Who among you has used all four types of bags There's two types of Litter Locker bags, the Diaper Genie II bags, and the Playtex Diaper Genie II bags. If you can, which was best and why?

I hate how quickly the refill rings run out and how hideously expensive they are. I started using white kitchen garbage bags and anchoring the corners to the outside of the locker using green painter's tape (no residue). The kitchen bags are stronger and bigger than regular grocery bags and a package of 100 is less than the cost of just TWO of the refill rings. I have a multi-cat household and am back to changing the bag once a week, rather than every other day.

Hi Luv,Sorry, I haven't tried all four bags. Just the refill rings. I'm so pleased with the white garbage bag solution that I've been telling everyone - even people I see buying refills in the store. It's not really relevent to this discussion so I shouldn't have said anything. Sorry about that.

To B. Langman,I recall reading your post when I went through them all, and wondered then, and now if there would be a penalty for abandoning two of the others? One has 5 layers, the other 7, and that makes for sturdier bags, I would think.If you couldn't use white garbage bags, and you responded to my initial quest for someone who has used all four types of bags, which of them was your favorite, and why?

My genie came with one set of bags, and we've been using it for 4 weeks (one cat). Just to be on the safe side, I bought a package of two refills for when the original one runs out. Very happy with the product; no odor at all. We keep it in the bathroom and scoop often, keeping the finicky cat happy!

They are similar. The Diaper Genie cartridge body is a bit smaller. It can tend to fall through. I put some caulking cord around the outside rim of the Diaper Genie body, (a type of weatherstripping, found in hardware stores). This helps keep them from slipping.

I use double doodie toilet waste bags or bedside toilet liners by medline. Size specs r comparable to a medium waste can bag. But you really need to buy the other ones because of the odor control that's in the bags. Hope this helps! You can buy them on amazon or walgreens.

Are you pulling enough of the blue liner/bag down? I tie a knot at the end and pull it till it is long enough to hit the bottom when the genie lid is closed. Once it starts to fill up and I notice the diapers don't drop down anymore, that is when I empty. I also notice it works better on a hard surface rather than carpet. I hope this helps you.

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

Hi! I have tried with no luck purchasing other garbage bags. I have since purchased the simply human bags and have not looked back. To me it's worth the investment.

Litter Locker Original refill cartridges cannot be used with the Litter Locker 2. However, LL2 works much more efficiently and it is definitely worth upgrading (I've owned both).

Yes, I have the litter box genie and it is a great system. The refills work very well.

You'd want a liner or trash bag for diapers anyway. Otherwise the can itself will start to smell.

We use the Planet Wise liners. I will say that now that we have been using this for just over 2 years, it has been great, but if we wait longer than every other day to do diaper laundry now that our son has more inserts in his diapers, the lid does not close all the way - it's not a big deal to us, because we keep it next to the washing machine in the laundry closet, and we do diaper laundry at least every third day, and usually every other day. Just wanted to let you know. Also, the little hole on the top became pretty useless after our son was out of newborn diapers. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Reusable-Diaper-Avocado/dp/B003XSEV2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405605929&sr=8-1&keywords=diaper+pail+liner

Probably 4 but I usually only use it for 1. I didn't buy a diaper genie, I just have a regular trash can in my sons room. So when he has a poopy one I put the diaper in these bags, tie it off and put it in his regular trash can and it allows me to only take the trash out once a week without smelling. They're also very convenient if you're at a friends house and don't want to put a stinky dirity diaper in their trash. Also, these work as "wet bags" too if your baby spits up or poops out and you don't want to dirty clothes touching anything in the diaper bag!

Maybe. The cartridge looks similar. I don't know if it's the exact geometry to fit the Litter Locker, though. Probably worth a few bucks to find out, especially if the Diaper Genie bags are cheaper.

Yes. The diaper genie holds adult size diapers. I use it for my mother's adult diapers and have no difficulty. No difficulty at all. Zero. And she is not a small woman. She uses either the medium or large size diapers.

This does not fit a diaper genie. There is an etsy shop that makes reuseable liners for diaper genie and diaper genie II elite which tucks into the empty refill ring. Honestly, this liner works bes/I use it in a 40L simple human step can as it's the size of a tall kitchen trash bag.

I've never used the litter genie,only because I came across this one first. I can say I am very satisfied with this one. I have 4 cats and a filler bag lasts me about 6weeks. I empty the bag/tie it off and remove litter once a week and I have never had any odor issues. Hope this helps.

over time I have switched to other bladders. My favorite right now is http://www.geigerrig.com/. I have tried Camelbaks and Platypus bags but I find the geigerrig's ability to turn inside out the easiest to clean and keep dry. The problem with the sawyer bags are they are hard to keep clean and the handles/small hole at the bottom tear under full weight of water (or maybe a bit more if you hang it wrong) so they become (imo) worthless. If I had to do it all over again, i would just order the filter and make my own system with it. Just my .02
