The Truth On Diaper Disposal

Pure honesty. Let's just go there for a moment. How many of you abandoned your lovely thing-a-ma-bobbers which now only serve to take up space in a closet...


...for something a little more practical...

Another dose of truth: This has been the diaper disposal protocol since a month into the life of our firstborn. With every new child, I swear I'll be better with the diaper genie. I'm thrice a failure. But it is sooooo much easier to dunk then lift, push, twist, twist, and close.

Ok...one more for discussion: How many of you get your diaper genie thingys back out of the closet when you have company coming over with babes in diapers? Yeah. I gave that up come baby number two.

Back in the day, as they say, the diaper genie didn't exist and disposable diapers were new and most people only used them for travel and when away. Soooooo...we used the good old fashioned cloth diapers. Rinse them in the toilet and throw them in a diaper pail of water and borax to keep the smell down. It didn't help much. You just had to hold your nose and put the lid on quick. Oh, and don't forget all the cloth diapers that had to be laundered and folded. I was smart though. I bought the pre-folded kind. Less folding to do. See what you missed!

Having always believed that the diaper genie is the most useless piece of baby apparel out there, I don't own one. Getting along fine! I'm with ya, girl!
