empty every night.

I suggest the Diaper Champ. You can get it at Babies-R-Us. This is what I use and it's great cause you can use regular trash bags instead of having to go out and buy the refills. I have never had a problem with it and it never stinks.
