I still remember how bad that diaper pail smelled!
Absolutely, I 100% agree, plus for the older generation, cloth diapers are what we all remember, whether it be through using them on our own children, helping change baby siblings, or from our younger years when we used to babysit.
Diaper pail odour? Yes! Pee-ew! I remember it well! Like a pressure-cooker with ammonia inside, lifting the lid often resulted in the burning of the lining of ones nose.
