Original Diaper Genie Instructions

A newborn baby is changed 10 to 12 times per day, often creating an unpleasant odor. The problem is easily solved by using the Playtex Diaper Genie, a diaper disposal system that masks the smell of dirty diapers. The first Diaper Genie was called Diaper Genie Twistaway. Since then, new models have been released and the Twistaway is no longer sold. However, refill cartridges are still sold to accommodate the parents who own the original model.
