When did you stop using a diaper pail?

KevinsBride04

DS is 12 months and we still use the diaper champ, but we store it in the garage since his diapers are more stinky these days. However, the garage is beginning to stink so bad, especially after we change it out. When did you stop using the diaper champ/genie? What do you do with dirty diapers if you don't use one? We've tried cleaning it, but maybe I'm not using right stuff or I'm missing something. I'm kind of ready to move on but I don't want to just put the diapers in our trash can. Yuck!

Still use the diaper genie. I don't notice a smell unless I'm changing the bag. I just spray with Lysol.

We never have used one. We just use a trashcan (with a flip lid) in the garage. We can't smell it at all, unless we open it.

We still use ours, I love it! I don't have a smell issue either, but everytime I change out the bag I spray it all with Lysol too. When we have the next baby we'll put it in that room and just put DD's in there, but we definitely plan to keep using it. It's not far to the garage trash, but still, I like the convenience.

We stopped the last time we ran out of bags for it. Our garbage is right outside our side door so we just throw them in there. We don't have a garage ...not fun when we get a ton of snow in about a month.

We still use it as well. Long as DS is still in diapers, I'm using it. I don't have a smell issue either until I open it up to change out the bag. I have kept one of those pop-up air freshners or one of the car tree freshners in the bottom of the pail and that helps it smell nice.

We stopped using ours around 12 months.  It was so stinky!!!  I bleached it outside and rinsed it with the hose about once a week and it was still smelly.  It's been sitting in the garage for a couple of months now (unused) and just last night, DH put it in the pile to go out for garbage night.  

I've been throwing the stinky ones out the back door (landing near the garbage) and DH picks them up when he gets home from work.  Lately, it's been rainy so I hung a plastic grocery bag on the back door knob and I put them there since it's covered.  That's probably what we'll do through the winter.  When it's full (or stinky) DH just puts it in the trash and I start a new one.  

I really liked having the diaper pal in the house before it started to stink.  It was very convenient.  Now that we finally have a new "system" it's not so bad.

We flush the poop out of her diapers and then put them in a trash can with a lid.  It doesn't smell at all.  If it is a poop that won't completely empty into the toilet, I put it in a plastic diaper bag and take it outside.

I threw ours out at a year because of the smell. I could no longer get it out

We've never used one. Poopy diapers get tied up in a grocery bag (sorry EFF folks) and put in the kitchen trash and they don't stink as long as the bag is closed tightly.
