Quick answer

To use the Diaper Genie Portable Dispenser, load a refill bag into the dispenser, pull out a fresh bag for each change, and twist the top to seal odors.

Why choose the portable dispenser for travel

The Diaper Genie Portable Dispenser is compact enough to fit in your diaper bag, making it ideal for outings. It uses lavender-scented disposable bags to help contain odors, so you can change diapers anywhere without lingering smells.

What to expect from the refill bags

Each portable dispenser comes with one refill that includes 25 bags. The bags are pre-loaded in a continuous roll, so you don't need to handle individual bags. The lavender scent helps mask odors, but it's not a substitute for proper disposal later.

Step-by-step setup and use

  1. Open the dispenser: Twist the top of the Diaper Genie Portable Dispenser counterclockwise until it pops off. Set the top aside. Make sure the dispenser is empty before loading a new refill to avoid jams.
  2. Insert the refill roll: Place the continuous bag roll inside the dispenser body, with the end of the bag sticking out from the center opening. Ensure the roll sits flat. If the roll is crooked, the bag may not feed smoothly. Adjust it before closing.
  3. Pull the first bag through: Gently pull the end of the bag through the center opening until about 4-6 inches of bag protrude from the top. This gives you enough material to tie off later. Pulling too hard can tear the bag. Pull slowly and evenly.
  4. Close the dispenser: Align the top piece with the body and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The dispenser is now ready to use. A loose top may let odors escape. Ensure the click is audible.
  5. Use a bag for each diaper change: When you need a fresh bag, simply pull the next bag from the top of the dispenser. After placing the used diaper inside, twist the top of the bag to seal it, then pull again to expose a new bag. Each bag has a tie-off point; don't pull more than one bag at a time.
  6. Dispose of the sealed bag: Once the bag is full or you're ready to discard, tie the twisted top into a knot and place it in a trash bin. The lavender scent helps neutralize odors during travel. Do not flush the bags. They are designed for landfill disposal only.
