Can you use regular grocery bags instead of liners?

You can use a regular grocery bag and half a paper towel at the bottom to reduce splatter. It wont be pretty but it should work.

You could but I wouldn't recommend it due to the tiny holes most cheap grocery store bags have in them. I buy the Potette Plus Liners and they work great. They have a thin cotton pad built into them to absorb urine and I have never had them leak.

Yes, small ones, of course. The actual liners that custom fit this potty are way too expensive. I finally opted to use the little baggies you put dirty diapers in, which are much cheaper and fit well enough.

We have but you have to move quickly because shopping bags often have holes you don't see at first.

No-these are like regular storage bags but used with a handheld Vacuum. Go to Walmart and in the section that they see the foodsaver you will see the ones made for this unit but I have been buying the ones that say Rival on the box-they are cheaper and do the same job. Hope this helps.

I never tried them with regular bags, but I'm sure you could tuck them in around the rim. The regular kitchen trash bags might also be a little too big, but I imagine they are better priced.

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

I use regular trash bags with mine. The simple human might go on easier but if you have ones that stretch at the top a bit it's fine.

I have never bought trash bags. I have always used the supermarket and department store bags for this purpose......way cheaper and they fit perfectly!

Yes you can just seal s bag, just hit the seal button once you insert the bag. I have never tried using regular bags, but I think they would be too thin and not melt properly, and possibly ruin the vacuum slot. Not recommended by Foodsaver.

Absolutely. The grade of plastic used appears to be no different than used in standard plastic grocery bags. Given the current restriction on use of plastic grocery bags in CA, I shipped these to my sister who uses them for her grocery shopping. She is beyond pleased with the quality and with the very reasonable cost of the bags.

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

Yes you could use generic bags but they will most likely show. I have never used generic bags though so I'm just speculating.

No. Using plastic bags would actually make it more difficult. It's simple enough as is.

You can use without the bags, but it is a whole lot easier to manage, dump and keep clean if you do use them. I've done it both ways with all of my compost bins (I also have smaller ceramic crock), and I far prefer to use the bags.

I have owned this litter box for over 6 months and I have NEVER used bag liners. Personally, i think bag liners just get scratched up and do more harm than good. So yes, you can. However, the purpose of bag liners is to keep the litter sanitary and clean - I would definitely be sure to clean the litter often so feces don't stick to the bottom or anything like that. - Heather

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 can use regular trash bags.

I assume you mean the standard grocery store plastic bags that they pack your items in at checkout. The answer is no, they won't take them as the unit is too deep. We use GLAD "ForceFlex" large trash bags - 30 Gallon. Any 20-30 gallon plastic bag will do.

Must one use the "vacuum bags" inside the fabric bag or can you use it "as is?"

Yes you can. In fact it is deigned to use a liner. It will keep the yellow bag clean and in good condition and keep your staff from having to clean out the trash by hand.We used 80" by 60" trash liners. This wiil be very generous and once you pull the bag you can add additional trash and you will still have room to tie the bag. There is a special bracket at the opening to hold the bag in place and a zipper in the front for easy removal of the bag once full.
