A diaper pail is a specialized container designed to store used diapers until they can be disposed of. These pails are typically made of plastic and feature a tight-sealing lid to contain odors. Many models use a bag or liner that can be replaced when full, making it easier to manage waste. Most diaper pails are designed for convenience, allowing parents to quickly toss in dirty diapers without needing to open the lid fully. Some advanced versions even have odor-control features, such as carbon filters or antimicrobial materials, to help keep the nursery smelling fresh.
