I bought this diaper pail because the store had run out of the Fisher Price pail I had originally intended to buy. Boy was I sorry!! Aside from the fact that the diaper pail fell apart into many little pieces every time I went to change the bag, It did not contain the quite pungent odor that accompanies dirty diapers.While this diaper pail was cheaper than the Diaper Genie, I found it to be a complete waste of my hard earned money, as it doesn't even serve well as a basic trash can.
