instead of the diaper genie my husband and i got a diaper pail from walmart. it's the same idea but much easier and less expensive. the pail was $14.99, and uses regular trash bags. you simply press a button on the lid and a small portion pops opens, allowing you to put in the used diaper. it'a good size too. i think i change the bag every three days or so.Ikeep it right next to my daughter's chagingtable, and it does keep the scent locked in. i highly recommend it.
