I was given the opportunity to test out the Diaper Genie Platinum Pail as a member of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We had a different, more compact pail before I got this one. It worked fine and I didn’t have any complaints before I tested the Platinum Pail. First of all, this fully seals when closing so you do NOT smell anything. Critically important. Second, there is no need to push any dirty diapers or wipes into the pail, there’s a fully hands free disposal process. Can I say how amazing that is? Third, the bags are perforated and easy to tear when full. No weird double loop. The only thing that I thought was difficult was installing the refills but I think that was more user error than anything.
