Diaper Disposal

It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.  As a parent, poopy diapers are a fact of life.  It's better to be prepared when facing your first diaper change.  While the first few diapers won't be too scary, things are going to go downhill fast.  Soon your little angel is going to produce some stinky stuff. A normal garbage can  isn't going to cut it.  You'll need an item with a lid to help keep the funky smells under control--a proper diaper pail. 

Top Picks

• About.com lists the following as the top 5 diaper pails:
• Diaper Genie -- Controls odor like no other.
• Odor-less Diaper Pail -- Strong safety features.
• Diaper Dekor -- Rate well for it's large size.
• Diaper Champ -- For cloth or disposable diapers.
• Diaper Pail-- For cloth diapers.

Once you've made your selection you'll need diaper pail liners.   It's also a good ideal to disinfect  the pail with some regularity.

What to Look for in a Diaper Pail
	What to look for: Easy to clean. Odor control. Simple to open (foot pedals are a nice touch) and operate. Expect to spend $25-$40 on this purchase.  Refills on the bags will rack up additional costs on a monthly basis.
