How to dispose of diapers visiting friends

My diapers last 5 hours. I bring extras when I visit friends. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to dispose of urine-filled diapers at a friend's house?

I have taken either Walmart bags or small garbage bags with me I normally put two or three diapers in the bag and I will take them and either put them in my car and then when I'm out and about throw them away at a gas station or I will keep them hidden until I have two bags full I offered to take out their trash and I'll put my bags in their trash. or just be upfront with them and tell him you have garbage you need to throw away

I would roll them up and deposit them in the outside trash container to prevent any odors in their residence.

I carry a backpack everywhere I go. In it I carry extra diapers, wipes, cream etc. I buy bulk black grocery style bags at Sam’s Club. I use these to dispose of a used diaper in a public restroom so I am not walking around outside of the stall with a diaper in my hand. At friends and family homes I put a wet diaper in the bag and tie it in a knot in o seal it up. I put the diaper in a bag inside of my backpack and dispose of it later where convenient. If it has a bowel movement in it, i put that diaper inside of a gallon sized ziplock, seal it up and then inside of the black grocery bag tied up. This will prevent it smelling in my backpack long enough for me to dispose of it. Just don’t forget and leave either wet or soiled diapers in a backpack. They don’t age well!
