Mom Central recently sent us the Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail to review. We used this pail for 1 week, and we also used the Diaper Genie II Elite for one week. (Check out my review of the Diaper Genie II Elite.) ***For FREEBIES & coupons, “like” Coupons and Freebies Mom on Facebook AND sign up for our free daily email!
The Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail was a huge disappointment for me. I had a hard time opening and closing the lid, and worse yet, I had a hard time getting diapers to even go in the pail. As the lid closes, the diapers come back up through the opening unless you jam them down in the pail. This increases the chance of getting poo poo on your hands when putting the diaper in the pail (been there, done that, right parents?)! Also, if you put your hand in too far, it can get caught in the opening – ouch! I did not like the height of this diaper pail. It’s way too short.
There is baking soda in the lid to help with odor control. This is a nice idea, but it seemed to dispense on my hand several times, instead of into the bag. The refills are also too expensive for my liking. The odor control was fairly good, which was about the only thing I liked about this diaper pail! Hands down, I would choose the Diaper Genie II Elite over this diaper pail any day!
I am a member of the Mom Central community and I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central, sponsored by Diaper Genie, and received a free Diaper Genie diaper pail and a free Munchkin Arm & Hammer diaper pail to facilitate my review.

Thank you so much for your honest review. I really appreciate that you write your reviews with such honesty. As a mom, I am so tired of reading blog reviews where it is obvious the reviewer is scared to say what they really think about products because it was provided to them for free. Thank you so much! You have one loyal reader here!

Hey, I have been looking all over the place for a diaper pail, I have read review after review. And I came across your website that said if I leave a comment that I will receive a free diaper pail. I feel the Arm & Hammer diaper pail would work for us for our soon to arrive baby girl!! I think that having the baking soda inside the pail will help with the odor. thank you very much ..

We do not have a diaper pail to send. You may want to contact Arm & Hammer directly to see what promotions they currently offer. Good luck!
