(It uses regular bags)<BR/><BR/>By the time the 2nd come came around, we were just using the regular garbage.<BR/><BR/>I would say by yourself a really good kitchen garbage and just take it out more often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31514134.post-1155784061963792542006-08-16T21:07:00.000-06:002006-08-16T21:07:00.000-06:00So that's one vote for yes, and one vote for no?I ...So that's one vote for yes, and one vote for no?<BR/>I love the idea of the smell being contained, but don't love the idea of spending $40 a month on refills.

Yes it can get a little pricey, but the smell is contained until of course you have to empty it and then....well lets just say "plug your nose". I do agree with the cloth diapers...and if you want some I have some of those for you...I am really sorry world! but I bow to the convenience of disposable. Good luck!

We used it for a few months until we realized we were spending $35-$40 a month to keep it running.<BR/>Then we started stuffing regular garbage bags in it instead of the refill sausage wraps. That lasted a couple weeks. Our DG ended up being a plain 'ol diaper pail with a brand name.<BR/><BR/>Now? We toss the naps directly into the garbage while trying to suppress our guilt about the tremendous amount of untreated waste we are sending to the landfill.<BR/>Cloth naps the way to go. Just need to get into the habit of it and save $$$$, the enviornment and no chlorine dioxins for baby's bum. Do we use cloth? Well, disposables are just too darn easy, but we really want to make the switch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
