I can’t believe my life has come to this, but I am writing a review abut diaper pails. But, I feel that my gained knowledge about #2s is worthy of being passed on, and although it might sound a little silly, I have become strangely enamored with my diaper pail, the Dekor.We have 5 kids, and over the years, I’ve changed a lot of diapers. The first diaper pail we got years ago was a diaper genie, and I was never a fan. My biggest complaint was that after you had changed the diaper, you had to push said stinky, gross, and sometimes - otherworldly large diaper thru a small hole on the genie… squishing it to fit into a small hole would often cause, let’s call it “spillage”, that would get poop on your hand, on the pail, and generally places where you don’t want poop. Remember, you are doing this while holding your bundle of everlasting joy in one arm while reaching down to stuff the otherworldly large diaper into an unfathomably small hole. Not an easy task.And then, we discovered the Dekor. It rocks. Why? It’s HANDS FREE. Game changer. It has a foot pedal that opens the pail, then you simply drop the diaper thru the trap door. That’s it! Let me tell you, when it’s 3 a.m., and you are a zombie from lack of sleep, you need this process to be as simple as possible. I shudder to think the number of diapers that I have changed over the years, but this diaper pail makes it a lot easier than it was with the Genie.There is another pail that we looked at, the Ubbi, that cost quite a bit more and is made of metal. I looked at in in the store, and it also requires bending over, and sliding a door open, inserting a diaper, and then sliding it closed when finished. Kind of a pain to do every time you change a diaper. It is made of metal, so it shouldn’t absorb odors like the diaper genie did, but the Dekor is made of ABS that doesn’t absorb odors either, so I don’t see the big deal. Another think about the metal pails. In my research (isn’t it a bit sad that I’ve done research? – We really need to get out more), the manufacturer says to clean with a dry cloth. No cleaning products or even water. Ok, that is just gross. With Dekor, clean with whatever household cleaner you want, let’s kill any germs that are hanging around.Bags. Different pails have different systems. Some use household kitchen bags, some use cartridges of bags. Dekor comes with a loaded refill, and in my opinion, that is the way to go. You use what you need, and then switch out the bag. We tried using a kitchen bag instead of the refill in the Dekor, and it was ok, but honestly, we preferred the refill. It’s always there and ready to go, you only use what you need, and in the long run I bet it costs about the same.Stink. Stank. Stunk. – (Prepare for more wisdom). Poop stinks. Shocking isn’t it? There's a reason every diaper pail that's been around more than a couple months has a bunch of 1 star reviews. Go look at all the other product. Notice they're all about 3.5 or 4 stars. Then click on the 1 star link for each of them and you'll see what I mean. You'll see dozens of people talk about how each product is terrible and every pail sticks to high heaven. Mostly that's because people have unrealistic expectations that buying a diaper pail means you never have to smell poopy diapers. This is compounded by the fact that the poop only starts to smell once your bundle of everlasting joy begins eating solids. So when you first bring the baby home you think everything is great and the pail is working perfectly and then all of the sudden the pail is terrible and horrible and is broken... Well it's not broken, your baby's poop just didn't used to stink and now it does. Here's the truth, no matter which on you buy, you're gonna smell poop. whether it's when you open the lid or remove the bag, they all allow a little stank to escape. Dekor is no different, it just allows less than the others. Sometimes we go a few days between changing the bag, sometimes we switch it out quicker due to one of those otherworldly poops. The box for the Dekor says it can hold 60 diapers. We might have gone close to that with some newborn diapers, but once the poop got serious, we never waited that long.Reading back over this, I can’t believe I just wrote a manifesto on diaper pails. But, I thought I would share some of the knowledge I have gained over thousands of diapers. I just think the Dekor works. It’s the easiest to use of all the diaper pails by far, and handles the smell. I highly recommend it.

We currently have a Diaper genie in our child’s nursery, but we set up a changing station downstairs for when our 2nd LO arrived. At first we just tossed the diapers in the trash, which filled our trash cans too quickly and smelled the place up! I didn’t want to move the diaper genie because we still change diapers there as well and the lid has since broken. When going to buy a second one I stumbled upon the Dekor Diaper pail. The reviews were pretty good and this one would be more visible so I decided to buy it.Using and having both, I can confidently say that the Dekor Diaper pail is the way to go!! I’m so disappointed that I didn’t know about it when we got our diaper genie. Here’s what I love about it:-Dekor holds the scent much better than the DG (this could also be that the Dekor is new and the DG is a year old, so we’ll see if that changes.)-Its so much easier and faster to empty the Dekor and the built in bag cutter is a gem I didn’t know I needed. As I said we have the DG in the nursery and I Hate that I keep a pair of scissors (child safety kind but still) in that room just so I can cut the bag every time it needs emptied. The Dekor has a blade built in and it’s Inside the door so I never have to worry about the littles getting into it.-The Dekor holds more. I only use the DG mainly for night changes now, and I’m finding I still empty the bag twice as often as the Dekor.-I don’t have to shove my hand into Dekor to push down a couple diapers to make room. GROSS. My biggest peeve with the DG is when you’re only a few diapers in, you have to start holding the pedal halfway to get your arm all the way in there to shove those suckers down. Think gloves you use for cow bums but the craps IN the glove where you put your hand. Nasty! Granted when the Dekor starts to get pretty full you may have to push down a bit to squeeze in those last few diapers, but the open design does not make my hand smell like fermented baby butt frosting, so I’ll take it.-Lastly I love that the Dekor will be able to be used as a trash can after diapers. Having a dual function just makes it that more efficient and I can’t argue with that.If you’re torn, my vote clearly goes to the Dekor and not the dirty cow glove the Diaper Genie turns out to be! Happy changing!***UPDATE*** 2/2022- purchased 12/20So id you see the dates, clearly we’ve had our Dekor for a bit. I wish I could give this more stars! Two of constant use between 2 growing boys and a 3rd baby on the way, and it still operates like new! It also has helped significantly against odors compared to the Genie as well as bags. I don’t buy bags or change bags as often as I did with the genie. So I’m happy to say, still VERY happy with this purchase!!

This thing is extremely convenient and effective, keeps the stink away, and is simple to use. I use it for adult diapers so I do wish it was a slightly taller size. But one you get the hang of it, it’s quick, easy and very effective! Get one, you won’t be sorry!

Great for diapers, great for doggie poop bags!We probably put like 30-50 diapers in this thing before emptying. We originally were going to get the diaper genie, but I saw YouTube video saying that this is the way to go and they were totally correct. Not only is it in infinity bag so you just tear off the bag or canister is full, tying it off so you have a brand new bag, but it’s also very affordable and it definitely conceals the baby diaper odor. We don’t even notice this thing! We move it around to the office, bedroom, nursery, it’s AMAZING! Once our kiddo is out of diapers, we will be using either in our main bathroom, or for our doggy poop bags after walks with our furry family members - roof! It’s perfect! So SO HAPPY about this purchase! Easy to clean but not really needed, I just am a little anal about cleanliness so I wipe the deposit door down with a baby wipe sometimes to ensure it stays nice and I’m not leaving pee or Pooh reside from blowout diapers on that door flap. lolDEFINITELY BUY!!!!!!!
