Diaper Genie: A Game Changer for Ostomy Bag Disposal

This topic is about finding a practical solution for disposing of used ostomy pouches without dealing with unpleasant odors or mess. One person shared their experience of using a Diaper Genie, a product originally designed for disposing of baby diapers, to manage this issue at home. Here’s what they and others have found:

- The Diaper Genie, available at places like Walmart, is an affordable option for containing odors from used ostomy pouches. It can store many pouches and keeps the smell under control, making it a successful solution for home use.

- Other people agree that using a Diaper Genie is a promising way to manage odor when disposing of ostomy pouches.

- As an alternative, some suggest placing the used pouch inside a resealable sandwich bag, like a Ziploc. Wrapping the pouch in toilet paper before sealing it in the bag can help contain both mess and odor effectively. This method is not only inexpensive but also portable, which means you don’t need to have a large Diaper Genie on hand.
