Diaper Genie????

Quinnsaras · February 2010

So, I swear I registered for this but realized the other day it's not on my registry. I went to the Target website to add it it and it doesn't come up in the search? Is there something I don't know about the diaper genie systems - I was planning on the Elite II system? Have they been discontinued or did Target stop carrying them? Thought I'd ask around...thanks!

I registered for it at Target originally then it disappeared, so I moved it to my bru registry

I got one for Christmas. It is the Elite II... I think... So they still exist. It might just be that Target doesn't have them anymore.

IMO Diaper Champ is better, you can use any bags you want with it. HTH

Baby Bargains gave the new Champ awful reviews stating that it didnt hold in the smell at all

Hmmm.. that's too bad. We've used ours for 19 months now and it works great! Oh well!

I had it on my Target registery as well and it disappeared. Went back to the store to put it back on and they did have it, however, it disappeared again. GRRRRR

It disappeared off my registry online, too. I went to the store and printed my SIL's registry and it was on there and there were 3 on the shelf. I bought her one but on her updated registry it says "item no longer available". Stupid.

That's why I didn't get the Champ. Originally, I thought it made a lot more sense( seeing as how you can use regular trash bags.) However, after I read Baby Bargains and saw the rating...I ended up getting the Diaper Genie II Elite instead. HOWEVER, I've heard a lot of bumpies say that they love their Diaper Champ. It can't be so bad if so many of them like it.:-) I just decided to go who Baby Bargains gave the best rating to.

By the way, I bought my Diaper Genie Elite at Target a few weeks ago. They do have them at the store, so I don't know what is up with the website?

I bought one a few months ago at Target b/c ours broke. But I like it b/c it holds the smell. Buying the extra bags is worth it if it keeps the smell in.

i just bought one about 2 weeks ago at the store but it was on sale/clearance. maybe they stopped selling them? or maybe just stopped online?

i think no matter what system you decide to use they generally stop being efficient at containing the odors in about 6-9 months of use or so.... so just a short while after the solids are introduced and the odors really kick in... too bad. Some people claim that their pail (be it diaper genie II or others) still work well after a year or even 2 of use but i honestly doubt that. I had a diaper genie I with my 1st DD and took it apart to thoroughly clean / disinfect every other day (that's more frequent than most people do for sure). We threw that contraption into the trash when my daughter turned 8 m old - so right after 7 months of use (we threw diapers into our kitchen trash for the first month, individually wrapped in grocery bags).

Whichever diaper disposal system you buy, it will work really well for the first few months for sure. To make it last longer i advise cleaning it often, try putting a drier sheet on the bottom inside the pail, and also shake the poop into the toilet before folding the used diaper closed and putting it into the pail - that will cut down on odors big time. Individually wrapping soiled diapers into a plastic baggie before putting them into the pail would also help.
