Playtex Diaper Genie Twist-Away Pail System (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Two of my friends each gave me theirs. I keep one in the nursery, one in the family room. Like another reader said the first couple diapers just dropped to the bottom after twisting and when it's time to be dumped all the diapers just untwist and you have a lot of bag unused (the razor to cut the bag doesn't work at all) and knowing that it's almost $6 for a refill I just started using it like a garbage can or like the Diaper Genie II. I throw everything in there, diapers, paper, tags, receipts, etc. It doesn't smell until you open it but that's normal, "you know what" stinks. I just tie a knot from the bottom and push my arm down through the top. When it's filled I just pull the knot from the bottom and use scissors to cut. My little one will be 4 weeks soon and her diapers are small so it holds plenty of them. I empty it when it's full and on garbage day. It really saves and will last even longer without the twisting.

I am a first time mother and when I went to do some last minute shopping before my son arrived I saw this Daiper Genie and it was on sale so I figure that I would give it a try and I love it "NO MORE SMELLY DAIPERS" Buy it you will be pleased

I have been using this for almost 2 months now and it is not all that. The smell is somewhat contained until I open the lid to put in a diaper, then the smell will knock you down. I clean it and use lysol weekly and let it air out outside in hopes of getting rid of the odor that's in it, but so far, that hasn't worked. Half of the time it doesn't twist the liner correctly, so that makes the smell even worse when the lid is opened. In my opinion, using plastic bags to dispose of dirty diapers would be much better than using this. I don't recommend. I will definitely be using something else when my son starts on solid foods.

I GOT THIS AS A GIFT! I WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE SOMETHING TO KEEP THE SMELL OF DAIPERS OUT OF MY HOUSE, IT DIDN'T WORK! I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE ANY DIAPERS IN IT AND I COULD SMELL IT! I TRIED CLEANING IT OUT WITH BLEACH AND EVEN LEAVING THE BLEACH IN OVER NIGHT AND I STILL STUNK LIKE POO! MOST OF MY FRIENDS THAT GOT IT WHEN THEIR KIDS WERE BABIES THREW THEM AWAY WITH IN A MONTH! I HAVE DONE THE SAME. BEWARE!! THEY DON'T WORK!

The product is great. The problem is I ordered it for an adult male and I think the Depends is too large to allow the product to work properly.
