I'd like to use the plastic bags from the produce department in supermarket. Would that be a good fit?

I think that would work. I only use my trash can for the used coffee pods so I don't really put yucky trash in the can. It rinses out very nicely.

Yep. That's what I did, too. They're a bit too tall, but because they're such thin plastic, you can stuff the extra into the can at the bottom without filling the can up very much. Unfortunately, unlike Simple Human's floor cans, you WIlL see the bag over the sides of the can - it doesn't have the inner liner that lets you hide the bag completely. Didn't bother me, though.I've since gone with no bags. Like the previous answer says, the can rinses out easily enough that it's just easier. You can also run it through the dishwasher.

I use mine for dog food, but I don't see why you couldn't use for garbage. Not sure how bag would fit inside. Simplehuman sells trash cans though so I might check those out first.

Yes. It will,work just as other reviewers have said. Grocery bags are not as streamlined looking as the small white plastic bags made for this wastebasket style and size but they are functional and cheaper.

I don't think this would be a good option for groceries, unless you buy in bulk and everything is in boxes. Bags would not stay on this well at all.

Probably not unless you use your own grocery or produce bag. The compostible bags suggested for use with this product start to break down as soon as you store your vegie/fruit peels in them.

I would use the Foodsaver bags myself. They are pretty heavy duty and are built for the machine. I would imagine other types of plastic bags would work, they would have to be thicker though.

About the same as the plastic produce bags at the grocery store. I take them with me to the store and don't use the plastic produce bags at all.

I would say yes since they take a 3 gallon bag - in a pinch, I use the plastic bags that you bring groceries home in.

Dear J, I use different brands of food saver bags with my unit. As long as the bags are designed for vacuum sealing you should be fine. Enjoy!

No, those would be too wide and tall. It comes with custom bags from simplehuman that fit the can perfectly. I believe the average plastic grocery bag would work however.

You can just buy regular kitchen trash bags - I get Glad tall kitchen drawstring trash bags at the grocery store and they fit just fine.

Hi DianaqiI use a large bag first as a protection for the black inside bin. I only occasionally change this bag. . This way I virtually never have to clean the bin base. I then use ordinary supermarket bags ( I live in Australia ) and they fit easily. If you tuck the handles around first before you slip the bin in there it's no problem. I have also used plastic bags that come in a roll from the supermarket. They are cheap and come in various sizes. I hope you can follow this. I tried but couldn't attach a photo. Good luck.

Use a grocery size bag that is thick and durable like the bags used at Target. Avoid the thin bags.

I recycle plastic grocery bags. If I had to buy something to fit, I would use any kind of small but durable trash bag.

I use bags from cereal, chips, or any large bag that will go into the garbage anyway. Grocery bags are recyclable so I would rather recycle and use what is going into the garbage any way. It doesn't smell up the house and it probably will sit there a week before we take out the trash.

It depends on where you are going to use it. You could technically use your own plastic shopping bags, but I would double up in case there are tiny holes. The bags that you buy with it have an absorbent pad at the bottom and fit really well on the seat/chair. You don't need bags if you are using it as a ring on a standard toilet.

The inner can is tightly fitted. It has a hole to stuff excess plastic if you buy bags of matching size but fit is iffy. I don't think grocery bags are long enough.
