BabyGearLab Announces Winners for the Best Diaper Pail of 2015

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - June 19, 2015 - PRLog -- To determine the best diaper pail on the market, and the one with the best odor containment, BabyGearLab performed unprecedented side-by-side stink tests with pails full of poop to get the inside information on which products work well and which simply stink. Products were rated on their odor containment abilities, ease of diaper disposal, and ease of bag changes. Testers looked for overall smell, smell released upon deposit of new diapers, and whether or not bag changes were difficult or included regular bag mishaps and spilled contents. The complete review includes all the stink-tastic details and award winners.

The awards go to:

The Editors’ Choice award was given to the Playtex Diaper Genie Essentials for its top overall score and unparalleled ability to keep odors inside the pail. The Essentials offers a unique interior clamping mechanism that prevents excessive odors from escaping as parents put a new diaper in the pail. Dr. Juliet Spurrier, founder of BabyGearLab.com, says “The Essentials really does contain odors in a way no other product offered. Not only is it almost odor free when not in use, but it is the best at controlling odors when the lid is open. We even preferred it to the more expensive Playtex product, the Elite” Dr. Spurrier went on to say, “The easy diaper disposal and bag changes also impressed our review team.”

The award for Best Value was given to the Baby Trend Diaper Champ Deluxe. The Diaper Champ is an economical choice with a great estimated lifetime cost and above average odor control. Dr. Spurrier, of BabyGearLab, said, “The Diaper Champ works well and offers the convenience of using kitchen trash bags. While it might not have controlled odors as well as our Editors’ Choice pail did, it did a good job for the price. This budget friendly pail is less out of pocket in the beginning and over time than the competition, making it a great choice for families on a budget.”

BabyGearLab tested the pails in a lab setting for odor control and in everyday use with real babies and toddlers. Products were used side-by-side for comparison purposes for the odor tests to ensure accurate unbiased results. The results of testing scores and user input drove the individual metric ratings and the overall rank of the pails. Winners were chosen both on points, input, and value.

A companion article on buying advice for diaper pails has also been published on BabyGearLab.com to help parents navigate the various options and differences between products to determine which features are most important to their families.
