Diaper odor solutions

It is just too cold to take the diapers out every time...stainless steel trash can?  Diaper genie?

Love my Ubbi. We empty once a week now and I'll hit it with a spray of Lysol before the next bag goes in. No special trash bags, contains the smell, and has a lock if you have pets or toddlers. I did have to empty more often when LO was a newborn and I was home every day.

It will work as a normal trash can when the time comes.

I still use a stainless steel trash can and have a fabreeze stick on thing inside the lid. I try to empty at the end of the day (or right away) if there's a poop diaper in there, but when she's at DC during the week I only need to empty it every coupe days.

We used to throw out diapers in the kitchen trash (open air stainless steel trash can). It never smelled. Now we have an Arm & Hammer diaper pail. I hate it. It's gross. It smells. I wish we could just go back to using the kitchen trash. We can only take the trash out on Monday and Friday. But even if we could empty the diaper pail every other day, I still hate pushing the poopy diapers in it.

We have a diaper detkor (sp?) and but ended up using a large stainless steel garbage can that's in the mud room. It's just easier to empty. If LO has a really bad diaper, you can definitely smell it but we're hardly in that area of the house so it works for us.

We still have our diaper genie from my son who is 3. I don't know if it's because he stopped pooping in diapers around 2 years 7 months or we're lucky, but the thing has no scent whatsoever.

I think you collectively have convinced us to go stainless steel. We did cloth the first year without much issue and then an open air plastic can that didn't get super stinky but did cause our whole house to smell on occasion. A few months ago, we switched to a closed-lid plastic bin, and it reeks, even with many odor-fighting sticky things. Even when it is empty, it smells slightly from the outside, but is extremely strong when opened. DH will not even put pee-diapers in--he just sets them on the lid b/c it is just too awful to open it. With sweet AJ starting solids and my toddler hating the potty, I think an investment in stainless steel is probably the best choice.

We have the munchkin diaper pail. My friends always comment that her room never smells so that must be a good sign.
We tried an open stainless steal and it was gross to me. Plus as a toddler I didn't want her messing with them or the dogs getting into them.
