Was it common for older bedwetting kids to use Diaper Genies for their diapers? Did any of your parents have you use them?
John Hall of Mondial Industries invented the diaper genie in 1998. It did not see widespread use until the early 2000's.cm90210 said:It's possible that diaper genies were not invented however, in the early to mid 90s when this was happening in my house. No idea honestly.
Well it wasn't invented until 1998, they could have used something similar maybe. I am not sure what other products may have been available, but it could have just been a modified trash can more or less.AAO said:My parents had one for my youngest brother and he was born in '93 so they had to be around by that time.

I was going off of patents, you can look up the patents for it online, it is possible the patents were pending when the product was released of course. But that advertisement is actually from no earlier than 1997 not 1994 even though it mentions a 1994 copyright date, Mondial Industries did not move to Macedonia, Ohio until 1997. If it were from 1996 or before it would have said Streetsboro, Ohio instead of Macedonia. They are presently located in Ravenna, Ohio just as an aside.AAO said:I can 100% guarantee you it was a diaper genie style and not a modified trash can. I'm not sure where you are coming up with 1998 but I'm sure they were around before that.
