Playtex Diaper Genie Expressions Diaper Pail Fabric Sleeve, Blue Knit

OK, so full disclosure, I am not using this for diapers. As a cancer survivor with bladder incontinence issues, I use this pail to dispose of my incontinence pads. The pail I used before had a significant odor issues and had to be emptied frequently. I saw this one and figured I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. It is a little larger than I expected, not in the width and depth dimensions, but in the height. It is about 20" tall. It fits easily in a corner or in my case, behind the door to the toilet closet. It is a good size and holds a good amount of dirty pads (or diapers). It is easy to empty and I like the fact that you can do it easily and without a lot of stink. Not sure how many bags full I will get out of a single refill, but I am on three bags so far and it looks like I have quite a bit left. The refills are reasonably priced and available on Amazon. I am VERY happy that I tried this product out. I would give it an "excellent" in terms of a recommendation.

I'm writing this under an assumed name; you'll figure out why. This thing is the cat's whiskers! I should have gotten one long ago. I am an elderly man, a prostate cancer survivor of many years, and I experience urinary incontinence which requires that I use Depends Guards (absorptive pads). I have to use several pads each day and disposing of the soiled pads in my outdoor trash can is not always convenient. The problem is that the bag into which I would put the soiled pads smells - ugh! Nobody but me, so maybe it shouldn't matter, but I'd prefer my house not smell like a nursing home. Enter the Playtex Diaper Genie! I've been using it for about three weeks and there is no more odor! None! It sits next to the toilet and takes no more room than a --- well, it is less than a foot square, about 22 inches tall. When the release button is pushed, the top springs open and reveals a spring loaded gate which is covered by the top of the plastic bag into which the item (pad or diaper) will be placed. Press down on the item and the gate opens enough to allow entry and the gate then springs closed, sealing off the bag from the open area. No odor is detected during use nor after the top is closed. How much does the "bag" hold? Well, in my case the bag holds about a week of home use. Today is trash day, so I renewed the system and put the third "bag" in the trash can for pickup later this morning. That leads me to another question I have seen here: Does the diaper genie come with more than one bag? The genie comes with one "refill." I can't tell you exactly what the "refill" is because I haven't used a complete one yet. The "refill" is a tube of soft but strong plastic (polyethylene, I'd guess). After inserting the "refill" into the genie, you pull a bit of the plastic out and tie the open end into a knot. Just a single overhand knot is sufficient. Then you gently pull the knotted end down toward the bottom of the empty genie and close the top. This "top" is NOT the one used when inserting items; watch the video and you'll see it. You need not be too particular about how far down you pull the knotted end. Don't overdo it because you can adjust it later if you were too "stingy" in your first pull. Close the top and you're ready to use the genie. If you didn't pull the knotted end far enough, you can open the top again after some items are inside (the spring-loaded cover remains closed and no odor escapes!) and the weight of the contents will assist in pulling a bit more plastic out of the "refill" which remains in place. My first and second bags were a bit stingy, so I did adjust. By the third time, I had "the hang of it" (no pun intended) and did not have to further adjust. When you decide to renew the bag (either because it is full or just because you want to renew it), you open the top and pull more plastic out of the refill. You lift the plastic a big putting some tension on the refuse bag and holding the top of the plastic in both hands, slip the gathered plastic into the cutter plainly marked on the now-open top. Tie a knot in the free plastic at the top of the refuse bag and you are ready to lift the closed bag out of the genie and take it out to the trash. If you decide to squeeze the excess air out of the bag before tying the knot, you'll regret that decision and your nose will tell you to not do that next time! Live and learn! Now tie a knot in the plastic which is extending from the refill and pull the knot down to the bottom of the genie. Close the top and you're ready to go again. I'm on my fourth "bag" and there is no sign of the refill being empty. I'll update this when I get to the end. I purchased a 3-pack refill box because I didn't know how long the supplied refill would last. I need not have done that, and you need not do it either. You'll have plenty of time to order more refills after you decide how much you like the genie. The refills I purchased say that each contains 270 bags. Well, they aren't really "bags" and you could have more or fewer depending on how generous you are with your knotting. I also don't know if the supplied refill is the same size or contains fewer feet of plastic. If the refill is good for 270 "bags", I may not live long enough to tell you how much was in it. I'm a nine-year survivor, and I wish I had bought the Playtex Diaper Genie nine years ago! If I had done that, I'd be able to tell you how long the refill lasts! Buy this with confidence. I had no need for the Expressions cover; white suits me fine. "Your mileage may vary."

I was given the traditional Diaper Genie for my babyshower. My husband and I were never really impressed with it - it did a good job of hiding the diaper smell when it was closed, but as soon as you popped the lid open to put a diaper in, holy heckkkk, the smell was SO bad. It did not THAT many diapers, seemed VERY cheap when put together, and broke multiple times. My husband attempted to fix it each time, but eventually it just feel apart. We decided to get the Diaper Genie Expressions when we had to get a replacement, and we are pleased with it. While I wasn't sure how I would enjoy not having a foot pedal to open the lid, it seems to work out with the button. I am mindful of wrapping my diapers in a tight little bundle when I am done, since you have to make them fit in the hole, which doesn't seem to be a problem for me. It DOES hold more diapers (compared to the other). It is shorter, which doesn't bother me. We did not get any of the designs for the outside b/c I wasn't really concerned about that, so I can't comment on how well they work/look. But overall, pleased. Side Note: It also came put together in the box already, so we didn't have to worry about any assembly (unlike the to other one. AND it does us the same bags as the other diaper genie.

Having had this for a few weeks, I got this after dealing with the animal version for my cats and realizing that this would come in handy with the two toddlers and impending infant in my home daycare. Because it was getting tiresome to put the diapers in a dog poop bag, the put in the trash or straight up putting the diaper in the trash. The smell after a day was just gruesome. So, if the genie for cats works, what about the one for diapers? I like this. It's tall, it's easy enough to pop in the bags - and I can see easily substituting with a tall kitchen bag if I don't want to cough up for the refills. I do echo a complaint by others in that I wish the flap/hole for diapers was bigger. Toddler diapers are generally more spacious than infant diapers even when wrapped down to the smallest possible and I end up having to wedge it down into the genie and it's a little gross feeling, especially when it's a full diaper. I haven't bought the covers for it, I was wanting to see how I'd do with this genie. All in all, I find it's usefulness is just as good as the ones for my cat litter, it's nice and tall so I don't have to bend and it easily tucks away into a corner with stability. I'd buy it again, despite the small size of the opening. Oh, and not a smell at all, and there's about a week and a half worth of diapers in there from two kids :D

Facile a installer et mets un style a la poubelle.

It’s made of thin stretchy synthetic fabric which snugly fits around (see the photo). I was worried it’d look cheap or not very nice - but it’s great - simple yet pretty. Definitely recommend.

El bote de basura para pañales debería ser considerado como un artículo de primera necesidad. En los primeros meses del bebé cumple 100% con su función, no deja salir ningún tipo de olor, esperemos que con el tiempo y cuando sigan los sólidos sea igual. La calidad es muy buena; por ahí dice que venden unas fundas, pero considero que no son necesarias para decorarlo, el tono del blanco del plastico es bueno. La altura del bote es muy buena. Compre este que es manual y no tiene el pedal para abrirlo, porque con otro tipo de botes de basura el pedal suele dejar de funcionar muy rápido y con este no quise correr el riesgo. Considero que las bolsas son un poco costosas, pero al final vale la pena el gasto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Fun was to customize your diaper genie! Fits perfect and quality is good

No deja salir olores, contiene muchos pañales y no ocupa mucho espacio
