Can I use generic trash bags or do I have to buy simple human bags?

Yes. I use off-the-shelf bags; however, you do get a supply from simplehuman when you purchase this wonderful can.

We use the 13 gallon up & up brand from Target which is cheaper and more convenient since we're shopping there anyway.

Not well. I order and use the H bags specific to the simplehuman butterfly step trash can which I own x2 and LOVE!

You'll get 10 Simple Human bags with the can, there nice, but expensive. You can use regular store bought bags, they work just fine.

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

No, you don't need to buy proprietary bags...bought to use in small business, thinking about buying another...love the trash can

I personally use a supermarket plastic bag. It is too small to justify using a commercial trash bag

Yes you can use regular trash bags. Though the tall kitchen garbage bags will be slightly small; we are able to make them fit (we just stretch them a bit to fit over the rim. Though since they are not actually sized for the trashcan, the bag will fill up before the trashcan does. Does that make sense? Whereas the Simple Human bag are made for the trashcan, so you can fit a lot more in the bag before having to change bags. I bought a huge box of normal tall kitchen garbage bags before buying this trashcan; so we are using those up before I even consider buying different bags. Hope this helps. I have to say though... I LOVE THIS TRASHCAN! Works easily, sturdy construction, and stains wipe off with ease.

Yes you do. However, if you register at their site they will give you a $5 off coupon and if you have single stream recycling (like I do), you're not having to replace the bag all that often since you're dumping it into the bin. One bag lasts a week or more for us; which is significant since a vast majority of our "garbage" is recyclables.

They will work but the SH brand trash bags are slimmer to fit the exact size of the trash can. I did find that it was easier to tuck away the excess at the top using the SH brand bags.

Regular plastic grocery bags will be too small for this trash can. For the smaller models they will work. They are not as neat as a simple human trash bags though.

You can, I actually use regular garbage bags, but the couple of bags that came with the bin were really more comfortable. I love the product and their 10 year garuantee I didn't think garbage bins lasted that long

Yes, just two regular trash bags, not special over priced ones. It's awesome!! Everyone that comes to my house buys one........you won't regret it.

No. The bag wraps around the top of the can. There is a small hole where you can tuck in any extra so the edge of the bag doesn't show. This can comes with a pack of Simple Human trash bags, but I have also used generic bags (13gal) and they fit fine. We had a different version previously that did have a plastic piece that help the bag in place. It would often catch on the bag when removing a full bag, and sometimes tore the bag. It was irritating. This one has nothing, not even the lid opening /foot pedal mechanism, that can catch in and tear a bag. I highly recommend it.

I use regular trash bags. Unlike my automatic electric trash compactor, I have found they work just as well.

I have used regular bags, but I ended up going back to the simple human bags because they are so much stronger and they fit inside perfectly and barely show from the outside of the can. But yes, you can use regular bags just fine to save $$$. I buy the big box of simple human bags off of Amazon and it seems to be cheaper than buying the smaller boxes at a retail store but it is still more $$ than just buying regular bags. By the way I love this trash can. I can't believe I spent the money on it that I did, but it was really worth it.

We used any kind of trash bags. Big black ones that you can buy at any dollar stores or Glad garbage bags. Hope this helps you.

You absolutely can, but you can also buy a cheap roll of generic bags that will last you roughly nine thousand years. I recycle all kinds of jars and bags, but I enjoy the perfect fit and non-gap-ness of the real thing for this little bin. It's just a very tidy, efficient design and the proper bags are a part of that, for me.
