Playtex Diaper Genie Pail — 

We purchased this item when I was pregnant because all the books and magazines said we needed to and everyone raved about the Diaper Genie.  I couldn't wait to use it, I was sure it would take care of all our nasty gross smelly diapers and would be neat to use too!  The first time we used it after our daughter was born, it bundled up one diaper and then promptly jammed.  We didn't realize it was jammed however until we put in the second diaper and ended up with a big smelly mess on our hands.  We just figured we weren't doing it right, so we got out the instruction book and tried again.  After following the  instructions to a T with the same results we gave up and just used plastic grocery bags to bag up the mess and toss away.  This is an expense a new parent does not need, especially when the thing doesn't work.  Save yourself some hard cash that you can use on diapers instead and don't buy the Diaper Genie!
