Crap Happens. Hide it With These Diaper Pails

Diapers aren't fun, but they're necessary. Finding a great diaper pail makes the whole thing seem a bit less laborious. A good diaper pail will hide the smell, look OK in the room (it's a garbage pail, not a work of art), and be easy to empty. Some of the diaper pails, namely the uber-popular Diaper Genie on the market require special bags, but not all of them. Those bags can be pricey, but people who use that diaper pail are brand loyal and swear by the product.

Ideally, like with any baby-related gadget, it should be able to be operated with one hand, because the other one is full of baby, diaper, or maybe your breast pump. Single-handedness in the nursery is a big deal. The majority of diaper pails on this list can be operated with one hand, and several of them aren't just good for full diapers and wipes, but also any old smelly garbage that needs hidden, so you can get years of use. (Ours is currently a kitty litter can.)
