Best Diaper Pail Reviews 2018

Do not let price stop you from getting a good diaper pail for your home. The truth is that there are features in some diaper pails that make them more expensive than others. For instance, some pails come with complicated odor trapping mechanisms. Others are made from metals and are more expensive than plastic types. After considering these, you would note that price should not be the only determining factor in choosing a diaper pail.

It may be difficult to decide on what price is ideal for a good diaper pail bag. After researching high-end and low-end diaper pails on the market, we have determined the budget for a good diaper pail to fall between $20 and $70. Our research found some cheap diaper pails that may not perform the functions they have been said to perform. We ignored those and went for quality diaper pails that you will be happy to have in your home, and that will serve you properly.

A diaper pail is a product where the choice is dependent on the preferences of the buyer. For one buyer, attractiveness may be a top priority, while the ability to not retain odors may be the priority for the next buyer. We have selected the features to consider for getting a good diaper pail. Here are some of those factors:

• Capacity
• Refill
• Material
• Odor control
• Odor trapping mechanism
• Ease of use
• Foot pedal
• Liners
• Childproofing

Read on for an explanation of the relevance of these features to your diaper pail and why you should consider them while making your purchase decision.

Unless you want to empty your diaper pail daily, consider the capacity of the pail before buying one. Some pails can be emptied once a week, while others can hold up to 30 diapers or more at once. Know how many diapers your child uses within a specified period to be sure the pail you are purchasing can meet your demand. However, if the odor begins to seep through before your expected disposal time, you'll know you have to empty the pail.

The main reason people consider a diaper pail's material is because of odor retention. It has been proven that plastic diaper pails retain odor over time, but with proper management and frequent deodorizing, the “Doomsday” can be extended. A metal diaper pail, on the other hand, hardly retains the odor from the diapers over time, unless it's not well managed. The plastic type is lightweight and more portable, and less expensive too. The metal types are more durable, heavier and more expensive. Consider which one suits your disposal needs better.

The presence of a foot pedal cannot be overemphasized, as it makes the pail easier to use. If you have a baby in one arm and need to throw out a diaper, you won’t need to bend over to do that. You can just push the foot pedal, the pail opens, and you toss the diaper. However, most diaper pails with foot pedals do not have childproof or locking lids, which are very helpful.

The liner is one of the most important features of a diaper pail. When purchasing one, know what type of liners it uses. Some pails use custom liners, while others can use everyday trash liners. There are also cloth liners for cloth diapers. Scented liners are more expensive than others. You may also need to consider how easy it is to change these liners. Note that this may affect the overall cost of your diaper pail, since you will be considering the cost of buying liners over time.

The only reason people choose to use a diaper pail instead of the regular trash can is its ability to control odor. In choosing the right diaper pail for you, check how long it can hold in odor. Some pails hold odor for up to four days, while others do not. Based on your frequency of disposal, you should choose a diaper pail that can control the odor for a sufficient number of days.

Every diaper pail has an odor trapping mechanism. Some of the mechanisms include odor eliminating baking soda, seals, carbon filters, and discs. Find out what mechanism a pail has, or else, you may be buying a diaper pail with no provision for odor control.

It should be easy for you to open, toss, close, empty, and refill a diaper pail. Anything more complicated than this makes the task cumbersome, instead of making things easier for you.

If you have mobile children with inquisitive hands and minds, you know that they always want to check out any new item and probably turn them into toys. You do not want to come in and see your little one playing with soiled diapers. Be sure that your diaper pail has a locking lid and is childproof.
