To Genie or Not to Genie?

In almost every house I walk in, there are diaper genies.  It goes with the territory.  In almost every case, upon walking into the children’s room, the parent says,”Oh, I need to change that diaper genie.  It smells in here!”.  It doesn’t matter if it needs to be changed, or was just changed, the diaper genie has a hanging odor that can be nauseating at times.  If you want to avoid this, I would purchase a regular old trashcan, line it with a kitchen bag, and wrap up those poopie diapers in a plastic bag.  The room may smell for a short period, but at least you control when to dispose of those diapers.  Additionally, taking out the baby “garbage” is much easier than changing a diaper genie!
