A lot has changed since I had my first child in 2004. One of the biggest products then was a new(er) product on the market – the Diaper Genie. I remember my mom and even my older sisters scoffing at the idea of a diaper disposal system. “Diapers belong in the garbage,” they would tell me. It makes perfect sense for us disposal diapering parents, but if you’ve ever opened a garbage at the end of the day with even just “pee” diapers inside, you know that the odor isn’t pretty, and certainly doesn’t belong under your kitchen sink.
And so, we used the Diaper Genie with our first, and my husband and I joked about the sausage-roll-of-diapers as we called it when I was time to empty it.
Then our second…and third…children came around and we got lazy. We started tossing diapers one by one in plastic shopping bags onto the deck. And then we started tossing them in the kitchen garbage. Or the bathroom garbage. Oh yeah, we’ve totally slacked (third child coping mechanisms I suppose). So, given the opportunity to check out the Diaper Genie Elite system once again, 8 years later, I figured why not!
We’ve had our new Playtex Diaper Genie Elite in our home this week and are getting used to one-stop diaper disposal again. The bags inside are odor-free, for the most part, but I still don’t like having to empty the unit myself and leave that as one of my husband’s tasks. Still, if you want to have an easy place to dispose of your diapers and not have them sitting on your back step or deck until someone decides to take the garbage to the curb, this system might be worth a try!

I would like to give it to a friend
Because stinky diapers are horrible!!
I’d love to try this out. I hate going all the way out to the garbage in the cold every time one of my kids poops!
I have been trying for 12yrs to have a baby and now I am due in July with twins and that is twice the diapers so just having something to put two poopie diapers in, would be awesome. Keep my house smelling better.
I would like to win & review this because I am due in 3 weeks and I am sure this will come in handy with those stinky baby diapers I will be facing for the next couple of years
Would love to try this system, I have just been using the garbage can since I had my son, and am getting sick of the stinky smell. I am expecting a second in January, so I will now have double the diapers, so this would be perfect!
a baby is in the near future and winning this would be a great start
My friend just had a new baby, and would love to give it to her.
I have a 4 month old who will be starting solids soon and would love one!
Hoping for a second baby soon, so this would be fantastic as I didn’t have one with my first!
Well, I have had an awful time trying to figure out how to keep my house from smelling like stinky diapers! I dont have much money, so to have the chance to try one of these out would be amazing!! Thanks so much for the chance!
This would be great as there are a few babies in my family!
I just welcomed baby #3 to our family one month ago and now have 3 children under 3 years old all at once!! My 3 year old is now potty trained but I still have 2 in diapers. We have been using the Diaper Champ (bought used on Kijiji – ewww!! LOL) and although it works well, I’m open to trying another system to compare. My diaper days are long from being over. Here’s hoping we win!!
i can’t stand this smell anymore
Would be nice to hold off the smells!
She just started solids and so the diapers are getting smellier so this would be ideal
Because my daugther’s diapers can pack quite the punch
I’d like to try one as my husband swears these won’t help I a believe they could. It would be nice to see who is right
Because I have a very strong sense of smell
i would like to give it to my best friend who just had alittle boy!
Would love to try a newer one! Looks great!
in the spring i put my house up for sale and my realtor told me i had to get my old diaper genie out of the house because people veiwing it wont like the smell.
i hate stinky diapers!!!
The new one looks sleek and modern!
I would give this to a friend to try if I won…
Just had a new baby.. And my old one broke..
I hope you meant the diaper genie and not the baby.
I would love my LO’s room NOT to smell like dirty diapers!
I WOULD LOVE THIS FOR MY 8MONTH OLD !
I would give it to my neice
would love to review this! would love to lose the stinky smell in babe’s room!
We have a 3.5 month old in the house and we just throw the diapers in the garbage right now. Would be super useful and hopefully would not stink up the house like it is doing now!!
