Product Description

Editorial Review
Everyone agrees: dirty diapers stink. If parents could, they’d probably call in a genie to magic away all evidence of those poopy dipes. But for those who have not found an enchanted lamp lately, the new and improved Diaper Genie is a pretty good alternative. The basic idea is that you drop the used diaper into the bin, give the lid a few twists, and voila! The offensive item has been sealed away into a scented plastic liner. When the bin is full, open the base of the Genie and dump the sausaged, wrapped diapers into the garbage. No odor, no germs, no fuss! The newly designed version features more convenient one-handed operation and a built-in cutting system (with safety latch to keep little fingers out) for easy and quick disposal. Inserting the refills has also been made easier--just remove the old refill, plop in the new one, and tie a knot. Includes one Stage 1 refill (for breast- or formula-fed babies only). Assembly required. --Emilie Coulter

Product Description
Experienced moms love the way this popular product keeps germs and odors out of the nursery with just a twist of the wrist. Winner of the American Baby Magazine's AMBY award for products that moms just can't live without, the Diaper Genie is easy to use and easy to clean. Its simple twist-away action seals each diaper individually, locking in germs and odors. Simply open the lid, place the soiled diaper inside and twist the rotating ring. The diaper is sealed and the nursery is odor-free! A safety lid will keep curious children out, and the large base makes disposal easy. Holds about 30 medium-sized diapers.

5.0 out of 5 stars We LOVE the NEW Diaper Genie!! :), August 16, 2004
By M. Douglas (Batesburg, SC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Be advised...many of these reviews are for the OLD Diaper Genie, but the NEW Diaper Genie works great!! My daughter is six and a half months old. After fighting with the Neat Diaper Disposal System by Safety First (Way too wasteful!!!)for six months, we decided upon the Diaper Genie based on the recommendation of my cousin. We LOVE it!! The new version is very easy to use. To refill it, you simply drop the refill in, tie a knot in the bag, and you're ready to use it. Disposing of a diaper couldn't be easier...you just push in a diaper until it is between the clamps, close the lid, and turn the wheel a couple of times (We have found four to be the 'Magic' number.). I love how it 'sausages' the diapers into individual portions of the bag. It keeps in odors as well as anything. Let's face it...poop stinks. Any diaper disposal should be emptied at least two to three times a week, or it will become unbearable. Be advised, if you feed your baby anything other than breastmilk or formula, use the Stage Two bags!! Emptying it is a cinch...just turn the wheel an extra couple of times, push down the cutter button while turning the wheel a half turn, turn the wheel until the button pops up, open, and empty...EASY!! Unlike another reviewer, I see no way that you could reach the blades that cut the bag. They are covered for safety. (I tried every way I could think of before writing this just to be sure.) Another hint of something I have done is to apply restickable stickers to the Diaper Genie to match my daughter's nursery. We used ones you can peel and reuse. They add some 'glam' to an otherwise 'blah' diaper disposal. Overall, we love the Diaper Genie, if you can love a diaper disposal. :) It works great for us!!

1.0 out of 5 stars wish I could give this 0 stars, January 6, 2005
By Joe'sMom (Ayer, MA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Do not waste your money on the Diaper Genie. Even the "new and improved" Diaper Genie can't compare to the Diaper Champ. The Diaper Champ uses regular size trash bags where the Diaper Genie requires special refills. I can't speak for anyone else, but personally, the idea of having to constantly buy expensive refills for my diaper pail, when we already have trash bags in the house, is nuts.

As for the "smell" issue. Let's face it - diapers stink. And regardless of brand, ANY diaper pail still needs to be emptied on a regular basis. As for the Diaper Genie vs the Diaper Champ, I have seen no difference in odor control between the two brands - both work pretty well to contain and control odor better than a regular trash barrel, but neither are odor proof.

5.0 out of 5 stars From a First Time Father - I love this thing, June 4, 2005
By Joseph M. Siegler (Garland, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have to say I was very much the stereotypical guy before my daughter was born. "I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE ANY DIAPERS!" To an extent that is still the case, but I'm no doofus - I know I have to, and I do - at least a couple times a day. Anyway, the main reason I didn't want to is the stink. Now there's not much you can do about the diaper when it comes off your kid, but the New & Improved Diaper Genie works wonders! Unless I'm going to empty the thing (which is done outside into the large trash can anyway), the inside of the house is kept stink free by this gadget.

The way it works is you push the diaper down into the bag, twist the top a few times, creating a "diaper sausage". The sausages are kept sealed up, which is where most of the smell prevention comes from, I would imagine. I had a relative back home who swore by this thing, so it went on my wife's and mine baby registry.

I'm glad we did. This thing works great. The only downside I see to it is that you have to buy refills for it. But I consider that a worthwhile expense if it helps keep diaper stink away.

Not sure where all these negative reviews are coming from, unless it's from people who don't know how to properly use the thing.
