I bought this diaper pail because of the good online rating and the fact that I didn't have to worry about special refills--just standard garbage bags. Well, I was happy with it--until my son turned 5 months old and started eating solids. Whew! Very stinky! This diaper pail does not contain odors! I've even tried scented garbage bags and stickups. We're buying a Diaper Genie.
