Introducing Diapers Naturally – a Cloth Diaper Service Located in Chester County!

Diapers Naturally is owned by Jen Manthey, a Chester County, cloth diapering mother of two. After her son was born she started Diapers Naturally because there were no local retail stores carrying cloth diapers. The only choice was to buy diapers online without being able to look at them first.

Diapers Naturally has an online store and a local retail location, right here in Chester County. Diapers Naturally consultants are also available for free personal cloth diaper consultations and in home parties. During these consultations you will learn about the various types of cloth diapering systems, pros and cons of the different systems, washing technique, accessories, cost, etc. You can also set up a personal registry with Diapers Naturally online. After you’ve created your registry friends and family can order by phone, internet or in person.

It can be confusing and overwhelming researching cloth diapers. In the retail store and during a consultation or party you can see the products, feel the fabrics and try out the systems. If you have any questions about cloth diapers at any time during your cloth diapering experience please feel free to call, stop by or email one of the experts at Diapers Naturally. They are there to serve you!

REVIEW: Diaper Genie II Elite v. Munchkin Arm & Hammer Pail

As I mentioned in my previous post, Mom Central provided me the opportunity to test drive two different diaper pails. The first was the Diaper Genie II Elite and the second was the Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail. I was to alternate the pails each week and comment on the use and functionality of each. Here is my wrap-up post!

Diaper Genie II Elite Recap

PROS

1. This sleek diaper pail has a very nice look to it. It’s tall and slender physique almost makes it look less diaper pail-esque. It’s still a diaper pail, but it just looks a bit more ‘clean’ while standing in the corner of the room.
2. My toddler still has yet to figure out how to open the diaper pail, a nice change from trash cans that he conquered months ago and shown me the evidence all over the first floor of the house.
3. Foot pedal operated to open. How nice is this feature? The hands-free opening of the pail is really godsend some days. I think this is my favorite feature!
4. This is one tall can. I’m not a tall lady, but even I get a bit tired of bending down to put a diaper in a pail. I can only imagine taller people really enjoying this feature, but I’d rank this as my number 2 favorite feature of this pail!
5. Odor Control. The first week I reviewed this product I swear I couldn’t smell a thing. I still think the diaper pail is good at odor control, but it’s not as spotless as it was that first week. If there is a doosey of a diaper in there, when you open the pail you know it. However, I couldn’t really smell the offensive materials inside while the pail was closed.

CONS

1. You do have to find the cartridge replacement bags for this pail. I prefer using something that is more readily available, like a trashbag I already have in house.
2. I do find the lid gets stuck every now and again. This might be a bit of user-error when I reset the lid on the can, but it is something I encountered a handful of times.

Overall, the functionality of this pail is great. It’s easy to use and hands-free operated, contains the smell and looks rather sleek. I’d give this as a shower gift without hesitation!

Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail Recap

PROS

1. This diaper pail looks pretty much like your typical diaper pail. It’s a bit short and stocky, but not obtrusive in the room.
2. Loved that it came fully assembled. That’s one less thing I had to worry about getting set up!
3. Bag inserts are easy to replace. They even fold to close in the stinky diapers contained within. I hadn’t realized that the first time I used the pail, and I took out the bag without snapping it shut and couldn’t figure out why they would design the product that way. Turns out, I didn’t realize that they snapped in all those odors and I was pleasantly surprised at how much it really did contain the odor!
4. Arm & Hammer. Great for baking, refrigerators and diaper pails! Love that there is a replaceable container built into the lid and I can fill it with my own box of Arm & Hammer (or generic version) when needed. I also love that a little bit of the white magic goes into the can each time it closes, just a little added odor containment with each diaper change!

CONS

1. It’s short and I have to open the pail with two hands. I know, sounds trivial, but after trying the hands-free and taller pail, it does seem like a shortcoming I didn’t realize I needed!
2. The pail door to remove the diapers is rather flimsy. It took my toddler no time at all to realize how to open that door. I’m actually amazed that he didn’t break the door, so I supposed that is a positive to that item.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I think the Diaper Genie II Elite fits my needs more than the Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail. I might try adding my own Arm & Hammer to the Diaper Genie’s bags as I really did love that feature.

Diaper Genie II Elite…The Good, The bad and The Smelly!

The Good, The Bad and The Smelly!

With two children under 2 years old, we go through our fair share of diapers. When my first son, Cbear, was born I would individually wrap each diaper in one of those scented disposable bags (go ahead, laugh… but you know you did some out there things too with your first!). Not that newborn diapers smell all that much, but I was crazy about odor control and diaper disposal. As he grew, and the diaper size became larger and it’s contents stinkier, I ditched the bags and started putting them in the regular trash can which also had scented bags. I just never found a diaper pail that fit our needs so I just dealt with things as they came.

Flash forward 19 months and Bbear is now with us. I now have two kids in diapers and goodness knows I didn’t want to stink up the kitchen with all those treasures! It was great timing to be asked by Mom Central to ‘test drive’ two diaper pails, the Diaper Genie II Elite and the Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper pail. I’ve been using the Diaper Genie for a full week now and boy have things changed! We love it!

The diaper pails

Upon arrival, the Diaper Genie does need to be put together. Nothing too difficult, just snapping the top and bottom pieces together. I did have a little difficulty lining it up, but nothing too prohibitive.

Contestant #1

Functionality
The Diaper Genie II Elite has a canister that is inserted in the top of the pail. The user ties the open end of the bag and pull it through to the bottom of the Diaper Genie. Close the lid and you are set to use! Place the diaper in the top of the pail, and let the Genie pull it through to the bag below.

Ease of Use
My most favorite feature of the Diaper Genie II Elite is the fact that the pail itself is hands free. So, while holding 4 month old little Bbear in one arm, the diaper in the other AND trying to block Cbear from whatever he is trying to get to, I am able to step on the foot pedal and open the pail to dispose of their ‘business’. When the bag is full, simply open the canister, use the child-proof cutting too inside, tie off and you are set! I will say, sometimes when I empty the bag I have a little problem resetting the lid, but I get it in a moment.

Contestant #2
Odor Control
I’ve heard horror stories of pails that just do not keep the odor in. It’s one of the reasons why I had originally skipped purchasing one myself nearly two years ago. I have been very surprised with how well the Diaper Genie II Elite has contained the contents within. Most of our diaper changes are on the main floor of the house, so for now we have the pail in the living room (oh, you know you’ve done this too!). I have yet to smell the pail while sitting in the living room.

Overall Experience
I’m very impressed with the Diaper Genie II Elite thus far. I would give this pail 5 out of 5 stars.
