You'd think that if you shelled out $300 for a diaper pail from Denmark, it would be easy to use, right? No, says reader Jennifer R.:
So I gave in and bought the VIPP diaper pail from Giggle.
I thought that despite the obscene price that this would be a worthwhile investment that would fight smell, not take up too much space, and look attractive in my Manhattan apartment. I saw that it is made in Denmark, used in doctor's offices and was in unique in being the right dimensions and has a steel liner. Basically no plastic to absorb smell. And despite the many debates about Dekor/Genie, it seemed that neither one is quite ideal.
Well this story does not end well. For $300 I also wanted ease of use (special bags are needed)—but even their special VIPP bag is rather difficult to get in and out. Sadly, I took my 39 week pregnant self to return the trashcan and the woman at Giggle confirmed that although it is great at keeping the smell at bay, that it is difficult to change the bag.
I really was shocked to find that this 80 year old Danish company did not have this down to more of a science. While this is not an official "diaper pail" I think this is aggravating even if using this for regular trash.

i don’t care if it changed the diapers for me, there is NO way I would pay that much for a diaper pail!!!! I bought a $15 one, put some pet fresh carpet deodorizer in the bottom of the pail and the bottom of the bag and VOILA. A somewhat fresh smelling diaper pail. Plus it takes regular garbage bags. I just change them every few days!

Free grocery bags in my kitchen trashcan (purchased 15 years ago for $10)…I guess it’s easy for me to say, since I don’t live in an apartment in Manhattan, but I’d rather just take the stinky trash out ASAP.
