Diaper Champ vs. Diaper Genie


Danalana wrote: Ok, I got both as gifts. A friend of mine said she had the genie, but then got the chamo and loved it so much more. She said you can use any bag instead of special ones you have to buy. SO, I took the genie back. But do any of you have experience with both?

Jackie012007 replied: I had both - I totally agree with your friend. I have the pink Diaper Champ and I LOVE IT - all you have to do is get the medium sized garbage bags and it does a really good job at keeping the stink in. I use scented garbage bags, too. I hated my diaper genie and gave it away!

Calimama replied: The Diaper genie SUCKS. That's all I know. rolling_smile.gif

lovemy2 replied: I have used both and love the Diaper Champ - use your own bags and I throw three or four dryer sheets in it everytime I change the bag so it really never smells bad thumb.gif

Danalana replied: Do you put them in the bag or in the thing itself?

CantWait replied: I had the Genie, and HATED it. Because of the bags, but more so because of the smell. dry.gif dry.gif

Danalana replied: I'm not feelin' any genie love in here laugh.gif

booey2 replied: We had the diaper genie for Matt 10years ago, never used it with Thomas. If we have any more kids we won't use it as our city now takes the diapers in our green/composting garbage so we can't just throw them out with the trash. It really wasn't worth the mony in buying the bags. It was given to us second hand with the bags, I never did buy more. Just took the offensive diapers out side to the garbage can there.

Danalana replied:
Should it have been called the Diaper doo-doo head?

Calimama replied:
At least then it wouldn't be false advertising. emlaugh.gif

Danalana replied: Diaper LOSER.

Danalana replied: What about Diaper LOSER?

luvmykids replied: I had a genie but never used it....I just put the offending diaper in a plastic grocery bag and took it straight to the trash can outside.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I have only owned a Champ, but those of my friends who had the Genie ALL either returned it or went out and got a Champ instead. You made the right choice IMO. wink.gif

A&A'smommy replied: yeah the diaper genie sucks big time, never tried the champ though!! wink.gif

jem0622 replied: I would take whichever one you got back, and buy an inexpensive trashcan for the nursery (if you even do that). They are a waste, IMHO. I use the grocery bags and put the stinky diapers in them and tie them closed and put them in the regular trash. I put the wet ones in the regular trash, and do not tie them off in a separate bag. Why add cost if you have other cost to deal with? Ya know?

JMHO.

Crystalina replied: I had the Diaper Genie (got it as a gift) and I'm not sure they had all the others out yet (6yrs ago) so I'm not familiar with them at all. The DG was a pain in the butt. Let me tell you right now it's just soooo much easier to put them in the dang trash. I tried to use the DG and by the time you have a crying baby and you need to make a bottle and you have laundry piling up...the extra time it takes to work those things is not worth it. Just throw it in the trash. wink.gif
