The Diaper Genie: a Helpful Genie in the Nursery
The Diaper Genie by Playtex Baby Products is one of the most popular diaper disposal systems, according to users of the system who have written the reviews of diaper pails that can be found online. The Diaper Genie 11 Advanced Disposal System features the double lock AirTite system which has five layers of plastic barrier film to keep the odors inside the unit where they belong. Ultra-Fresh Antimicrobial Protection is a feature of the plastic used for the film in the liners. According to many reviewers, this makes the Diaper Genie the most effective of all the available diaper disposal systems at controlling odors.
Another feature that is appreciated by parents is the one handed operation.
This is a real safety issue as far as parents are concerned, as no one
wants to have to leave a baby on the change table while you dispose of
the used diaper. So whether you are holding the baby or want to leave
baby on the change table, the Diaper Genie 11 allows you to do this and
dispose of the smelly diaper at the same time. The foot pedal opens the
top of the Genie; you lean over just a little, because of the extra height
of the unit compared to other diaper pails, and push the soiled or wet
diaper into the plastic film liner.
The advanced diaper disposal system of the Diaper Genie securely locks
away odors, bacteria and the mess. The diaper doesn't touch the unit,
only the liner, as you push it into the canister, so there is no external
mess to clean up. All it needs is an occasional wipe over the surface
to keep it looking good. The Diaper Genie will hold up to 30 wet and soiled
diapers, so there is no need to be emptying the pail every day. You can
buy the Diaper Genie 11 Refill Cassettes where you bought your Genie,
to replace the liners when you do empty the unit. The cassette consists
of the 5 -layered tubular plastic film, in one long piece, which you cut
and tie off when the Diaper Genie is full. A new liner bag is started
by tying a knot in the film.
The best way to prepare a used diaper, ready to put into the Diaper Genie, as with most of the diaper disposal systems that are on the market, is the wrap the diaper into a square or a ball-shape, with the soiled part firmly enclosed. This further helps with odor control and makes it easier for the diaper to fit into the diaper pail without any trouble.
Emptying the Diaper Genie Advanced Disposal System is also a simple operation. There is a cutter built into the unit which cuts the liner above the pile of diapers, when you separate the top from the bottom section of the outer canister. You simply tie the bag off and throw it away; then start a new bag by tying a knot in the film and you are ready to dispose of more diapers. The cutter is safely hidden and childproof.
