Compare the Diaper Genie Unscented and Max Fresh refills on capacity, odor control, and scent preference to find your best fit.
Quick answer
Choose the Max Fresh refill for maximum capacity and odor control, or the Unscented refill if you prefer no added fragrance and a smaller, more frequent change cycle.
Capacity and frequency of changes
The Max Fresh refill holds up to 720 newborn-sized diapers, which means fewer refill changes and less interruption during busy days. The Unscented refill holds up to 270 newborn-sized diapers, so you will swap refills more often. That trade-off matters if you prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach versus a lighter, more manageable refill that you replace frequently.
Scent and odor control
Max Fresh uses a fresh scent designed to help mask diaper odors, while the Unscented refill avoids any added fragrance entirely. If your baby has sensitive skin or you simply dislike artificial scents, the Unscented option keeps the nursery neutral. The Max Fresh scent may be preferable if you want an extra layer of odor masking beyond the continuous film technology both refills share.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Max Fresh: High capacity, scented: Holds up to 720 diapers per refill. Fresh scent helps mask odors. Best if you want fewer refill changes and don't mind added fragrance.
- Unscented: Lower capacity, fragrance-free: Holds up to 270 diapers per refill. No added fragrance. Best if you prefer a neutral smell or have scent sensitivities.
- Shared technology: Both use continuous film to seal in odors. The choice comes down to capacity and scent preference. Consider your diaper volume and sensitivity to fragrance before choosing.
