Keep Diaper Pail Non-Stinky with Doggie Bags

I don't bother with the Diaper Genie.  I really think it's a ripoff, marketed to first-time parents who believe they need EVERYTHING EVER MADE FOR BABIES EVER.  I use a small step-can lined with a plastic grocery bag.  It fills up in about two days, which isn't long enough for the odors to seep out.

However, now that I have two kids in diapers, I've found that the multitude of stinky ones can overwhelm my attempts to maintain a freshly-scented room.  So I use doggy poop bags to tie them up before tossing them in.  I bought these off Amazon because they're made with recycled plastic (green-ER, right?), they come in a handy dispenser box, and they have a light lavender scent. Perfect size for a diaper.  Just tie it off, and toss it in.

I bought these May 19th.  I'm wondering exactly how long it will take for my kids to have 300 poopy diapers.  

Now, if you want to get crafty with it (and who doesn't??) wrap the box with nice paper or fabric (I used fabric) like a present, with a cutout on top to allow the bags to dispense.  This way, you don't have a box on your counter that loudly proclaims "POOP BAGS".




How nice is THAT?
