Diaper Genie Discomfort

I love and hate my Diaper Genie.
It contains stink, but its killing my knuckles.
I know it’s hard to understand, but for the past couple of days when I've changed my son's diaper I've come out with less skin on my hands then when I first started the diaper changing experience.
Its a little skin at a time, but the diaper genie got me good two days ago.
I now have a reddening scab on my left pinkie because of it.

You're probably thinking, "Well watch where you're putting your hand."
Well, it's not that easy. I wish it was.
At 2/3/4 in the morning, its hard to tell what you're doing at all, especially when you have a one-month old crying his lungs out.
The invention looks like its going to swallow your hand whole anyways. Once you open the lid and put the diaper in the trash bag, you feel like you going to walk away without your index finger.

So thank you Diaper Genie — and dang you.
You have special powers of eliminating odor, yet you have nicked up my knuckles. My wife's banged her hands up changing diapers too.
Maybe you should invent a Diaper Genie that has smoother, less knife-like edges around the diaper deposit-thingy.
A guy can dream, can't he?

One more thing, why can't you use regular trash bags to contain all the poop. Depending which series Diaper Genie you buy, you have to buy specialized diaper genie trash bags.
