Doesn't this apply to all stalls, regardless of size?


Respectfully, we ALL stink up the joint from time to time regardless of what kind of stall we're sitting in. It's a human function. Expecting someone to be able to control the smell of ...well.... you know, whether it be an adult or kid, that's a bit much of an ask. As long as the diapers go into the trash, what else can one do? Seems like this is kind of getting out of hand.
Yes, but it is especially important. Lots of times folks don't care about flushing when using public toilets, it is always annoying. Don't they flush at home? Most of the time, if I came across an unflushed toilet I could go to another stall. This time, I had no choice but to flush someone else's mess.

Why not? It isn't complicated.
I can't believe all adults don't know this, but diaper disposal bags. They look just like the ones dog owners use.

Aren't most public toilets automatic now?

Started as a bit about the large, not handicap-exclusive stalls, took a bunch of twists and turns and now upset about people not using bags to throw away diapers.

I've had a bunch of kids, and I've also had a bunch of dogs. And I am here to tell you that no plastic bag contains those smells. They keep the mess contained, but that's about it. Even the scented ones only last for so long.

Again it's an every living creature natural function. Is it pretty or pleasant? Nope. But it's a fact of life. The only place we can control every aspect of our being is in our own home.

I would guess that they're suggesting that the parent empties the diaper into the toilet (as much as they can anyway) and then put what's left in the bin? That way there's less stinky stuff left remaining in the diaper to smell when it's placed in the bin? We can't have kids and I've never looked after a baby so I've never had the pleasure of changing a diaper. If I were ever to try however, this is the approach I would take.

It's not the fact that a number two smells they're complaining about, it's what isn't being done to minimise that smell that they seem to be hinting at..

It is not the approach anyone takes because it makes no sense. Poo is rarely something that is neatly going to go into a toilet. It makes even less sense at Walt Disney World where the changing tables are near the door. So you’d have to carry a diaper pat the sinks, maybe wait for a stall and then take up a stall that someone else might need to use. All while the child is somewhere.

Not a sentence I was expecting to see on here :D

When you say "All while the child is somewhere", what does that mean? Surely the child has to be somewhere when you bin the diaper regardless of whether you've emptied it first or not? You leave the child or carry it with you with the diaper when you bin it?

A well designed restroom is going to have a trash can in close proximity to the changing table. At Walt Disney World there is usually one right next to the table so you can just reach over while staying with the child.

It is curious that the baby changing station is often in the same stall, and often folks leave it down.

I also happened upon one bathroom that had a VERY stinky diaper. The smell was overwhelming.

I think maybe if those folks were changing that diaper in their own home, they would have made an effort to contain the odor somehow, like maybe flushing the solids then wrapping the whole thing in a plastic diaper bag.
Except the person who mentioned it happening and started this debate clearly states it was in the stall they were using (their post above and highlighted) and not a separate table which is the post I was referring to. This kind of makes your post irrelevant to the point they were making.

Edit: I was telling lazyboy that and not you MickeyLuv'r.

No, that isn't correct.
At WDW the diaper change station is often in the handicapped stall where there is both a sink and a trash can in the same space.
I would hope most folks would at least make an effort to not leave a nasty diaper wide open on the top of the trash can.

But anyhow.

the details of this particular experience are not as important, because I've come across many bathroom stall messes in my visits to WDW. It just always amazes me how inconsiderate some folks can be. I always feel sorry for the cleaning staff.

yes.
(Technically it was one of the companion restrooms. )

Er? what?

Maybe go back and read post #1?
I was saying to the poster saying that the table wasn't in the stall that in your example it was. That's why I highlighted your post where you say it was. I was pointing out that they were arguing a point you hadn't made and was defending you. I was saying their post was irrelevant and not yours.

That's what I was saying when I quoted you by telling them the same thing.

Yeah, no. I'm not putting a diaper in a plastic bag to throw it in another plastic bag. I'm a mom of 2 who managed just fine without having to encase a diaper to make sure some sensitive susie didn't have to smell a poopy diaper. :rolleyes:

That's a sure fire way to end up with fecal matter on the toilet seat. If a parent folds up the diaper and puts it in the bathroom trash can, I consider their job over.

I've never tried emptying a diaper personally, but I imagine that lifting the seat first like us men do would solve the problem?
Your odds of getting parents to do that is practically zero. Especially while wrangling a toddler you are done changing. And I would prefer parents who just changed a diaper (and not yet washed) not touch the toilet seat.

Never mind that not all diaper contents are solid and can just be dumped (especially if they are breastfed).

This has gotten insane…

Hint: baby poop is uhhh… loose
I agree this thread went off the rails a bit.
I think it is a bit funny though, because there is much speculation here...when really I'm confident if anyone posting to this forum had entered that bathroom, they too would have found the stench overpowering.


The larger point was that...a good number of theme park goers forget common courtesy when they enter a public bathroom. They leave the bathroom a mess. That creates consequences for others.

The whole point of this thread was just to encourage everyone to take a moment to think of other folks who also need to use the restroom.

I'm not surprised some folks got defensive.
