The Best Refills for your Diaper Genie
Diapers are gross. Yes, we said it. Disposable diapers smell funky and leave an odor in your home when placed in the trash. That's why most families get a Diaper Genie. It holds your baby's dirty diapers in a bag within a sealed pail to prevent the bacteria and odor from stinking up your home. Of course, you'll have to get refills for those bags. We know how busy parents get, so we have made it simpler to choose which refills are right for your family. Just check out this list of the best refills for your Diaper Genie.
