Has anyone used this as a diaper pail? How's the smell? I'm looking for a solution where I can use compostable bags instead of fancy inserts.

We are currently using this as a diaper pail. The lid does randomly open. It's not going crazy like the video others posted but it is spooky. The only time I notice an odor is after we've changed the bag. The lid is air tight(if its not flapping around)

We're using it as a diaper pail also, and it does not smell, it works fine.

I use it also for diaper as well as garbage. When I remove bag the garbage can smell I have to spray it a few time to remove the smell. If I could return this trash can I would. I'm not at all happy with this trash can.

I don't use it as a diaper pail, but the deodorizer does nothing, it smells. I would imagine that if the diapers are smelly this would not be successful in keeping it out.

We're using it exclusively as a diaper pail, and I wouldn't say that there's never any smell, but we don't notice anything most of the time. It's been smelling occasionally in the last couple weeks, but we've been using it for 8 months now, so I'm going to see if replacing the carbon filter will stop the smell.

I would not use as a diaper pail. The commercial diaper keepers have small openings for a reason. It is to keep the odor out of the room.

We spray the diapers if they have poop on them. We are using cloth diapers.We purchased the large pail because we have twins. The boy weighs 5 pounds and the girl weighs about 4 pounds. Although the diapers are many, they aren't soiled enough to create mold. The material the pail is made from I am hoping would prevent mold. I personally would wash the dirty diapers before they filled the entire container.

You can buy corn based home compostable liners that fit pretty much any compost bin. Also, you can make one out of newspaper. And just one note, the point of a compost pail is to compost and make good soil for a garden, not to throw it in the trash. Regular plastic bags don't break down so basically whatever is in them is mumified for eternity. Composting eliminates waste and makes yummy plant food.

I have the Dekor Plus. Did not do any diaper pail comparisons when I bought it so I don't know how it compares to others. However, I have been satisfied with it. The planet wise bag fits fine inside. I have not had any odor leak issues. Bag is easy to put in and take out. I wash my diapers every 2.5 days which also is about the time the pail seems full. (I use Flip inserts.) I have been using this product 3 months now.

Yep, just bag it up first. I may feel a little awkward pushing it through the friction-based opening of the diaper pail though. Diapers are more rigid and are easier to push through the top.

works for cloth diapers with a planet wise pail liner. there is a spot for the liner to hang inside the pail. the pail gets full after about 15 pocket diapers(i use bumgenius 4.0's). but its no problem i usually keep my cloth diaper loads to about 12-15 diapers anyways.

I cloth diaper and I love this pail for the kitchen but its too large for diapers unless you have multiples. I decided to go with a smaller, cheap plastic step can for the diapers.

These are not meant to be used for the munchkin diaper pail. These bags are to be used on the go. You put diaper, wipes, wet clothes, etc. In the bag and tie it up. They work great and keep the smell contained. The other bags are pricey but you can fit a lot of diapers in.

These are nice for poopy diapers, you can put the diapers in these bags on the go and they keep the smell enclosed. I'm sure they would do the same for dogs if you need to. Standard doggie bags do not have the odor control these bags have.

yes you can use it for compost,i do .i use it in my potatoe patch with the manure,works great the pellets that haven't broken down will help to slowly spread out the urine and phosphates so there is virtually no smell at all.it is untreated and all natural,so you can use it in your organic food gardens.makes great compost.

I don't know- we don't use the bags. We hose out the pail 1-2x per week and then wash with soap and water. So far NO smell.

The pail opening is not very large, just large enough for baby diapers. Adult diapers may be a tight fit.

see the main web page, click on " See more product details" for the dimensions. We use it as a kitchen garbage pail. It's a little low to the ground, but that's the trade off if you want to use recycled grocery bags. However, recycled grocery bags will also fit into the bigger round ones but we didn't want something tall.

I haven't used it for my dog, but I don't think so. You have to push the diaper through the top, you can't just drop it in. I don't see why it wouldn't work as far as the smell, but I don't think you are going to want to push a bag of dog poop through the top.

Regular garbage bags for diapers? Yes it will contain it somewhat. My baby is still only breast fed, we use cloth diapers and a wet bag cloth diaper liner and I never smell anything. Granted she isn't on solid food yet but I still feel like this pail contains smells pretty good.

I just bought these bags, my daughter wears size 4 diapers and there is plenty of space for a diaper. The smell is fine to cover poopy diapers.

I'm not sure. But what I can tell you after buying this diaper pail back in 2012 is that we got rid of ours because it never kept the smell inside of the pail. With our second baby, we asked for the Tommy Tipee diaper pail which seals the diaper in plastic. It's a bit more expensive but we like it much better. Actually we just gave the Diaper Genie away on Craigslist last week.
