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!
Here are the details of this awesome contest:
- 15 of my Canadian readers are going to win a Playtex Diaper Genie Elite (ARV $45.99 each)

I have a baby due at the end of the month and I do not have a Diaper Genie. I would love to try it out.
With a 1 month old & 13 month old i would definitely love to try this out with the amount of diapers i go through in a day 🙂
my niece would love this.
Would love to try this as I have 2 toddlers and a new baby on the way. I don’t want my toddlers getting into the diaper pail:)
I would love to try this as its our first child, were going to be in a small apartment for who knows how long, and in the middle of winter I don’t want to be running diapers out the building to the dumpster!
I would like to try the Diaper Genie Elite system because my sister had an older version and she loved it!

BF babypoop is OK…solids poop, not OK
what a great way to get rid of those smelly diapers
I’ve had my eyes on one of these for awhile. Its my go to baby gift, but for some reason I don’t have one myself!
I’ll give it to my niece.
I have a 5 month old and am really not looking forward to him starting solids. I think we could really use a diaper genie for that!
’cause the one I have now…stinks! Literally! lol 😉
Since we’re TTC we would love to try one of these out since we’ve love to be as clean as possible when changing diapers, ha ha ha ha!!
I’d like to see….can this really hide the smell of those poopy diapers, it is user friendly? I’de like to find out. 🙂
we had one when my sister had her baby, that was 10 years ago. i want to see how they have improved since then
I would just love to gift one of these to a friend who just had their first baby, I am sure they don’t own one and these seem awesome!
I would love to win this for my cousin. She is expecting her first baby and needs everything!

I would love to win this for my son and his new baby.
I am used to the old pail and solution mixture to soak cloth diapers once they were rinsed so this would be
great to try

