This item is inexpensive and I thought it would be a good buy since you didn't need to buy extra bags and could just use the same bags for both this and your garbage..but I was wrong this diaper pail lets all the smell out! My son's whole room smells like Pee and Poo as soon as you place more than one diaper in there. You end up buy twice as many garbage bags just so you can quickly replace the one filled with only a few diapers. Totally a waste of money since I am now on the hunt for a better smell resistant diaper pail. Don't learn the hard way as I did just buy a good one the first time around..hope this helps all you mothers and fathers out there :-)
