We’ve had the Diaper Dekor Plus diaper pail since the twins were born. We even got a second one when Logan was born. (And we moved, so there are now two bathrooms – a Dekor in each works pretty well since you never know where you’ll be changing diapers.)
Anyway … about 9 months ago or so, the company decided to go “green” and use biodegradable bags in the pail. My first thought was, “hey – that’s pretty cool.” But there are so many things wrong with this. The biggest being that they do not contain the smell as well as the old bags. Lovely. The next problem is the packaging…there are now 2 refills in each box rather than 3 – the price did go down a little, but not THAT much. Wonderful. The other thing very wrong with this is if you start to think about it…it DOESN’T make sense! I’m all for going green when you can…and doing little things here and there makes a big difference. But…the bags are supposed to hold DIAPERS. Probably the biggest non-green things out there. So now what’s going to happen? The bags are going to biodegrade and spill out these stanky things everywhere? No thank you!
What were they THINKING??

Hmmmmm, I don’t think they were thinking. Seems like they were just going with the flow b/c “everyone is doing it.”
Totally makes you want to get those kids Potty Trained so much sooner. I’m telling you….it was the biggest pain in the arse to do but I’m sooooo happy it’s done and over with.
thats pretty funny;) I got a diaper pail at my baby shower, but I think we used it for 3 days and found it to be so much work with 2 babies constantly filling it up that we just gave up using it.
Oh they were thinking green OK…..the green money filling their wallets!
This is why I use cloth diapers…so the poop goes in the toilet where it belongs! It totally grosses me out to think of a big pail of paper-wrapped poop sitting around in my house.
But I have a cat…so I have a litter pan full of clay-covered poop sitting around in my house. Not much difference is there?
Hmmm that is weird isn’t it! I gave up on our diaper pail and I use grocery bags, talk about un-green here!
Yea. I’m not sure how many of the “green” products sprouting on the store shelves are actually green. I’m quite suspicious.
