More than half of Canadian parents want to dump the diaper ASAP

-The Playtex Infant Diaper Disposal Survey reveals the “scoop on poop” from Canadian parents-


– Smelly, sticky and unpleasant diapers are easy to dispose of at home, but what do you do with a dirty diaper when you’re out? A new survey by Playtex Infant has found that when away from home, more than half of Canadian parents (57%) get rid of dirty diapers in the first garbage can they can find.

The Playtex Infant Diaper Disposal Survey of Canadian parents found that while the majority of moms and dads (71%) don’t find changing diapers so horrible, they still want to dispose of them quickly. Only 16% said they would wrap it up and keep in their baby bag until they got home, and 21% said they would look for an outdoor garbage disposal.




“Parents change thousands of diapers in the first couple years of their baby’s life, and inconveniently, many of those changes take place outside of the home” says Playtex Infant Senior Brand Manager, Helen Kargas. “No one wants to smell a dirty diaper, so to give busy parents a discreet and convenient way of disposing of dirty diapers outside the nursery, Playtex has developed the new Playtex™ Diaper Genie™ Portable Diaper Bag Dispenser for parents on the go.”

The new Diaper Genie™ portable:

As the newest addition to the Diaper Genie® line, the Diaper Genie™ Portable Diaper Bag Dispenser is all about discretion. The dispenser holds up to 25 opaque, lavender scented bags and helps seal diapers in baggies until a suitable disposal is found. The Diaper Genie™ Portable Diaper Bag Dispenser can be kept in the car, thrown in a diaper bag or clipped to a stroller for easy access and retails for $4.99.


“New parents have a lot on their plate, and holding onto a dirty diaper isn’t ideal” says Kargas.
Other highlights of the Playtex Infant Diaper Disposal Survey include:


· Through thick and thin – Only one in six (16%) Canadian parents find changing a baby’s diaper disgusting

· Dog: Man’s best friend –Almost half (44%) of Canadian parents find picking up dog poop to be disgusting

· Hello kitty litter– 39% of Canadian parents are grossed out by having to clean the cat’s litter box
