Kellie, there have been a few good suggestions from the ladies here for smelly nappy buckets:
- rinsing or little squirting your nappies before dry pailing them (the wet ones as well as the dirty ones)
- making a "hanger" of some fabric or old breast pad and hanging it off the handle and into the bucket after putting quite a few drops of your favourite essential oil on it
- adding baking soda after each nappy. didn't work for me, though.
- holding your breath when opening the bucket
- if all else fails: wash more frequently. ie. every day
- ooooh, yeah, and keep your nappy bucket out of the sun! sounds like a no-brainer, but i like to leave my laundry door (the one that goes into the back yard) open for ventilation and the other day, the afternoon sun was cooking the contents of the nappy bucket. enough said...
Hope you find something that helps. It's pretty rank, isn't it...
Happy birthday, Euan!!! Hope your bum doesn't trouble you too much on your special day.

PP, I did try going topless (on my nappy bucket) once, but I found the whole laundry reeked... I always leave my widow open, but that didn't seem to make much difference... :-(