I would like to try out and leave a review because with two kids in diapers at home, I found that it really stink in the bedroom and I have to constantly empty the garbage bin in the bedroom and leave them out in our garage …
Would love to try this item!
With 2 little ones in diapers this would be very useful!
My LO’s are day-trained now (yippee!) but alas we’re still at the diapers at night stage with both of them. For whatever reason, their morning diapers are pretty darn foul… I’d love to be able to contain the smell a bit (so our poor main bath is usable without a close pin.
Mine is broken!! Also, it’s the only thing that hides the dirty diaper smell!
Would love to win this! Awesome prize!
I would love to try the Playtex Diaper Genie! My little one goes through a lot of diapers in one day, & it would be wonderful to contain the diapers (and the smell…lol). Thank you for this great giveaway! Fingers crossed:)
I have heard that these are so awesome!! I would love to try one!
Love mine that I have and would love to win as they make great baby gifts or we could use another one in our house as we change diapers both up and downstairs and are also hoping for another baby before our first one is out of diapers! There is always a use for such a wonderful product!
My 2nd is due soon and the first is still in diapers – this would be useful!
I’d love to try one of these out as I just ran out of liners for our old one and they can’t be bought anymore that I can find anyways. Our house is getting stinky!! lol
I currently bag the dirty diapers and throw them on the deck ,to be put in a garbage bag outside, would love to review
thanks
We don’t have one right now and it’s stink up her room when I opened the door.
I’d love to try one of these. We’ve used the older version, and it’s been pretty good so far.
I’m a cloth diapering mom, but as Carter is growing and things are getting more…stinky. I would prefer to start disposables and the diaper genie seems like a great way to keep the stench out.
Anything that assists in diaper disposal would be great!
I have 2 little ones in diapers…this would be great!
would love to try one out and review!
My SIL is having a baby this winter and this would be awesome for her. Reviewing would be fun!
The smell of a dirty diaper turns my stomach…would love a way to fix that…:)
I hate poopy diapers SO much. I can clean them up but the smell…. I would rather clean a litter box
I don’t have the elite, but I do have a diaper genie and I wouldn’t recommend to any new parent to be without one. But I sure could use a second one. One for the nursery and one for the bathroom.
I had one for my children years back and I would love to win one for my sister for her baby
I’d love to win this for my son’s room. Keeps stinky messes controlled!
wouldn’t want a smelly apartment! 🙂 A diaper genie would (hopefully) be great!
I would love to win one because I just throw diapers out in the outside garbage- it’s getting cold, would love to make that trip just once a week or so!
I’d love to try this because I babysit my nephew all the time and don’t have one in my home. I hate having to take the garbage out every single day!
This is gonna sound weird..but I would like one for my kitty cats litter,,lol,,that gets pretty smelly too when cleaning the litter box every day and putting it in bags and the garbage,,Im guessing this would serve the same purpose for kitty litter as diapers?! 🙂
I used to have the first Diaper Genie when it first came out. You know, the old-school one! I would love to try this one and see the difference, especially with baby #3 in the works 😉
I am just beginning to feed my daughter solid food, so we have many stinky diapers coming our way!
I would love to win one to help keep those stinky diapers under control!
I have a small home daycare, so I would use a diaper genie every day.
With a 3 month old in the house we will be going through lots of diapers yet and right now they get tossed in bathroom garbage or kitchen garbage.
Any family could use this…why not I.
This would be perfect in our house with baby #3 on the way!!
THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR OUR NURSERY!
My daughter, love her to bits, has the stinkiest poops ever!
I have a baby and those diapers stink to high heaven. This would be great!
I’d love to try this out because my sister in law is having her first baby soon and she’s staying with us. We usually only have to take a bag of garbage out once a week sometimes once every two weeks. Would be nice to have somewhere for the stinky diapers to sit until the bags ready to be taken out.
there’s only one garbage bin in our house, and its in the kitchen…so when we dump diapers..the smell during dinner..argh!
I could really use this at my place for my littlest grandson.
I’d love to win a Diaper Genie system – our first is on the way and we were looking at them at Babies ‘R’ Us just the other night. Coincidence?
we’re expecting our first in December and this would be a VERY welcomed addition to the nursery!
Best product ever!!!
I would love to try this for my extremely pregnant friend. She’s struggling as a new single mom and I’d love to help her out.
Dont have one, would love to try it
because i am sick of the stinky diapers!! 🙂
I would love to have this for my new grandbaby
The Diaper genie is definitely one of the best inventions for keeping stinky diapers at bay. I had one of these with my boys and it was great not to have to deal with a nasty-smelling diaper pail in the baby’s room. Good luck everyone!
I had one older version for my first child, now I am expecting my second baby, would like to see what is the improvement of the Diaper genie 🙂
I would love to try one of these out. I have the Arm & Hammer pail right now but I heard that nothing beats the diaper genie. I am expecting baby #2 in 4 weeks so this would be AWESOME!!!
Would love to try this to avoid having to stink up my organic food bin!
As first time parents, we’d love to try this out.
I would absolutly love the chance to try one of these out. I had considered buying one but with being on a budget we decided the money would be better spent on something we absolutly needed.
Just found out last night , our daughter is expecting our first grandchild and there is so much to buy! Winning this would be a wonderful first item for our coming grandson, if there is one thing about babies that has always remained the same, dirty diapers do not smell like a bouquet of roses….lol….
no more smelly diapers in my garbage
I would love the opportunity to try out and review one of these Diaper Genie Elite systems because I run a home day care five days a week; three babies, all under two years old, and all in diapers. Things can get a little smelly around here sometimes 😉
Nothing better than a diaper genie.
i would love to win this for my sister, she has a 6 month old and another one on the way 🙂
It’s such a great thing to have when dealing with the odour. I’d be anxious to see how it performs.
i would like to give this to my friend who just had a baby. My daughter is potty trained now. Thank good ness!!
Need one for the new baby arriving soon!
I would love to have this for when I’m watching my nephew. He is adorable but the smells he leaves in my trash are not!
I’d like to try it because I have an 18 month old and a newborn with no diaper pail system.
I hate using my kitchen garbage for stinky diapers!
I love mine, and I would love to share it with my sister who is having her a baby.
I have the original diaper genie! My sis is expecting her first and I would love to share this with her!
THANKS!
🙂 would love to try this out 🙂
I would like to give it a try to see if it really work that good..
Would love to win one of these!
would love to have one for my babies room so it doesn’t stink 🙂
we currently dont have a proper diaper disposal system. We use a rubbermaid container and plastic bags!
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!!
