Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail
No special bags
Powder-coated steel doesn't absorb smell the way plastic does, and it takes ordinary kitchen bags — no refill subscription for the next three years. The sliding lid barely moves any air.

A self-sealing film that closes over the diaper whether the lid is open or shut, plus an Arm & Hammer baking-soda puck in the lid. The one that holds up in a small room.
