There are quite a few diaper pails out there on the market...The Diaper Dekor, Champ, Genie, Arm & Hammer Munchkin and the list goes on. Most have their own special bags so that your initial $35 dollar purchase costs you another $5 every month. ($60 a year for 2+) So you go out and buy one of these fancy plastic trash cans and everything is smooth sailing until your baby starts on solid food and you realize that while you felt you were getting your monies worth by filling the bag to the brim in the past you can no longer do so because at half full no brand of room deodorizer or air purifier can put a dent in the stench. You add baking soda or maybe you even have the one that does it for you every time you close the lid. Still, no help. So what happened? Why did this great diaper pail that got so many rave reviews fail?
The answer is in the third sentence above...plastic. The other answer is that waste stinks. Literally. Plastic absorbs odors my friends so eventually no matter what fancy frills your plastic diaper pail has it can not over come this simple fact. Eventually your little saving grace will be your little stinking grace. So what can we do?
Unless you can take the little balls of offensive odor out to the garage every time(better your garage stinking than the nursery) you have only one pail option...stainless steel.
The pail pictured above is the VIPP Stainless Steel Diaper Pail. It comes in a variety of colors and you can have this pretty little paper weight in your home for the heart-stopping price of $248. Don't worry, you don't need your eyes checked. I actually typed that a diaper pail was over $200. Some models are even over $300. Before you get bent out of shape at the injustice, anyone who has ever shopped for a kitchen or bath stainless trash can knows that they have a higher price tag. The model above has a super smell stopping seal but most any stainless trash can will do. So trade in your old plastic stinky relic and upgrade to a stainless and see firsthand why it is #1 in the #2 business.
