Diaper pail users: 1 How has it worked with containing odor; 2 Has the plastic liner absorbed the odor, and if so have you been able to get rid of it?

I have been using this for diapers. 1. It's not perfect at containing odors, but it's acceptable for mild-smelling diapers (pee or breastmilk poop). It would not be acceptable for solids-eating baby poop. There is a faint odor near the can when it's opened even with mild-smelling diapers. 2. The plastic liner does get smelly, but it does not seem to absorb odor. A quick wipe down with a Lysol wipe has it smelling nice again when it happens (infrequently). I use this with plastic bags inside, though -- I don't use it with the plastic interior bin only.

Don't use to contain diapers. Just bathroom tissue and q-tips, works very well for what we use them for, keep german shepherd out of the trash!

I can't speak for non diaper dekor liners as I don't know what they look like. But I don't believe regular trash bags will work very well in this pail. The way it's designed, I don't think there's anything for the regular bag to hold onto at the top.

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...

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

Frankly, I've only used it in the litter box, and to freshen the room it is in. I turn to Nature's Miracle for the serious stuff, since this isn't meant as a "cleaner" per se, just an odor eliminator. But even Nature's Miracle, like the comments below suggest about PA, needs to soak all the way into wherever the urine is, AND then dry properly. You may have to lift up the carpet to do so. I've heard some folks say that if it gets into the cement or wood below, it can be hard to completely eliminate the smell, no matter what product you use.

I've found the only thing that gets rid of that rank smell of urine odor in plastic is baking soda. I use about 2/3 cup per gallon of hot water, then let it sit 2-3 hours or overnight.

Not that I've noticed after looking at it and also by using it. I have 2 babies, so I'm not raccoon. But I can sniff a dirty diaper a foot away. :)

I have their diaper sprayer and it works well. Only issue is that sometimes poop gets caught in beteeen liner and cotton, so you have to remember to spray inside their as well.

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've used this and the liquid version in my front loading HE washer and the diapers come out clean. Sometimes the liners will stain, but there is never any residue or ammonia smells leftover. Be sure to follow the recommendations for washing cloth diapers in whatever kind of washer you have - high efficiency washers often need alternate settings for cloth diapers since you will want more water for them.

I'm not sure about the products you mentioned either. However, this pail is specifically designed to hold the diaper dekor disposable liner refill dispenser thing (not sure exactly what to call it) - it is not like a regular trash can inside so there may not be a way to hold your liner in place. As the previous person said, however, you could always return it if it doesn't work for you. Amazon has a very good return policy.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

I don't see why not; you could use disposable trash bags or reusable wet bags to contain the diapers and the odor. You could use the pail without a bag, but I would think it'd be messier and potentially more odorous.

I use the Planetwise bag liner. I just throw it in the wash with the diapers.

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

I found that the strongest odor was coming from all of the plastic bags as opposed to the rebounder (including the bag the CD/DVD came in). I trashed all the bags the first day, but it was too late....the odor lingered for a while. I would trash the bags immediately, because even with the box just sitting inside the house I smelled the odor.

It may, but I have no idea. I'm using it for a dirty diaper pail, and it's not working. It may be fine with lesser odors. Good luck.
