Playtex Diaper Genie II Review

The Diaper Genie II is a wonderful addition to our nursery.  It is so easy to use... just pop open the lid and shove the diaper in, close the lid, and you are done!  The refils are very easy to put into the contraption, and it is very easy to open it up for taking the dirty diapers out once it is full (maybe every 20-30 diapers or so).  It has a cutting device inside that makes it very easy to cut the bag off and then you just tie up the bag of dirty diapers, and tie a knot on the end of the new section of bagging.  Even after having diapers sit inside the Diaper Genie for several days, there is no smell.  My husband doesn't even mind taking the dirty diapers out of this thing!  I think that the price on it is very reasonable for something that improves the task of diaper changing.  The only problem we have ever had with our Diaper Genie is that my mom has a hard time opening the lid, so she is constantly putting the diapers on top of it for me to take care of later.  She must not be putting her fingers in the right place for opening it though as I have never had a problem.  I suppose that in her case, the remedy for that would have been to pay the $10 extra for the Diaper Genie Elite that you can open with your foot.  No complaints on my part though!  I am a fan!
